"海（松原遠くーーー）/ Sea (Where rows of pine trees)" accompaniment on its own, played on chromatic harp
0In the book "101 Favorite Songs - Taught in Japanese Schools" (The Japan Times, Ltd. (1991)), there's a song called "海（松原遠くーーー）/ Sea (Where rows of pine trees)" (by Anonymous). I'm playing the accompaniment as if it were its own song.
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 in Ise (Mie prefecture, Japan) at the Meoto-iwa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meoto_Iwa
In the beginning there's a video of my chromatic harp, which I filmed in the Keep In Mind studio (drawings you can see there, are made by @kittyocean ).

Info about this song from the book:
Sea (1913)
This was compiled in the Textbook for the fifth year children. It portrays the sea and its seashore. The first stanza describes the scene in the daytime, and the second stanza the scene at nnighttime. Since published, it has been widely sung by both school children and adults.
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.
