Celebration song (celebration song) - Iwaiuta

Japanese: 祝歌(祝唄) - いわいうた
Celebration song (celebration song) - Iwaiuta
These songs are sung with feelings of blessing, and make up a large proportion of Japanese folk songs. They are also called celebratory songs. They are sung on New Year's Day, the first and last days of work, harvest celebrations, weddings, housewarmings, etc. In Japan, there has long been a belief that if you put your wishes into words and sing them, the power of the words' inherent spiritual power will make the results you wish for come true, and this belief is at the root of the singing of celebratory songs. There are certain types of lyrics for celebratory songs, and they are almost the same throughout the country.

Japanese:
祝福の気持ちをこめてうたう歌で,日本の民謡の中に大きな部分を占めている。祝儀歌(唄)ともいう。うたわれる機会は,正月,作業始め,作業納め,収穫祝い,婚礼,新築祝いなどである。日本には昔から,かくあれかしと望むことをことばにして発唱すると,そのことばに内在する言霊(ことだま)の力でことばどおりの結果が実現するという信仰があり,それが祝歌のうたわれる根本にある。祝福の歌詞には類型があり,ほとんど全国的に共通している。
