Hifumi Hachigaeshi question
Hello,
Just a quick and I asume a simple question.
I'm trying to learn Hifumi Hachigaeshi with the score and listerning to Yamaguchi Goro's version and I have a question about one note that its not in the score. When the song moves to kan (starting with an u then a hi...) after the drilling noise you are supposed to make with the thumb (oh my God, I cannot believe I'm refering to that in those terms...) he plays a hi preceded by which note? Is it a chi or a u? I'm not that good with pitches (like if it's not obvious..) and I'm not sure. Besides his notes and mine are so different that I just cannot be completely sure.
That preceded note keeps on being repeated almost everytime he plays that hi in a similar fashion. Maybe it's not that important as I guess it's not played by every player but since it's the only recording I have I prefer to stick to something
Thanks!
Alex

It is a usual kinko ornamentation
it's san-no-u (hole three open), just like those "u"s in previous phrases
gambate!

Pitch is Bb. Head up.

Hey!
Thanks Marek for the note and Tairaku for the head tip! Now it all makes sense!
Gracias!

Re: Hifumi Hachigaeshi question
On most flutes, head very up (hmm, wondering about my English), and blow strong. This note tends to be flat. I struggle to get it up to pitch. YMMV of course.
This note is something of a screamer, it's same pitch but a quite different feel than Hi no meri.
It's prominent at the beginning of "Kumoi Jishi" and appears several times in Fukuda Rando's "Tabibito no Uta"
