      @@jamesmikhail017uy2 There is a historical context in here. This lullaby is about (and sung by) a poor girl from Gokanosho Village who is looking after a child from a wealthy family in Itsuki Village and is unable to return to her home until the Bon Festival. In fact, people from Gokanosho were the remnants of the Heike clan, dispersed after the defeat in the war with the Minamoto clan. And those rich families in Itsuki were Minamoto. So yeah, the song is kinda bitter.

    Listening to it again I think I get why it’s such a good theme. The basis of the melody being an actual Japanese folk melody makes it feel so authentic. The desperation and darkness of the traditional Japanese scale expresses the great suffering of their culture. And the build up shows that somewhere buried deep in the darkness, they still had hope. And yes, the European instruments make the theme feel a bit more western than Japanese, but I think overall the Japanese identity is unmistakable.

    People are always thinking why there is this sort of uneasy feeling about really old classical Japanese music. The thing is, Japan as we know is sure a very peaceful and kind country, however before?
    Japan was built on blood and corpses. For centuries, Japan was feared by pretty much all the east Asia, even China feared them at one point.
    They were a country of war and their soldiers showed no mercy. Kill or be killed.
    Anyways, that is all in the past. We live in present, and present Japanese people have nothing to do with this. Even though their ancestors were merciless fighters, it doesn't mean they are ones as well. If we were to blame people for mistakes of their ancestors, there wouldn't be a single good person on this planet. No matter where they would be from.

    • @neilgossell5841
      @neilgossell5841 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      This is because most classical japanese music uses what's known as the Hirajōshi scale. In a way it's comparative to a blues scale, but where a blues scale has more of a major tonality, the Hirajōshi scale is distinctly minor.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiraj%C5%8Dshi_scale Has some good information about it>
      and th-cam.com/video/7pYYpOFPy5o/w-d-xo.html shows some pretty good examples of how the scale can be used with a piano, creates a distinctively japanese sound.
