天涯 源-minamoto- live2008/5/1@air

http://www.minamoto-project.com/
2008/5/1airで行われたVIBESに出演したときの源-minamoto- のライブ映像です。
今回、唯一Takemiが作曲したのがこの曲。
90s初期のハウスを彷彿とさせる、フワリとしたシンセパットにからむ三味線と琴の音色が、驚くほどベーシックなハウスビートに馴染む。
天に昇るかのような幻想的なナンバー。

kokiriko bushi - original japanese folk song performance

‘the oldest song in japan’
popularized by omodaka’s remix.
Listen in around 0:33 and you can easily spot the chorus that was used in omodaka’s mix.

A kokiriko is an ancient instrument used by the dancers in this video.
bushi is tune.
pretty obvious.
