is a genre of songs originating from the Amami Islands, Kagoshima Prefecture of southwestern Japan. It became known nationwide in the 2000s with the success of young pop singers from Amami Ōshima such as Hajime Chitose and Atari Kōsuke. == Names and concepts == Although shima-uta is often considered to represent Amami's musical tradition, it is just one of various music genres. Amami's traditional songs can be classified into three categories: # ''kami-uta'' (religious songs sung by priestesses) including ''omori'', ''tahabë'' and ''kuchi'', # ''warabe-uta'' (children's songs), and # ''min'yo'' (folk songs). Amami's ''min'yo'' is further divided into three genres: # ''gyōji-uta'' (songs for annual events) including songs for ''hachigatsu-odori'', # ''shigoto-uta'' (work songs), associated with rice planting, sailing, etc., and # ''asobi-uta'', which are sung at recreational gatherings. In a narrower sense, shima-uta refers to ''asobi-uta'' and is also known as ''sanshin-uta'', ''zashiki-uta'' (lit. room songs) and ''nagusami-uta'' (lit. comforting songs). In a broader sense, shima-uta also covers ''gyōji-uta'' and ''shigoto-uta''. 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「shimauta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
