KURODA-BUSHI / Hinokuni Mugen

[Machine Translation] The spirit of Kyushu is here now! - Motoki Morinaga's new single is an ambitious new take on a Japanese folk song. KURODA-BUSHI" is a rock arrangement of "Kurodabushi", a typical folk song from Fukuoka prefecture, with a shamisen accompaniment. Hinokuni Yumegen" is a large work full of light and shade with a sense of desolation based on the Kumamoto folk song "Tawarazaka (Gokibushi)" and "Goki no Komoriuta (Lullaby of Goki)". KURODA-BUSHI" is based on the nationally famous Fukuoka folk song "Kurodabushi". The melody of the song remains the same as the original, but the prelude, interlude, and postlude are arranged in a completely new way. The first half of "Hinokuni Mugen" starts with a fantastic melody, followed by the folk song "Tawarazaka" (Goukubushi) about the Seinan War (Civil War), the second half is a folk song "Goki no Komoriuta" (Lullaby of Goki), and the ending is the folk song "Tawarazaka" again. It is a magnificent historical picture scroll set in Kumamoto Prefecture.
