大海を行く船は舵取りに頼る - Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman (Japanese Version)

One of China’s most famous revolutionary songs performed in the Japanese language. This version was performed by Mitsuko Ogasawara, a Japanese Maoist singer, and the Japanese Chamber Choir. Something interesting to note is that they pronounce “共産党“ the Chinese way, “gongchandang“ (or an approximation of it), rather than the Japanese way, “kyousantou“. Digitised by me from a record containing “The East Is Red“ and “Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman“ in Japanese.
