This is a charming setting of an equally charming Japanese love story called Tanabata (Star Festival). Simple Japanese lyrics provide the refrain and are later paired with an original melody for the familiar Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star text. A delightful accompaniment includes an optional recorder and classroom percussion instruments, adding to a very appealing multicultural presentation. A pronunciation guide and translation for the Japanese are included, along with interesting information about Tanabata.
