Update: rewriting kunkunshi
I’ve been making regular updates to the site, but the kunkunshi section is one that hasn’t seen much action. The last edit I made was this:
*edit: 08/11/22 I’ve decided to only upload kunkunshi I’ve personally redrawn/rewrote to avoid possible trouble with copyrights. Although I don’t imagine there to be many problems because most Okinawan songs are shared folk songs, I figure that I should choose to err on the safe side.I got an e-mail from someone saying they’d like to share their kunkunshi with me, but they were worried about possible copyright repercussions. At first I didn’t really care, or didn’t want to care because of a belief that no one should be able to “own” kunkunshi, but I decided it best not to take my chances. Anyways, I was finally able to make this update to the lonely kunkunshi section:
*edit: 08/12/04 It’s been some time, but I’ve managed to finish one piece of music! It took a while because I had to redraw/rewrite it—see the above note for why—onto my computer using Photoshop. Anyways, now that I’ve got the basic layers and such down in Photoshop, I’ll be able to upload more kunkunshi more easily. (I think.)
