Famous German folk song | That Japanese tune was actually a German folk song?!

There are many kinds of folk songs around the world, but German folk songs are particularly famous for being catchy.

I think many people imagine folk music as something traditional and strict.

However, German folk songs don’t have that kind of atmosphere at all.

That’s because many well-known German folk songs are actually familiar in Japan as children’s songs.

You’ll probably find yourself thinking, “Wait, this was a German folk song?!”

Now then, please take your time and enjoy German folk music!
