From the cities and villages, the voice of the people isn't heard anymore.
Old songs are disappearing at the same speed as nature, the fish,
the insects and the animals. I want to bring them back in song,
in a natural voice. This CD is a collection of children's songs,
and it contains all the elements of music.
It is the first step towards creating a 'Mother Goose' of Japan.

(Harue Momoyama)

'The Ryuko Gakusha' Label

Originality is important but it has to be universal.
Creativity has to be with a basis.
That creativity has to be so human that it accepts everyone.

With that in mind was the 'The Ryuko Gakusha' Label created. Universal interaction is everything in this modern society. Information bombards us from all sides, And we mistake it for our freedom. Schools and colleges give us very limited music education, Giving us a warped perception of music. Traditional ethnic music is forgotten and folk music has lost its past glory. People are only interested in music that has been commercialized. The world of Japanese music has become Westernised to a point that is not seen elsewhere in the world. In order to mend matters even a little, this site intends to introduce the best music from all over the world and to present the creative powers of Toshi Tsuchitori and Harue Momoyama.
