OMORO-SOSHI

The artist MEIRI, who represents "NEO Ryukyu," has been creating lyrics and music with a unique worldview, transmitting the emotions that connect Okinawa's traditional music to the present. In this latest work, she conveys feelings that bridge Ryukyu and the contemporary world. The melody of the Okinawan folk song "Chunjun Nagari," commonly used in traditional Okinawan Eisa performances, is sampled at the beginning, creating a refreshing and enchanting introduction. The title of this song is derived from the song collection "Omoro-soshi," created during the Ryukyu Kingdom era, and MEIRI, as a modern-day singer, delivers the "Umui" engraved by the people of old Ryukyu across time. As you turn the pages, you'll find a love story that feels both heartwarming and poignant, along with an exhilarating and fantastical party tune that you'll want to revisit again and again.
