long, longtime favorite song by this artist. i have no idea what the lyrics mean--it's a traditional folk song from okinawa--but the arrangement and vocals of the record really, really appeal.
ryuichi sakamoto - asadoya yunta
fwiw, i first became aware of sakamoto while living in japan, during a time when he was involved with the technopop group, yellow magic orchestra (YMO).
(and for those who think that i think blondie can do no wrong, they did a pretty blah cover of this song. i actually can't even play it.)
