This time, as part of the "Folk to Trance" series, I’ve taken on Japanese folklore and the amazing traditional Japanese instruments. My set of synthesizers and samplers also includes their unique sounds, so I was able to use them. Shamisen, koto, biwa, taiko drums, and shakuhachi have always had an exotic appeal to me. Now you can hear them in a trance style. Enjoy!

Tym razem w ramach cyklu "Folk to Trance" wziąłem na warsztat japoński folklor i niesamowite japońskie instrumenty tradycyjne. Mój zestaw syntezatorów i samplerów zawiera także ich niepowtarzalne dźwięki więc mogłem je wykorzystać. Shamisen, koto, biwa, bębny taiko czy sahakuchachi zawsze były dla mnie egzotycznie pociągające. Teraz możecie je usłyszeć w stylistyce trance. Dobrej zabawy!

今回は「Folk to Trance」シリーズの一環として、日本の民俗音楽と素晴らしい日本の伝統楽器に挑戦しました。
私のシンセサイザーやサンプラーには、これらの独特な音色も含まれているので、それらを活かすことができました。
三味線、琴、琵琶、太鼓、そして尺八は、いつも私にとってエキゾチックで魅力的な存在でした。
今回は、それらをトランスのスタイルでお聴きいただけます。どうぞお楽しみください！

ここで桜がいちばん美しく咲きます。
ここで太陽が昇ります。
ここで富士山が国の上に高く昇っています。
富士の頂からは海と港に近づく船が見え、そして三崎の港も見えます。
そこで最高のマグロを買うことができます。
すべては天照の恵みによります。

[rōmaji transcription]
Koko de sakura ga ichiban utsukushiku sakimasu.
Koko de taiyō ga noborimasu.
Koko de Fuji-san ga kuni no ue ni takaku nobotteimasu.
Fuji no itadaki kara wa umi to minato ni chikazuku fune ga mieru, soshite Misaki no minato mo mieru.
Soko de wa saikō no maguro o kaemasu.
Subete wa Amaterasu no megumi ni yorimasu.

[English translation]
Here, the cherry blossoms bloom most beautifully.
Here, the sun rises.
Here, Mount Fuji towers above the land.
From the summit of Fuji, you can see the sea, the ships approaching the harbor, and the port of Misaki.
There, you can buy the finest tuna.
All of this is thanks to the grace of Amaterasu.

[Polish translation]
Tutaj kwitnie wiśnia najpiękniej.
Tutaj wschodzi słońce.
Tutaj góra Fuji wznosi się nad krajem.
Ze szczytu Fuji widać morze i okręty zbliżające się do portu i port w Misaki.
Tam kupisz najlepszego tuńczyka.
Wszystko dzięki łasce Amaterasu.

A remix of some of Jeroen Tel's sids from the c64 mixed with my touch and additions with solos and stuff. Lousy instruments but close to the original c64-sounds :)
