" Sanshin" Okinawan Folk music ( Ryukyu Minyo)

Derek (ichiro)Shiroma - email for more info at Urizun808@aol.com

This is one of my favorite folk songs. I've seen various spellings of the title.

I wanted to identify all the different versions available. These are the ones I know about:

1. Japanese Story (Original Soundtrack), Elizabeth Drake
- Chinsagu No Hana
- Hotel
- "Very Old Rock"
- "I'd Like To Be Involved" [Chinsagu No Hana]

2. Tinsagu no Hana, Rimi on the Beach, Rimi Natsukawa

3. Tinsagu no Hana, Okinawa Best Song Collection, Vol. I [ARTIST?]

4. Chinsagu nu Hana, Iha Four Sisters

Reminder: That Okinawan TV show I mentioned at the meeting:
"Sit-in on the Sea" (2006, 48 mins)
This powerful bilingual (Japanese with English subtitles) documentary from Okinawa shows the spirit of Uchinanchu in their ongoing struggle with Japan for self-determination, human rights and peace.
