GACKT[edit]

I'm taking the year out of the entry for GACKT because I know it wasn't 1992. I've seen the video of the performance mentioned, and the style and dress looks more recent. It's from a show called "Bokura no Ongaku". Anyone know what year that was? Echo5Joker 窶捻receding comment was added at 22:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed content[edit]

A contributer alleges that the song is supposedly about "atrocities inflicted by the Japanese army upon the Okinawan people" according to secret hidden meanings in the lyric. It is not clear who's interpretation this is, and there is no reference given which raises questions regarding potential problems with notability and original research. The content was added here and removed here. 窶納[User:Tokek|Tokek]] 12:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I have read that the song refers to WWII, whether the atrocities by Japan or the attack by the US isn't clear. However, it is a widely-held belief that this song is about the horrors of war. Berkeleysappho (talk) 02:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Longer a Stub![edit]

I have expanded this article and included citations. The songwriter says it is about the atrocities during WWII. This is possibly the most popular song to come out of the Okinawan tradition.Berkeleysappho (talk) 05:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cardcaptor Sakura[edit]

Shimauta was never a theme song, either opening or closing for any of the seasons of Cardcaptor Sakura. Perhaps the person who wrote that could show their source? Was it this: [1]? Mine is Anime News Network's Anime Encyclopedia entry on CCS [2]:

Opening Theme:

  1. 1: "Catch You Catch Me" by Gumi (eps 1-35)
  2. 2: "Tobira wo Akete" by ANZA (eps 36-46)
  3. 3: "Platinum" by Maaya Sakamoto (eps 47-70)

Ending Theme:

  1. 1: "Groovy!" by Koumi Hirose (eps 1-35)
  2. 2: "Honey" by Chihiro (eps 36-46)
  3. 3: "Fruits Candy" by Megumi Kojima (eps 47-69)
  4. 4: "Platinum" by Maaya Sakamoto (ep 70) 窶捻receding unsigned comment added by 210.157.95.2 (talk) 11:40, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It was included on the official FIFA album" ?[edit]

It's not listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Official_Album_of_the_2002_FIFA_World_Cup , so is it true? 窶捻receding unsigned comment added by 190.246.204.87 (talk) 05:38, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Amami[edit]

The following sentece, added by ACSE (talk · contribs)[3], is highly problematic:

Although the title ''Shima Uta'' which is originally a term for traditional music from the [[Amami Islands]], the term ''Shima Uta'' is currently used for traditional music from the [[Ryukyu Islands]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sponichi.co.jp/presentation/etb/index.html|title=Minami Kizuki|language={{ja icon}}|publisher=[[Sports Nippon]]|date=2010-01-25}}</ref>

Apart from the fact that s/he cited Sponichi Annex(!), there is no such concept as "traditional music from the Ryukyu Islands." The article cited is accurate in that the concept of Ryūkyū min'yō does not cover Amami shotō no min'yō. --Nanshu (talk) 23:30, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
