re: #234 Barefoot Grin

The “saraba” reference reminding me of this great song sung by Tanimura Shinji the chorus of which ends “saraba, Subaru-yo” (the constellation, not the car).

Interesting:

Subaru (Tanimura Shinji’s song)

And this may explain the context you mentioned regarding the previous song (From Google Translate)

“it closely resembles ” Kato Hayabus Battle Corps Military Song “”

Which has me thinking about how certain subtexts reappear in new generations.

(And we are seeing a lot of that now, right here. In just this thread we discussed Neo-Confederates and the separation of Religion and Science.)
