Please note: tape / cassette! Im Dorf Tomari auf der Hauptinsel der Präfektur Kagoshima stieß Shotaro Aoyama auf ein Volkslied, das von den Dorfbewohnern während eines Bon-Tanzes gesungen wurde. Da die Sänger verschwunden waren, waren die Kassetten, die die Inselbewohner besaßen, die einzige Tonquelle, und die Musik wurde auf der Grundlage dieser Kassetten produziert.
Sales Information:
In the village of Tomari on the main island of Kagoshima Prefecture, Shotaro Aoyama came across a folk song that was sung by the townspeople during a Bon dance.
Since the singers had disappeared, the cassette tapes owned by the islanders were the only source of sound, and the music was produced based on these tapes.
The songs on the tape were sung by five singers who took turns singing them, and were structured like a long story, with the music evolving from Chapter 1 to Chapter 5 according to the song structure.
The B-side contains an instrumental version of the track.[info sheet from distr.]
