Song of Chuo-ku ♪ Irifune / Shintomicho arranged lyrics Minatokko-chan
Hello, this is Minato kid.
I made a song from Chuo-ku. Minato-ko is singing on the guitar.
The inside of parentheses is code. The one chorus consists of A Melo and B Melo. This time it's for 2 choruses. Today, I will sing Irifune and Shintomicho!

♪ Intersection of Irifune Bridge
At the intersection of Irifunebashi, beside the entrance of Tokyo Metro Shintomicho Station, there is a monument to the birthplace of the shoe industry surrounded by planting. In 1870 (1870), it was the first place where leather shoes were manufactured in Japan.
Katsuzo Nishimura said that he started the shoe business in anticipation that military shoes would be needed in the future. The fact that there was a Tsukiji foreign settlement nearby was also a catalyst for success. By the way, when you wear leather shoes, you also need socks, and the birthplace of socks is said to be located at Chuo-ku government office.
♪ Squirrel
With the establishment of Tsukiji foreign settlements, a flower district has been set up in the current Shintomi-cho. The Kuo moat, which was excavated at that time, was called Ohagurodobu. It is said that the prisoner of Ishikawajima was involved in the excavation work.
The stone used for the revetment of the Ohagurodobu is on display on the premises of the Fuji Ceramics Building along Shin-ohashi-dori St.
♪ The continuation of the song
This song is still going on.
I think the video sung by the local people in each scene is interesting. It feels like the people who sing are changing with each flavor. It feels like a baton touch of a song.
Minato-ko sings with a single guitar, but since it's a long song, I'd like to incorporate other instruments so that it doesn't become monotonous. It sounds interesting to change the drum pattern in each town and make changes, and add sounds that represent the characteristics of the area to the accompaniment.
For example, in the scene of Tsukiji I sang last time, I heard the voice of Seri behind, or in this Shintomi-cho, I think it would be interesting to arrange such a style sound.
From now on, I will continue to sing the city of Chuo-ku!
One day, my dream is to sing a big chorus with everyone who loves Chuo-ku!
