Kyouto mood

I can't get this song out of my head!

まる たけ えびす に おし おいけ
あね さん ろっかく たこ にしき
し あや ぶっ たか まつ まん ごじょう
せった ちゃらちゃら うおのたな
ろくじょう ひっちょう とおりすぎ
はちじょうこえれば とうじみち
くじょうおおじで とどめさす



Romaji:

maru take ebisu ni oshi oike

ane san rokkaku tako nishiki
shi aya butu taka matsu man gojyo
setta cyaracyara uonotana
rokujyo santetsu toorisugi
hiccyoukoereba hati kujyou
jyujyoutoujide totomesasu

Anyone familiar with this?
It is the song that all kyouto children know. It counts kyouto streets in order, so it is said that if you know this song you wont lose your way in kyouto.

Speaking about kyouto, i recommend watching detective conan movie#7 "The cross road of the old capital" because it is full of places and information about kyouto.



A scene from the movie where a young girl sings the streets song

For me, i watched it near 1 year ago and when i came back from Japan i watched it again,i enjoyed it MUCH more in the second time...because it is really fun to see places in Anime that you've actually been to!^^
Also it is good to watch it if you want to know how to sing the above song!

......it is still there in my head!(O_o)

(^_^) yea very much. I first knew this song from the movie one year ago or alittle more. I didn't have the lyrics at that time, until i asked some the people from kyouto who were with us to write me the lyrics ^^ they were surprised i knew this song;p when it comes to Japan, i don't miss even the smallest details(^o^)
