For this musical trip, I chose to explore the beautiful country of Japan. This was an incredibly easy choice because Japan has been on the top of my bucket list visits since forever.                                     The Last Rose of Summer - Tokiko Kimura- 2020- Japan To   https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=P6YV76CnsKM   Upon first listening to this clip of  Tokiko Kimura performing, the first word that came to mind was  unique.
