The Year of the Horse

Y'know...I should have posted this one up right on New Year's Day almost a month ago, but then again, I was rather busy with family stuff on January 1st. But I digress. This year is once again the Year of the Horse; people who were born in that year are supposedly responsible, confident and agreeable.

As such, I'm not sure whether I can find any kayo kyoku that are responsible, confident and agreeable, but at least I can find some songs that have some sort of relationship to horses.

(1970) Salty Sugar -- Hashire Koutarou(走れコウタロー)


(1980) Yellow Magic Orchestra -- Rydeen (雷電)


(1988) Yuki Saito & Takao Kisugi -- ORACION - Inori (ORACION -祈り-)


(1996) Koji Tamaki -- Den'en (田園)

I realize that this last one may not have anything directly to do with horses, but dang it, the rhythms here just remind me so much of taking a running ride on a steed through the countryside!

  1. I noticed 马 the 簡体字 for 馬 in the first photo. As for the songs I knew and love 雷電 and 田園! The others were new to me.
