Hello everyone,
I am looking for tabs of the following pieces:
Tokyo Ondo
Non Noko Bushi
Chakkiri Bushi
Does anyone know of a source or where I can get these tabs?
Non Noko Bushi: 三味線のおけいこ（Shamisen practice）③のんのこ節（non-noko-bushi) - YouTube
Tokyo Ondo: 三味線のおけいこ（Shamisen practice）②東京音頭（Tokyo Ondo） - YouTube
Chakkiri Bushi: Umekichi 12 - Chakkiri Bushi - YouTube
Tokyo Ondo I found at Shamimaster, but it’s not the version I’m searching for.
Thank’s a lot for your time and help,
Felix
Chakkiri Bushi and Tokyo Ondo are both in the Fujimoto min’yo books. Consult the following image to find out which
Nonnoko is likely the same as Nagasaki Nonnoko, but please confirm with your instructor.
Please note that these books have the current Fujimoto versions of these songs, which may differ from the versions you want. Fujimoto’s arrangements are widespread, but they’re far from the only example.
Thank you very much, Brown!
Nagasaki Nonnoko Bura
Tokyo Ondo?
I found other listings from here;
I could have sworn an Amazon link had a sample of Tokyo Ondo tabs but its in the links above and not sure this is right above. You probably looked on shamisen space as well. If I can later find from your list I will post as well.

I found this site which has various scores including tokyo ondo, I just don’t understand which tuning to use…how do you read the various tunings on Japanese scores? Thank you
In the upper left is says 二上り = niagari, which in the key of C is C-G-C.
Shamisen don’t have set tunings, so technically you can start with any note as long as you maintain the distance between the tones. The second chart under section 3 of this site shows the different possible tunings: https://www.shamisen.ne.jp/shamisen_life/shop/report8_tyougen.html
Kyle provides a wonderful explanation in this thread:
