"海（海はひろいな大きなーーー）/ Sea (How wide and how endless)" accompaniment ♪ Takeshi Inoue ♪ chromatic harp
0In the book "101 Favorite Songs - Taught in Japanese Schools" (The Japan Times, Ltd. (1991)), there's a song called "海（海はひろいな大きなーーー）/ Sea (How wide and how endless)" in an arrangement by Takeshi Inoue. This is the piano accompaniment on its own, played on chromatic harp.
More about the chromatic harp in my video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AdRN2xSOG4 .
Sea photo on the title slide was made by me on the beach in Porto, Portugal.
Photos in this video made by me on the beach of Katwijk aan Zee, in the Netherlands.
The video of my harp I made in the Keep In Mind studio, owned by @kittyocean , so the drawings you see in the video are made by her.

Info about this song from the book:
Sea (1941)
This was found in the Textbook for the first year children. It was made in 3/4 time which was rare for the lower grade children. This song is about the wide, and dynamic movement of the sea and the children's desire to see the foreign countries beyond it.
For comparison, I used the exact same microphone to record a song with my lever harp in these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qPY7rN8XHE&list=PLg2mtqSFBT7lTm5wOkXGjzQ8wQZNOGZyc&index=7&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCfuH06nCaM&list=PLg2mtqSFBT7lTm5wOkXGjzQ8wQZNOGZyc&index=12&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SBzTWWmGbM&list=PLg2mtqSFBT7lTm5wOkXGjzQ8wQZNOGZyc&index=18&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB .

Note: I am just listing my recording equipment for informational purposes! I'm not affiliated with these companies in any way and I bought everything myself. When other people post videos of their recordings, I'm also always interested in how exactly they recorded it, which equipment they used, etc. It's because I wanted to know how I could best record the sound and other people might be looking for similar information.
