Here I go again. Scouring the internet until I find a picture that satisfies me. To be honest, I made all my posts last season so elaborate and specific that I am out of ideas! Well, here goes nothing. I am anxious to hear what you guys thought or what story you have made in the comment section.
Guess what, it’s time for Fall SBC 2017!!! My first post is about my avatar. Since last season, my avatar is the same. I made it from Otaku Avatar Maker. It represents me because I like watching anime and love to read (book in hand.)
Today, I will be continuing my posts about Bon Dance in Hawaii. Omatsuri Daiko is a popular song affililiated with a lot of old Obon Songs such as, Shinnan Ondo, Tanko Bushi, Sakura Ondo, Chanchiki Okesa, Edo Omatsuri Bayashi.The beginning beat consists with the Taiko playing Three hard hits in the center and four hits on the rim (Don and a Don and a Don Ka ra ka ra.) It continues with patterns that sync with the beat or Ji.
This beat can also be used in a song called ‘Fukushima Ondo,’ which is performed by a group. The song consists of Taiko syncopation and soloing, Shime Daikos (Rope-tensioned Drums,) timekeeping, The flute played playing a melodic beat, and the long chants from the singer. Here’s an example from Ewa Hongwanji.
Okay, this is just a basic terminology for the song! Hope you enjoyed.
