Jingle|ottotto [CLAP]

ottotto [CLAP] Image

illust:ARIKAWA Ruriko

The song played at the opening and closing of a podcast is called a "jingle." This jingle is a performance of "CLAP" by "ottotto," a sextet of members of the "otto & orabu" performance group at Shobu Gakuen in Kagoshima City.

Otto & orabu is a 30-member "super amateur group" whose concept is "uneven, good feeling sounds" played on ethnic instruments by Shobu Gakuen staff and members. The song "ottotto" was especially created for the special session "Discovery of Sound from Nowhere," a related event of the exhibition Open to Surprises.
"CLAP," derives from a hand-clapping session originally performed at the song’s end by the chorus group, "orabu" ("shout" in Kagoshima dialect).

While the jingle does not feature any clapping, its good-feeling sounds and rhythm make hard not to clap along and give a spirited opening and closing to the podcast. Please give "ottotto" a listen.
