The long-awaited recording of "Junsai Ondo," a local folk song that has become a staple in our live repertoire, has finally been released.
It's a rock bon odori number with a twist from the original, and is well worth a listen.
Let me tell you how I came to start performing this song in the first place.
When I first went to Muryoku Muzenji Temple, Yoshiwara Tragedy recommended Tomokawa Kazuki's album "Inu."
I heard "Dojokko Funakko" from the album and thought I'd like to do a folk-style song myself, and that's when I discovered "Junsai Ondo."It's a very local number that's barely known even by people from Akita Prefecture, and only known by local residents.
I would be delighted if Suzuki Satoshi's version sparks your interest in Junsai.

His music, described as belonging to the passionate lineage of the Tohoku region,is highly acclaimed for its literary and misanthropic qualities. Meanwhile, his Akita dialect blues another key aspect of his stylehave garnered significant attention after being featured in local newspapers.
