Suzumeno Tears

Is Minyo dead? Or still alive? As long as you immerse yourself in commercial J-pop or the underground alternative music scenes of Tokyo and other big cities, Minyo rarely reveals itself. But venture into the traditional festivities of Obon or the seasonal festivals in all the country. You'll still hear Minyo rooted in the land. Suzumeno Tears is born from one such resilient tradition: Goshu Ondo, a festival music originating from Kansai region.
