It is really beautiful, but extremely sad… I prefer the previous one.

My good Baby Sleep!
Where did my boy’s baby-sitter go?
Beyond that mountain back to her home.
As a souvenir from her home what did you get?
A toy drum and a shoo flute
ok random question, but why do they put the kana on top of the kanji? instead wouldnt it just be easier to use the kana instead in the first place?
@anime1lvr The reason for the furigana is to explain what the kanji is for someone who may not know it yet. the reason for the kanji is there are a lot of words that sound exactly the same but the kanji will tell you what the word is supposed to be. For example hoshi means both chopsticks and bridge but the kanji for both words are different. Hope that helps!
@ladysevsnape ok, thanks. i knew it was something like that!
lol
NAME OF SONG!!!
i wish i was born Japanese
@anime1lvr so that the students, both the foreign and themselves can learn the kanji by relating the sound to it. Some kanji are really difficult to learn/read, and even Japanese newspapers and magazines sometimes use it. It’s called furigana.
I was just surfing for some relaxing music, found this, and now I’ve got some watery eyes, gosh.
@kitsunegyrl15 me too
