Song of Chuo-ku ♪ Ginza Higashiginza Arrived 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. Today, I will sing Ginza and Higashiginza!

♪ An alley in Ginza
In Ginza, the town layout of Edo remains as it is. When you go one step back from Ginza Street, small alleys are lined up. Each alley is nicknamed, and you can feel the attachment of locals and visitors.
In recent years, alleys have been cracked down due to the construction of large buildings, etc., but this is the strength of Ginza! And there is an alley in the building. It's wonderful!
♪ Falconry of the Tokugawa family
The current Hamarikyu Onshi Garden was a falconry place for the Tokugawa family in the early Edo period. At that time, pigeons were used for piggybacks. Dobato is a bird that originally lived in rocky areas deep in the mountains of Africa.
It is said that what escaped during falconry and became wild is now a pigeon that is often found in parks and town corners. Nowadays, Dobato has become completely hated due to feces damage, etc., but in the past there was a time when he was active in newspaper companies. Yes, it's "Densho pigeon".
In 1893 (1893), the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun in Ginza succeeded in communicating with Densho pigeon for the first time in Japan. For the next 37 years, the pigeon has delivered us various news.
♪ The continuation of the song
Finally, I arrived at Ginza. There were many towns in Chuo-ku, and I sang again that they had a wonderful expression.
Well, the next time is finally the finale! This is the appearance of Edo Nihonbashi!
