This is a mixed a cappella quintet arrangement of the Japanese traditional song to celebrate the star festival on July 7th, Tanabata.
Tanabata, has been celebrated for hundreds of years in Japan on July 7th, the one day a year that the two lovers in the famous Tanabata myth can cross the Milky Way to meet.
Below is the lyric translation;
The bamboo leaves rustle,
And sway under the eaves.
The stars twinkle
Like gold and silver grains of sand.
The five-color paper strips
I have written them.
The stars twinkle,
Watching from above.
