Here presented is a popular song melody played by taishogoto and shamisen. The song came into vogue in 1930's. I t is based on a very popular Bunraku puppet drama titled "Shimpan Utazaimon" (1780) in which dramatized is a love romance between a merchant's daughter and a shop- boy. So, the melody is not quite modern. It has something traditional, of folk- songs, or something that suggests the atmosphere of Edo Period (1600c.-1868), the period before the Meiji Restoration). Such a melody represents one of the types of the hit songs in Japan still today. In this recording, accompanied by a small orchestra of Western instruments, the taisho- goto and the shamisen repeat the melody three times: the first and the third time by the taisho-goto and the second by the shamisen.
