The Dance of the Shamisen
In the land of the Rising Sun,
where tradition intertwines
There’s a festival of sound
that moves with ancient vibes
The shamisen,
with its swift and rhythmic sway
Sets fire to the night as we dance till break of day
The delicate strings,
plucked with passion and precision
Echo through the air,
creating a hypnotic vision
The pulse of the beats,
merging with electronic waves
Taking us on a trance journey,
lost in its embrace
三味線祭り (Shamisen Matsuri),
the spirits come alive
With every strum,
we feel our souls take flight
An electrifying dance between past and future collide
三味線祭り (Shamisen Matsuri),
our hearts, unified.
