Ryukyu-flute, a bamboo flute from Okinawa.
The charm of this flute, which is different from the flute and the shinobue, is presented in the form of original compositions.
The first of five songs based on Okinawan landscapes is "Ayami Havel," a song about Okinawa's largest butterfly, the Yonagunisan, dancing in the island's sky.
The second song, "Lanterns," is about the feeling of being chimedo (excited) by the lanterns and lanterns of a festival.
The third song, "Katabui," a song about the phenomenon of rain falling only in certain places, reflects the ephemeral changes in the weather.
The fourth song, "Yanbaru," is set in the northern part of Okinawa, where a variety of creatures live. The vast landscape is represented by the extended sound of the flute, accompanied by the rhythm of the heartbeat echoing through the mountains.
The final piece will be "Akabana," a piece performed in collaboration with the members of the Ryukyu Flute Research Institute, which is run by Yume as part of the Ryukyu Flute Popularization Project.
