BEGINs Uta San-Shin at Mac App Store analyse

"BEGINs Uta San-Shin," is an application for everyone to enjoy easily playing songs with the Okinawan band, BEGIN, on the Okinawan instrument, the San-Shin. Because the San-Shin is fretless, if the player doesnt press the stings at exactly the right place, beautiful melodies wont emerge from the instrument. The right positions are known as, "Kan-Dokoro." These, "Kan-Dokoro," are shown through a score of Chinese characters known as, "Kun-Kun-Shi," which is displayed on the left side of the app to allow the player to easily master the basics of the game. In Free-Play mode, while pressing the Kan-Dokoro and stroking the tap area, the user can experience the feel of truly playing the San-Shin with this app. Furthermore, in Singing-San-Shin mode, along with the Kan-Dokoro appear original Japanese lyrics, so the player can sing while playing! Because the tempo and key can be adjusted to the players level, everyone can eventually master the San-Shin. When the player can stroke at the same speed as the members of BEGIN, theyve become a master! Additionally in the, "Ai no Te," corner, BEGINs music includes both, "Ai no Te," and, "Yubi-Bue," indispensable parts of Okinawan music. Press, swing, and rock out! For all lovers of Okinawa, this is an app for anyone to enjoy learning the San-Shin, or just having a great time while drinking with friends. *All sampling was performed by BEGIN.
