(*Music starts at 0:14*) One of the early "protest songs" by legendary folk singer Okabayashi Nobuyasu. The word "burakumin" refers literally to the residents of certain hamlets traditionally associated with leatherwork. The butchering of cattle rendered them "impure" in the Buddhist scheme of things, and discrimination led to poverty which led to discrimination.

The song is sung from the daughter's perspective (though the singer is the man Okabayashi). She laments their poverty, a poverty so great that it prompted her mother to run off. The daughter longs for the absence mother, a woman who presumably would take her out clothes shopping and buy her cute stuff (like skirts with tulip appliques on it). How's that?

@minus273cn Well that has more to do with my limited Japanese... I just didn't understand the story: the mother left the family because it is too poor to have skirts with tulip appliques?

Great! Can you also do a translation of Churippu no Appurike?

今の時代、「部落差別」をしているのは60代以上の世代の方でし

Well, you could try the other singers I have songs for on this channel. Also check out Nakagawa Goro, who is fantastic, and Mikami Kan, who is so radical that his lyrics sound almost like punk, though the music is sort of folk. Hope that helps. (Ah, by the way, I list the Japanese names in Japanese order--that is, family name first and given name second.)

I have heard this prejudice still occurs in Japan by some companies ...
