The song starts like the Keiko version

赤く咲くのは　けしの花
白く咲くのは　百合の花
どう咲らいゃいいのさ　この私
夢は夜ひらく

"Poppie flowers bloom red,
lily flowers bloom white,
I wonder how I should bloom.
The dream opens at night"

But then it's Mikami's lyrics, and they are grim realism:

八百屋の裏で泣いていた
子供背負った泥棒よ
キャベツひとつ盗むのに
涙はいらないぜ

"I was crying in the back of the grocery store.
A thief with a child on his back.
Even though I only stole a single cabbage.
I don't need tears"

And it gets worse. But it is a very powerful song.

I listened to this famous enka song called "Yume wa yoru hiraku" (夢は夜ひらく), "The dream opens at night", performed by also famous folk singer Kan Mikami and not yet famous Okinawa Electric Girl Saya.

This version is a combination of the lyrics of the hit version by Keiko Fuji and the lyrics Mikami wrote for his version in 1972, which was banned for its negative portrayal of Modern Japanese Culture.

An armed all-female ranger unit in Zimbabwe, the women have made it their job to save the wildlife for future generations while making a new life for themselves as well.

And here is the drawing. I used Conté pencils, Faber-Castell Graphite Aquarelle and Derwent Inktense on Arches 300 g/m² rough watercolour paper, 56 cm x 38 cm.

The portrait is based on a scene from the movie "Umimachi diary" ("Our little sister") by Hirokazu Kore-Eda. It is of the character Sachi, one of the sisters. This is the second portrait in a series of four, one for each character but that might take a while.

Somehow reminiscent of the Sisters of Mercy:

I made another delicious #vegan meal, this time a kind of curry with potatoes, chick peas, spinach and tomatoes. That doesn't do it justice because it's the spices that make the taste.

The recipe is on my blog:
