Hino Mika "Negawakuba Sakura no Ki no shita de" with translation.-Japanese Culture Expeditor

a wonderful old Japanese fashion song from "Enka" category...なのです！！.

How are you going guys!!.

Today... would like to recommend a song from the old fashioned Japanese POP music category called "Enka".(演歌.).

"Negawakuba Sakura no Ki no Shita de" (願わくば桜の木の下で.) by "Mika Hino" (日野美香.) born in Kanagawa, on 1962 December 21st.

She is very popular to the people who are more than fifty years old of ages.

So... if you have a Japanese friend around that age or more, he or she have known the name of Mika Hino and this song too... maybe??.

Be honest... the most of Enka songs are singing in very pessimistic about transience of human life.

Hence do recommend, but not suitable to listen everyday, so beware for it.

But Enka has the features of fundamentals views of modern Japanese mindsets.

Therefore... if you listen with AKB48's "Sakura no Ki ni narou" along with this song.

Ahaha... It may helps you to study us more... maybe??.

Add to that, do you remember that I have said that Sakura is the symbol of "Separation and encounter" before??.

These two songs, "Negawakuba Sakura no Ki no shita de" and "Sakura no Ki ni narou" are the typical examples of expressing our Japanese mindset for Sakura.

Since Sakura flowers are so beautiful, but last just only two weeks, after that be scattered and disappeared away in a short time.

Besides, Sakura season is the end and beginning of a year in Japan.

Therefore, every Japanese people would felt that Sakura are "Hakanai", ephemeral and sorrowful against Sakura flowers.

Ahaha... now, you have reached to understand how delicate and sensitive our Japanese people are!!.

Since Japanese citizens are the race that values such lost beauty.

We keep cherishing gentleness to others.

That is why we keep paying attention to others' feelings and being kind to other national citizens also.

Ahaha... have said too much good things about Japanese people??.

Of course there are scumbag or nasty Japanese people existing here too, but the most of us have the above characteristics.

Therefore... check it out with your own eyes!!.

If you have decided to come over to Japan, we only can do a small help as a volunteer activity, but definitely wishing to be your help.

If so, contact me anytime.
