BEGIN / “Shimanchu nu Takara” 20th Anniversary MV
Islanders' TreasureBEGIN

A classic song that represents Okinawa, widely known as the image song for NHK’s “30th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion to the Mainland.” It’s popular across generations, but when a man in his 50s sings it at karaoke or in a snack bar, his life experience adds a persuasive depth that warms up the room.

Since the song itself has a gentle Okinawan feel, it’s better to sing softly, as if speaking to the listener, rather than belting it out.

The melody flows smoothly, so try not to break the phrases too much—take a good breath and sing through to the end of each line.

That will help bring out the right atmosphere.

BEGIN’s classic song “Koishikute.” It’s packed with the essence of the blues, with a pervasive sense of melancholy throughout.

The key reason it’s easy to sing is, above all, the tempo.

Although it’s very slow, it doesn’t rely heavily on long sustained notes, so even those who struggle with breath control can sing it without issue.

Also, because it’s rooted in the blues, mistakes can often be turned into stylistic variations, which makes it an easy song to perform in that sense as well.

Orion Beer, Okinawa’s prideBEGIN3rank/position

Songs by BEGIN from Okinawa are truly gentle and warm.

Among them, this track is colored by a uniquely Okinawan sense of family love, brought to life by Okinawan instruments, and it just makes you want to dance.

The karaoke room instantly turns into an Okinawan mood, you start craving Orion Beer, and you feel like heading to Okinawa.

This is one of the signature songs by BEGIN, a band from Okinawa.

The Okinawan folk-inspired melody strongly evokes summer, and the lyrics are profound, making it a song that lets you feel the quiet essence of the season as you listen.

I highly recommend it for summertime.
