Kuchi shōga

Kuchi shōga (口唱歌), also known as kuchi showa or kuchi shoka, is an educational musical notation for traditional Japanese drums, particularly the taiko and the tsuzumi.

Kuchi shōga phoneticizes (that is, phonetically articulates) drum strokes using Japanese sound symbolism. Each syllable conveys information about how the drummer is to play a particular note.

Kuchi shōga notation is written in katakana, a syllabary familiar to all literate Japanese language speakers. Kuchi shōga can be transliterated from katakana to a Latin alphabet using one of the various systems of rōmaji.

Common phoneticizations

Although kuchi shōga does not have a fixed vocabulary, some phoneticizations are ubiquitous. Don typically means a deep, sustained sound from the center of the taiko. Do sometimes represents a short beat that is not allowed to resonate (i.e., one with a short decay). Doko, dogo, or doro means two drum-beats played in rapid succession. Tsu represents a lightly struck note; tsuku implies two soft tsu beats in rapid succession—one on the right side of the drum, the other on the left. Ka means a sharp tap on the rim of the taiko, and kara describes alternate right and left taps.

Your Love

by: Cash Cash

Spot in the crowd, singin' loud
I'd see her always hangin' around
Always hangin' around
Night after night, traffic light
She's probably let me but I acted polite,
acted polite
Because time's in my way,
But there's a chance for us today
So, wrap me up in your love girl, yeah
Just wrap me up in your love, oh
I can't stop it, no I can't make you stay
And wrap me up in your love
You did what you did, then you hid
But you still can't be hangin', hangin' around
Turn me up-side down
You did what you did, then you hid
And now I never see you hangin' around, hangin around
Spot in the crowd, singin' loud
It's kinda lonely
Haven't seen you around, haven't seen you around
Night after night, traffic light
Well she'd still let me
But she's outta my sign, outta my sight
Her eyes keep lookin' away,
like there's nothin' left to say
So, wrap me up in your love girl, yeah
Just wrap me up in your love, oh
I can't stop it, no I can't make you stay
And wrap me up in your love
Wrap me up in your love girl
Just wrap me up in your love, oh
I can't stop it, no I can't make you stay
And wrap me up in your love
(Wrap me up in your love) [x5]
Biggest regret I'll ever have
Was hating myself, one check I could've cashed
And now I stand here waiting
Ready to make this work
Wrap me up in your love girl, yeah
Just wrap me up in your love, yeah
I can't stop it, no I can't make you stay
And wrap me up in your love
Wrap me up in your love girl
(Wrap me in up in your love)
Just wrap me up in your love
(Wrap me up in your love)
I can't stop it, no I can't make you stay
And wrap me up in your love
