Nisshoku Natsuko, a singer-songwriter who plays the piano, has written a new song "Hyakumanri" for the theme song of "Iwakuji Yamagata Shorthorn Beef" raised in her hometown of Iwate Prefecture.
The song, which is said to have "converted a huge life force into sound and words", was actually produced by visiting the site, and the sound consists only of piano and drums. It is a finish that makes you feel the lightness of the heartbeat of those who have passed winter and waited for spring, and the strength to step on the earth and move forward.
You can listen to the music on the Iwakuji Yamagata Village Shorthorn Beef Fattening Committee website, and be sure to check it out along with the video shot by photographer Atsushi Okuyama.

▼Natsuko's comment on the solar eclipse
In May 2019, in order to create "Hyakumanri", I actually went to the plateau where tankaku cattle were pastured.

The sky is too close and too deep because of a small mountain.
No matter how far you look around 360 degrees, the horizon of green grass never ends.
When I crouched there and closed my eyes, I could feel the vibrations of the cows running across the grassland, the snorts that seemed to blow them away, the gazes that were staring at me, and many other signs.

The huge life force that I felt from those cows was converted into sounds and words and put together into one song.
If you close your eyes and listen, you will surely be standing on that plateau at that moment.
