Matsuken Samba II (マツケンサンバII) is one of a song series named ''Matsuken Samba'' performed by a Japanese taiga drama actor and singer Ken Matsudaira who is popular in Japan. == Overview == The song was made in 1994 and is performed in theaters since then. He sings the song in an appearance of a person in Edo period with florid golden kimono, dancing with steps of samba and hip swaying, and with many male and female backup dancers around also in figures of the period. Because he plays a serious ''shogun'' as an actor on television in the first place and had been performing the song only in theaters, the performance amazed people who did not know it upon being introduced on television in 2004. The song became the best hit in the ''Matsuken Samba'' series. All songs of the series combine traditional-style Japanese vocals with a slight Latino flair from the Brazilian samba music and the inclusion of several Brazilian Portuguese words and phrases in the lyrics, although Matsuken Samba II has a word "bongo" which is a musical instrument not used in samba. The performances of the songs have a very glitzy, showy production value trademarked by his glittery appearance. The ''Matsuken'' in the title is a shortened version of the singer's name, a combination of ''Matsu'' from Matsudaira and his stage name ''Ken''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matsuken Samba II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
