Shinshu Yu no Machi Ondo

[Machine Translation] Morihiko Ishiguro's New Songs are Two Fun Songs! Ishiguro Morihiko, who loves to sing and has been active mainly in Nagano Prefecture, has been releasing new songs every year for the past few years under the guidance of local lyricist Shoichi Akahane. The first song was a lyric about his hometown, and the next was a historical piece. Both songs, "Shinshu Yunomachi Ondo" and "Shinshu Yunomachi Ondo" are rhythmic, fun songs that incorporate Kasuga Onsen, Togura Onsen, and Nagawa Onsen in Nagano Prefecture into the lyrics, singing about the joys of hot springs in an ondo style. The song will be choreographed and performed on stage, and may be popular at Bon Odori dances in the summer. The song "Salesman's Song" is based on Ishiguro's experience as a sewing machine salesman, and he wanted to write a song about his way of life. It is a funny and enjoyable song about the pain and joy of long years of sales.

石黒守彦の新曲は楽しい歌2曲! 歌が好きで長野県を中心に活躍してきた石黒守彦は、地元の作詞家の赤羽正一氏の指導の元、このところ毎年、新曲を発表してきた。最初の歌は地元を題材にした抒情歌、次回は歴史物。そして今回は2曲とも、リズミックな楽しい歌「信州湯の町音頭」は長野県の春日温泉、戸倉温泉、長和温泉を歌詞の中に入れ込み、温泉の楽しさを音頭調で歌っている。この歌は踊りの振り付けをしてもらい、ステージで披露するそうで、夏の盆踊りでも好評になるかもしれない。「営業マンのうたうたい」は石黒が今まで、ミシンの営業をしてきたことから、自分の生きざまを歌にしたいということから出来上がった。長い間の営業の辛さ、楽しさを、おかしくも楽しい歌として仕上っている。
