02. Chûgoku Chihô no Komori-uta (Lullaby from the Chûgoku Area) (2:06)

I first encountered it when parts were aired on an episode of Music from the Hearts of Space back in 1984.  Fell in love.  Had to possess the beloved.  And so on.


Enoy the languid, urgent music of (one interpretation of) Japan.
