Hello everyone,
With the help of certain people, I want to perform this song:

This song is called eien ni (or towa ni). I guess there are Okinawa techniques on singing… or minyo ones… in certain parts Toug I don’t know…
What type of shamisen is used in this song? I think tsugaru, but I’m not sure. However, I don’t know anyone who plays tsugaru-shamisen and we need someone, because we want to perform this song posting it on a website I’ll create with the help of a friend. If is someone interested, can you please say it in the forum and posting your e-mails from private messages? Thank you very much!
I don’t know this Japanese singer, but, surfing and surfing the Net, I found this song and get in love with it

That’s a tsugaru for sure!

I’m not sure about the singing techniques. It reminds me a lot of enka in terms of song structure and her phrasing though.

Hello and thank you!!!
OK for the shamisen: I thought of a tsugaru, but I wasn’t sure…
Enka? Did you say enka? REally?
I listened lots of enka stuff and, personally, don’t like it… Not properly: I don’t like the vibrato used in enka, but I like when koto or shamisen are used!
Time ago, I made a parody of an enka song, with a friend who plays the koto and jiuta-shamisen style. Despite being 13 years old, he likes enka!!! When singing, I didn’t stop laughing, because, when try to be crazy, I Always laugh!!!
I need someone who can help me playing the tsugaru-jamisen (di I write correct?) parts for the song…
I didn’t know that! I noticed also we’ll perform this song in an event.
We cannot see in person, maybe… because we live in different continents… but an MP3 soundflile is appreciated!!! :slight_smile:
Can someone interested send me a private message or send me a mail via Bachido mail service? Thanks! It’s because I don’t want to botter someone… :slight_smile:
I won’t post my mail in public for privacy
