Music, Movies, and Books

Here is my favorite music I recommend to you.

This is beautiful Amami minyou. When I listen this song, every time tear come from my eyes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbwJnUHdg4M

She sing by Amami dialect. Most Japanese doesn't understand Okinawan/Amami old traditional dialect.
This is the lyrics.

The way of sing shimauta(traditional Okinawan/Amami songs) use special muscle in your throat.

"Poetry of The Gods"from Himegami. They song by Ainu language which is old Northern native Japanese people used to use. You'll feel Japanese ancient through this music.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWnKBfTiO5E&feature=related
