About Japanese Folk Songs

Hi Guys
I'm really searching about Japanese people or person who lives in Japan...

I like Japanese traditional songs very much... I had a piece of Japanese folk song but I don't know the name of it...
So, can you please give me the name of this song... and here the link which you can listen to: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0a5ySDDJ4k8

I will be so thankful to you if you can give me the name of the song...

Best Wishes

It seems like no one from Japan here!!!

:( :( :(

It is a Japanese song - sounds like category of "ENKA"
I hear after long introduction only words "old town, new town, hopeful town..." I tried to search by these lyrics in fail. The melody of ENKA is all similar and I do not know this song. Please give me the part of hook-line since sometimes the title of song appears there.

Hello GattoNegro,

Thank you very much for your concern and reply

Regarding to my normal experience in Japanese folk music styles, this song is not consider as ENKA song, its different from that, and here the example of ENKA folk style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvvXOfLs-ng

As you see its very big different, and I don't like an ENKA style :-)

Thank you very much again, and I hope if any one can help

both are enka style.
since the voice is very clear, but negative by google search. it might be not famous.
need more phrases.
it might be an inserted song singing in old movies (or drama), when changing the scenes to a new one .

Can you explain to me the types of Japanese ENKA style?!

I'm really surprised that the song what I search for it considered as ENKA!

UP PLEASE!

Thanks a lot my Japanese dear friends :)

Are these near your image?

These folk songs are called "Minnyo".

These songs were sung in each local area = prefecture.

I hope if you give me some Japanese folk songs with "Yo" scale :)

Thanks guys

Where are my Japanese folk dear friends?!

Hi

It was very difficult for me as I don't know well about music.

I checked what Japanese scales are.
http://soundweaver.jp/scales/japan/japan

And I could see that many Japanese songs are made on "You" scale.

"you" scale is also called "Yona-nuki" scale.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A8%E3%83%8A%E6%8A%9C%E3%81%8D%E9%...

The famous min-yo under Yo scale is "Kisobushi" "Hietsuki-bushi".

The most popular one is "Ue wo muite aru koo " whichi was called "Sukiyaki" though the meaning was absolutely different.
There are many songs under Yo scale like these.

It was good opportunity that I can see Japanese scales, thak you.

Thanks a lot my dear biwakoman...

I appreciate you being so co-operative...

I have a piece of melody here: http://vocaroo.com/i/s066QcCXaZkp

I think it considered as a Chinese folk style

I hope if anyone knows the name of it, or if you can give me some Japanese folk melodies same like this style

Thanks guys
