This comment section feels like a secret place for all of us seeking pure emotion, sadness, history and truth of this world.. I seek for this artist whenever I feel lonely and misunderstood, yet my heart and mind become so peaceful when I see there is a handful of you from all around the world who have found this sacred place... so happy to know there are beautiful people like you, so if you are here listening this for the first time or you've been familiar with this music diamond for some time, thank you for making this world a better place and making me feel like I am not alone even in the darkest hours!
Couldn't have said it better. I'm a twenty one year old male living in Sri Lankan. I'm still studying and trying to become an author. I see soo many people in this comment section which made me feel really happy because we all are here for the same reason. To enjoy a piece of music like this I don't think you could be another clot chaser in a social media site. I just recently came to actually search this theme upon hearing it on NHK world documentary ' seasoning the seasons ' for several weeks. I'm just too happy to see you all gathered in here listening to this. It's such a pleasure. I see everywhere how wrong the world has become. Relationships, people, ethics, they have all blurred out because of the influence today's people are getting from sources they now believe is superior. I just hope that one day I will have friends who I can enjoy these things with me. Though as unlikely as it sounds I have found all of you here so it's not too late. Keep looking for new things and keep on trying to be the best all of you can. Be kind and be grateful to all around you. You guys are beautiful people
"Yoisura-bushi" is a traditional folk song from the Amami Islands in present day Kagoshima prefecture. It was also handed down to Okinawan tradition. It’s a song of protection for brothers or men who have gone out to sea, and is based on the belief in a god, or "Onarigami" [“Unarikami” in Amami dialect], who lives in sisters. A white bird or swan perched upon a ship’s stern is regarded as a symbol of Onarigami, and considered a good sign. The title of the song comes from the traditional musical accompaniment of “Sura-Yoisura”. The words below were translated from Amami into Japanese, and are difficult to translate precisely into English because of some culturally understood meanings. But it’s the lament of a sailor on the high seas who wishes for a sister-goddess, or “Unari-kami” to worship for the blessings of good fortunes against the pull of the gods. 舟ぬ高艦に ヨイスラ (No boat upon a high ship, Yoisura) 舟ぬ高艦に ヨイスラ (No boat upon a high ship, Yoisura) 白鳥ぬ 坐ちゅり スラヨイスラヨイ (No swan sitting, Sura Yoisura Yoi) 白鳥やあらぬ ヨイスラ (The swan is not there, Yoisura) 白鳥やあらぬ ヨイスラ (The swan is not there, Yoisura) 姉妹神がなし スラヨイスラヨイ (Without a sister goddess [Unarikami].

I heard her singing in Samurai Champloo and i HAD to find more songs from her. Her voice is just so beautiful and full of emotion. Everytime i hear her sing, i tear up a little. Very beautiful❤
For some odd reasons, this reminds me of either long faded hopes and dreams or, rather,..... .....long faded memories one hopes to reclaim, trying to catch them as they float further and further away, like dandelion seeds to the wind . Frankly, I think the latter of I've said which would be worse.
This song is so full of emotions, so brakes my soul in little parts. . . . Before this song my true love leaves me forever and she brakes my heart at all. Hearing this sand song I relive her denying, and die again.
I love this woman's voice. She is hauntingly wonderful. I have no Idea what she is saying but strangely it makes no difference. Perhaps you might know the name of the song she sings that is featured on NHK'S Seasoning the Seasons. I can't seem to find it. It has the same haunting beauty. She is really a great talent. Anyone out there know the name of the song on NHK?

I just found this song. Searching so long. I'm glad I found it. Nhk hooked me. This style(and I don't understand the words) is amazing an captivating. I wanna learn to speak the language just to understand her.
we are thirsty for history.... , the onikawan people were the minority of the japanese civilization , this pain can only be developed by a culture that has experienced the discrimination of 100 years. Which they tried to overcome by overthrowing the shogunate every single year through the 100

Clément she looks way young bro
この人の曲を聞くと昔の子ども時代、自分しかいない自然のなか、おじいちゃんおばあちゃんちを思い出す。もう会えない故人に思いを馳せます。幽玄のような、あの世が自分の近くに感じられます。夏の夕暮れにピッタリです。
Sounds like she is singing of something so beautiful that only my heart understands and that makes me cry
Ever since I first heard her voice on 'Seasoning The Seasons' I've wondered who she was. I'm grateful that I found her here on UA-cam. Thank You John.
Her voice is so haunting and so beautiful. I cry EVERYTIME I hear her sing.
The sound of bliss, beautiful.
For some odd reasons, this reminds me of either long faded hopes and dreams or, rather,.....
.....long faded memories one hopes to reclaim, trying to catch them as they float further and further away, like dandelion seeds to the wind .

its so peaceful to me
This music is literally a replacement for heroin because of how peaceful it is and it brings you out of your body as well ❤
Her voice is sculptured by life, we are lucky to sill listening to this era
What are these memories, that don't even belong to me, yet I feel it all.
すばらしい
すごく深い部分に響く
そんな感じの余韻がすごく
心地いいです
言葉がわからなくても
この感じ
すごく好きですね

Thank you for posting the song I was looking to find for long time , I am great full to you
This song is so full of emotions, so brakes my soul in little parts. . . . Before this song my true love leaves me forever and she brakes my heart at all.
Hearing this sand song I relive her denying, and die again.
Ikue Asazak (born 11 November 1935) is a Japanese folk singer from Kagoshima. Phatt....Sound....

Chris Lehman I think you are probably talking about the song おぼくりええうみ (Obokuri Eeumi).
+Moreno Cocchietto No that was the Samurai Champloo one...
Moreno Cocchietto I'm not 100% positive about this, but I think it may be Anma.
I just found this song. Searching so long. I'm glad I found it. Nhk hooked me. This style(and I don't understand the words) is amazing an captivating. I wanna learn to speak the language just to understand her.
Amazing!!
Love you all ✌️
She can sing for me anytime soooo beautiful !!!!
tecnica vocal maravilhosa
Her voice just takes me away… It makes me feel like Im a breeze in the wind.

言葉の意味はわからないのですが、心にこびりついた何かが洗い流されるような感覚に。明日からまた頑張ろう。暗い事も明るい事も。

we are thirsty for history.... , the onikawan people were the minority of the japanese civilization , this pain can only be developed by a culture that has experienced the discrimination of 100 years. Which they tried to overcome by overthrowing the shogunate every single year through the 100
