TANKO BUSHI - Sung by Masao Suzuki Jr
Tankō Bushi (炭坑節) is a Japanese folk song. Despite the term "fushi/bushi" found in its name, the rhythm is in swung, ondo style (2/2 rhythm). It is a song about coal mining, and it refers to old Miike Mine in Kyūshū (Tagawa City) specifically Fukuoka Prefecture, It is a common song used in Bon dances during the Bon Festival in August 15, and the dance that accompanies it depicts actions in mines such as shovelling coal, throwing a bag of coal over the shoulders, wiping sweat from the brow or pushing a cart of coal. Tanko Bushi is often thought of as a coal miner's work song, but it’s actually a very romantic love song. The lyrics talk about a female coal miner longing for her romantic partner.
