about

We are happy to release the last song in the series, “Hogaku 2.0 - Hauta (端唄) Edo Period Ballads Live”. “Hauta” is the name of the popular short ballads enjoyed in the Edo period in Japan, around the 17th century. Today, it is mostly performed by Geisha for entertainment purposes.
“Kyo No Shiki” is one of the representative Hauta songs and describes the scenery of four seasons in Kyoto one by one. Atsumi added his guitar arrangement to these songs while preserving the original form to convey the distinctive charms of "Hauta" to modern listeners. The special Ohayashi (the rhythm section) parts add vibrancy to the whole composition. This EP was recorded live at the Kyoto Prefectural Center for Arts and Culture in December 2021.

「京の四季」
（作者不詳）

邦楽ニ.〇端唄ライブシリーズ第3段。端唄とは、17世紀頃に誕生したとされる江戸時代のポップスである。現在は芸妓(芸者)による宴席や舞踊で演奏される機会が多い。「京の四季」は京都の風物を四季折々に唄う端唄の代表曲。渥美幸裕は端唄の持つ日本独特な唄の間合い、色気などの魅力を現代に伝えるべく、原曲そのままに合うようにギターアレンジを加えた。加えて、お囃子 (リズムパート)にも新しいアレンジが施された。2021年12月に行われた「邦楽ニ.〇」公演からのLIVEバージョンとしてリリース。

lyrics

春は花
いざ見にごんせ東山
色香あらそう夜桜や
浮かれ浮かれて
粋も無粋もものがたい
二本差しても柔らこう
祇園豆腐の二軒茶屋
みそぎぞ夏はうち連れて
川原につどう夕涼み
よいよいよいよい
よいやさ

真葛ヶ原にそよそよと
秋は色ます華頂山
時雨をいとうから傘に
濡れて紅葉の長楽寺
思いぞ積もる円山に
今朝も来て見る雪見酒
そして櫓のさし向かい
よいよいよいよい
よいやさ
