Now we’re in the threat of Covid19 worldwide. In this channel, I have been trying to play world national anthems on Tremolo Harmonica, to express our highest respect to the athlete participating 2020TOKYO Olympic games and welcome our guests from all over the world.
But it is very pity to say IOC and Japanese government have decided to postpone 2020TOKYO Olympic games, scheduled to be opened on 24th July, 2020.
Still it is “postponed”, and not ”Cancelled”, so I will try this “National Anthem Project on Tremolo Harmonica”, until we can hold the 2020 TOKYO Olympic games without any problem and barriers.
The 30th song is Israel National Anthem called “התקווה Hatikvah” in Hebrew, which means “Hope”.
Its lyrics were originally written in 1878, and melody is derived from Moldavia folksong.
Later this song is enacted officially as the National Anthem of Israel in 1948, just the year when State of Israel established.
Played by Japanese NO.1 female Tremolo Harmonica Player, Yuko Yanagawa.
