Drum song - Tsuzumiuta

Japanese: 鼓唄 - つづみうた

It is also found in Tokiwazu and Kiyomoto, but is mainly a term used in Nagauta. Originally, among Kabuki songs, songs sung only to the accompaniment of drums were called "kouta", but in Nagauta, it came to refer to only the parts of a song sung only to the beat of the drum without using the shamisen. Representative songs that use kouta include "Tokusakari", "Kumo Hyoshimai", and "Nanakusa".

Japanese:

常磐津，清元にもあるが，おもに長唄の用語。元来は歌舞伎歌のなかで，鼓の伴奏だけで歌うものを鼓唄と称していたが，長唄では一曲のなかで，三味線を用いずに鼓の拍子だけで歌う部分だけを称するようになった。鼓唄のある代表的な曲としては，『木賊刈 (とくさかり) 』『蜘蛛拍子舞』『娘七種 (ななくさ) 』などがある。
