Show notes

Japanese people call the loud cicada sound “Tsukutsukubōshi,” because that’s what it sounds like they’re singing. Don’t you think so when you try saying it out loud quickly? This recording was made in Niigata, a region in Japan famous for its rice production. The area also has a thriving garment industry, with factories scattered among the rice fields. If you listen closely, you can hear distant sounds of cars and trains. After a gentle breeze passes, you may even hear the siren of an ambulance. Recorded by Miyu Hosoi.
