    Having been born in 1961, this song doesn't only sound foreign, but too old for my taste. In one of your previous videos you talked about a song you used to always sing on May Day? I had never heard it. We used to sing the Shoshoji song on May Day - the Japanese song about a racoon who loves to eat koi. I still remember most of the words.
