Description:
This Japanese folk song is sung during the annual Star Festival, when trees are decorated with wishes written on colorful strips of paper. Greg's partner song arrangement pairs the traditional pentatonic melody with a new countermelody and some English words by Takashi Nakamura. A pronunciation guide and translation are included in the publication. A gently flowing selection just right for beginners.
