Saitaro Bushi from ATODASHI by Ten Ten
There is a traditional song in Miyagi and Iwate to sing when fishing boats return to port with a big catch. This song is about a young ironsmith named Saitaro, sentenced to exile on a distant island, where he becomes a fisherman; as he rows he sings this lament. This tune is very popular among fishermen because of its rhythm and melody.
