Donpan Bushi
ドンパン節
| [Genre] | Min'yo |
| [School] | Min'yo |
History (Takahashi Yujiro):
| A lively dance and party song from Akita; title and chorus imitate percussion. (chorus:) dondon pan pan donpanpan etc. Talking about bragging rights, I won't lose: this is the heartland of rice, the heartland of sake; Akita's butterbur is the best in all Japan; and Ono no Komochi came from here. People are cute when they're drinking, cuter still when they babble drunken nonsense; strolling along nine abreast, four on the right and four on the left. When you listen to a song, keep quiet! Some people sing well, some don't. Go ahead and try singing yourselves - you'll find it's harder than you think! |
