Kalimba Showa Songs and New Music

Description :

Through the fun arrangements for the kalimba, experience the nostalgic melodies of Japanese songs from the Showa songs and new music! This is the newest edition to the popular "Kalimba" series! This book contains 20 popular standard songs from the Showa era and new music genres (arranged with 17-note kalimba) with “melody + accompaniment” chord arrangements that sound gorgeous even when played alone. As with the previous editions, the sheet music for all songs includes not only the solfège in furigana (Do-Re-Mi written in Japanese), but also the numerical note names engraved on the kalimba so that you could play it easily along with your instrument. At the beginning of the book, you'll find a chart showing the correspondence between kalimba note names and the staff, along with simple musical rules and a basic guide on how to play the kalimba, so feel free to pick this book up even as a beginner! For those who feel they can’t grasp song melodies, or are having trouble creating chordal arrangements, this book is highly recommended for you! Popular for many generations, hit songs such as “Red Sweet Pea”, “Love Is Over” and “Momen No Handkerchief” have been included along with tracks covered by various artists, arranged carefully for the Kalimba! Just like other books in this series, the popular creators Aya/Kalimba Mint and Namakeru Yarukimono have provided us these arrangements for you to enjoy!
