Thanks so much! I understand that this is a traditional folk song. I searched YouTube but could not find any other video on it. Do you know of any singer who has sung it? Google says 岸千恵子 has sung it.

This is so adorable though!

kawaii = cute!!! and yes it is very cute - after looking at a bunch of shamisen vids on you tube i am amazed that they were all fast and flashy - very nice but i wondered what happened to the traditional beautiful music i remebered from my 3 years in japan and okinawa back in the 60's - nice to see it here in this vid - thanks
