История (Takahashi Yujiro):
| "Song of Yasaburo". In 1808 Yasaburo took a bride, but his parents treated her horribly - as often happens: a new bride is an outsider to be bent to her new family's will. In this case, his bride fled within a year, and villagers produced this song criticizing the family. The song takes the form of a traditional counting song, with puns on the numbers. One: In Kizukuri Newfields, off in a corner of Shimo-Aino Village is Yasaburo's house. Two: Asking a few people for help, he got a bride from Mankuro of Obiraki. Three: This bride brought the Three Objects [dowry] - Four: She weeded the fields morning and night, but when she came home late, she was scolded. Five: Scolded, picked on, scowled at - and denied her three meals a day. (Six: Used harshly by unreasonable parents-in-law - blood flowed from her ten fingers. Seven: No matter how hard she worked, the wouldn't rub soothing oil on her. Eight: The sun doesn't shine on Yasaburo's house, yet it even shines in Mogawa Forest.) Nine: All the parents here are devils; all the brides who come here are fools. |

This is sung in the Aomori Prefecture, at the eastern end of the Japanese mainland. It is a counting song ranging from No. 1 to No. 12, and it tells about how the mother of a man called Yasaburo bullied his wife. In spite of the gloominess of the words the melody is cheerful.
