North Korean Versions of the Japanese Songs


Karaoke is well known everywhere in the world. I have my own Karaoke I take with me wherever I go. Even in North Korea, they enjoy North Korean versions of the Japanese songs with Karaoke.

A song titled "Aoi Sanmyaku=Blue Mountains" was quite popular among the Japanese nationals during the occupation period. The song was first introduced in the famous movie "Blue Mountains" http://bit.ly/5HmLkx in which a greater emphasis was placed on the significance of Democracy. I just don'know how much the North Koreans understand why the song was composed in 1949.

A song titled "Kitaguni no Haru=Spring in North" Its original version http://bit.ly/9zlTjc by Mr. Masao Sen.

A song titled "Tugaru Kaikyou Fuyugeshiki=Winter at Tsugaru Strait". Its original version http://bit.ly/ArTpN by Ms. Sayuri Ishikawa.
Korean language lacks voiced consonants of the Japanese language. North Koreans singing those Japanese songs sound pretty much like how the Japanese people sing them.
