Mion

When I visited Naha, I went to a local izakaya at night and chose Kaion Restaurant. Their toriyaki and grilled fish are a perfect match with beer. So delicious!

Please pretend this is a sound text. It is said that Okinawa must listen to local music. If you can have a good dinner with singing, it must be a quite good experience. On the noisy international pass, from time to time, there are clear but beautiful songs. Following one of the good folk songs, we walked into a tavern. The uncle who greeted the guests at the door looked full of vitality and asked us aloud how many of us were dining. The music was too loud. Before I looked through the menu, the performance had reached a climax. Almost all the diners who had settled in stood up at the agitation of the singer, spontaneously surrounded themselves in a circle, and writhing their bodies with their hands waving the music. The little brother who just received us was a demagogue of the atmosphere. Standing in the middle and leading everyone to Hippi. For a while, I didn't believe that this was a legendary Japanese that was always very depressing. During the meal, the familiar melody floated into my ears, and I realized that this was not Zhou Huajian's "Huaxin"! ? Originally, "Flower Heart" was sang by Japanese singer Shina Changji. In Okinawa these days, streets and attractions can always hear some songs that seem to melody and some similar, which are mixed with the sound of sea-like silk bamboo. At this moment, the mystery has been all solved, this beautiful sound, it is from a kind of musical instrument called "three lines", that is, the stage in the middle of the woman's hand, and the traditional national musical instrument of China three strings very similar. In fact, Okinawa "three lines" also really affected by the three strings, the name of the three strings is not an exaggeration. If you are interested, listen to the Begin band song. This is a band of three singers from Okinawa Ishigaki Island, their own unique musical instrument "one or five minutes", and it inherits and carries forward the characteristics of Okinawa folk songs. Although we can't understand Japanese, music is our common language. The familiar and beautiful melody lingers in my ears for a long time, so that even if I return to China, I will still be excited for the Okinawa folk songs I accidentally heard. ​​​​
