Song of Chuo-ku ♪ Irifune, Shin-Tomicho, lyrics arranged by Minatokko-chan
Hello, my name is Minato-chan.
I made a song from Chuo-ku. Minato kid sings on his guitar.
The code is in parentheses. One chorus consists of A Melo and B Melo. This time it's two choruses. Today we are going to enter the ship and sing Shin-Tomicho!

♪ Intersection of Irifune Bridge
At the intersection of Irifune Bridge, 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 to manufacture leather shoes in Japan.
It is said that Katsuzo Nishimura started the shoe business in anticipation of the need for military shoes in the future. In addition, the fact that there was a Tsukiji foreign reservation nearby was also a catalyst for success. By the way, when you wear leather shoes, you will also need socks, and the birthplace of socks is said to be located at Chuo-ku Office.
♪ Ohagurodobu
With the establishment of Tsukiji Foreign Reservation, a flower district was set up in the current Shin-Tomicho area. 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 seawall of the Haguro Dobu is displayed on the premises of the Fuji Ceramics Building along Shin-ohashi-dori St.
♪ A continuation of the song
This song is still going on.
I think it is interesting to see the images sung by the local people in each scene. 1 I feel like the people who sing are changing with each flake. It's like a song baton touch.
Minato-ko sings with a single guitar, but since it is a long song, I would like to incorporate other instruments so that it does not become monotonous. It seems interesting to change the drum pattern for each town and make changes, and to add sounds that represent the characteristics of the area to the accompaniment.
For example, in the scene of Tsukiji where I sang last time, I could hear the voice of Seri in the back, and in this Shin-Tomicho, I think it would be interesting to arrange it in such a way, such as putting a Kabuki-like sound.
We will continue to sing the city of Chuo-ku more and more!
One day, my dream is to sing a large chorus with everyone who loves Chuo-ku!
