Tink Tink - Hoshi no Sekai

Time for some more music from Okinawa. Tink Tink is a band where the 2 lead singers like to dress up in traditional Okinawan clothes and perform songs which have been heavily influenced by the traditional lyrics and melodies they heard as kids growing up on the islands. They also like to include some Okinawan dancing but unfortunately you don't get to see much of that in this clip which is probably their most famous track outside of Okinawa (which also has been changed slightly for a broader Japanese audience, it features less Okinawan pronunciations and other cultural differences). There's actually a third guy but for some reason he almost never gets any screen time, poor guy. They are fairly famous in Okinawa having appeared in a series of TV ads but they're not so well known in the rest of Japan. I've been lucky enough to have been able to catch Tink Tink perform live both of the times I've been to Okinawa. They are both are as cute and as bubbly as they appear on youtube.
