Japanese history
For the tears that flow on this island and for the songs that flow down the road. For the 30 years of "shimauta", the dialogue with the 10 people living in Okinawa. "Can the Yamato people release this song?" The story that the musician Kazufumi Miyazawa heard from the survivors of the Battle of Okinawa has given a shock to her. Although she was lost, she produced and released "shimauta." This song, which has become an unprecedented hit, has greatly changed the scenery of Okinawa and the fate of Miyazawa herself. This song has become an unprecedented hit, and now she writes about the years she has spent learning about and interacting with the islands of Okinawa despite her conflicts, and her thoughts on the history and culture of Miyazawa herself, who has been greatly influenced as a musician. Also, "I want to listen to the story about Okinawa's figure that cannot be seen from her own eyes, and think about Okinawa's past and future." This is a book about the dialogue between Miyazawa and Okinawa, looking for "Words that Tell the Future about Okinawa" in each place from her 20 s to her 90 s, on the 50 th anniversary of her "return to Japan". [Essay] On the day when I met with Okinawan "water lines" and "Words that sing Okinawa," I wanted to return to the Okinawan folk songs that had led me to meet people under the guidance of the song "Isn't your music imperialism?" To those of us who didn't know about Okinawa.
