Slow and simple, so it suits a first try in a new language. Add a line about spring where you grew up. Sing it a cappella, with claps or a drum, or on your own instrument. Modern recordings and arrangements are copyrighted, so please don't use them as a backing track.

Why it's safe to sing: Traditional Edo-period melody, published 1888. The traditional verse and melody are public domain.
