Description:
This song is national anthem "KI-MI-GA-YO" of Japan.
I arranged it.
Throb and silence.
The artwork is "Katsushika Hokusai" painter of the Edo period.
"Katsushika Hokusai" is a superior ukiyoe master.
His picture was mass-produced with the print.
And, the people enjoyed it at a low price.
He was excellent Entartinar.
This picture is one of the "36 Mt.Fuji-sceneries".
He drew 36 sceneries the Mt. Fuji.
Hardware:
g4,guitar

'the world of the emperor'.....scary title..... I've always thought a very miserable and foreboding tune. The same could be said about most national anthems. I like the way you have rocked/jazzed it up here.
Fine arrangement but I would have liked the middle section to 'do' a bit more. Yes, this is nice......might try an arrangement myself.... [ Reply to This ]

I particularly like... &mdash 06/13/07 - 08:20:12 PM
...the drums on this... During the time that I have been listening to your music, the drums have become more responsive to the song material, more syncopated...
I also love the tone and the phrasing in the guitar...
I don't know this tune, I am sorry to say. I can say that I enjoy the way this version sounds.
I love that Hokusai print, too. Somewhere around the house I have a tiny little book of the Mt. Fuji scenes... I have always liked the one you chose for this, with Fuji in the distance looking like a smaller mountain among the greater ones of the waves... I have also always liked Hokusai's way of drawing waves and spray...
Very enjoyable, Tadashi-san...

The prototype of this song is very quiet.
There is no rhythm.
I gave the rhythm.
You like Hokusai, and are glad.
It is seem suited painting to your room. [ Reply to This ]
Good song. &mdash 06/13/07 - 11:06:22 PM
And thanks for the history lesson. My dad used to tell me stories of him climbing partway up Mt Fuji when he was in the Navy. I wanted to go to Japan, but the Navy sent me to Virginia instead. [ Reply to This ]

Ah, it was possible to understand well.
Your father climbed Fuji.
It was a good climbing mountain.
Thank you very much.

kind as the feel of &mdash 06/16/07 - 07:35:15 AM
the ocean when it is rough and then a quite swell spell. Like that ending, like a push of the wild ocean up the shore. Glad I caught that thought of the ending. Don't know if that was intended but thought it fit in.
Way to do Tad, Like Ed said cool picture too!
Way to Go! [ Reply to This ]

Oh yes! &mdash 07/04/07 - 10:32:39 AM
Hey Tadashi-san, this is one of the best things you've done! There's just a hint of "Crest of A Knave" era Jethro Tull in this. Magnificent guitar riffing...I wish I could get that sound!
Be well friend!
