Singing Exercise - Singing Exercise

Japanese: うたごえ運動 - うたごえうんどう
Singing Exercise - Singing Exercise
A postwar Japanese music culture movement on par with the Labor Union Music Association. It was started in 1948 by the Central Choir, led by Seki Akiko (1899-1973), with the aim of linking life with music. The movement spread nationwide through interactions between workplaces, schools and local communities. In 1953, the National Choir Conference was founded with the slogan "Singing is the power of peace," and in 1954 it developed into the "Japanese Singing" movement, linking with the anti-atomic bomb movement. The movement reached its peak in the early 1960s, but then declined with the decline of mass movements.

労音とならぶ戦後日本の音楽文化運動。1948年,生活と音楽とを結び付けることを目的として,関鑑子(あきこ)(1899‐1973)をリーダーとする中央合唱団によって始められた。運動は職場,学校と地域とが交流する形で全国的に広がった。53年には〈うたごえは平和の力〉のスローガンを掲げて,全国合唱団会議を創設,54年には原爆禁止運動と結び付いて〈日本のうたごえ〉運動として発展した。運動は60年代前半に最盛期を迎えたが,その後大衆運動の落に伴って衰退した。
