Eating nagashi somen is fun. Water flows down a bamboo half-pipe and carries somen noodles past you, which you pick up, dip in sauce, and eat. For the past several years, I've thought about how to make a nagashi somen water slide at home. Here's my idea.
"Drop Baby Drop" is actually about mangoes, but it felt right for this video. Hope you like my rendition!
I "borrowed" a few seconds from a nagashi somen video by TabiEats in order to show what a real nagashi somen slide is like. Please check out their fine videos about food in Japan! Great series...

![Long Time to Be Alone (New Colony Six) ukulele rendition
New Colony Six was probably best known in Hawaii for their 1968 hit, I Will Always Think About You. I really loved this 1971 release. Hope you like my rendition.
[F] When I saw you [Am7] yesterday
It [Gm] started all a[C7]gain
The [Bb] hurt that I had [C7] left behind
has [F] caught up once again
Everyones in [Fmaj7] love
But [Gm7] love can bring you [C7] down
If [Bb] no one wants the [C7] love you have to [F] give
[F] Love means more than [C] life to me
and Id [Gm] love to have you [C7] back
[F] Stopped and laughed at [C] things we did
The [Bb] laughter makes me [C] sad
Its a [Bb] long, [F] long, [Gm] time
[C7] To be a[Bb]lone [ F Gm C7 ]
To be a[F]lone [ Fmaj7 Gm C7 Bb C7 F Gm-C7 ]
Do [F] you remember [Am7] asking me,
“[Gm] Wont you stay a [C7] while?”
[Bb] When I said “for[C7]ever” that made you [F] smile
I look for that [Fmaj7] smile
on [Gm7] every face I [C7] see
But [Bb] smiles dont mean a [C7] thing
if theyre not for [F] me
[F] Love means more than [C] life to me
and Id [Gm] love to have you [C7] back
[F] Stopped and laughed at [C] things we did
The [Bb] laughter makes me [C] sad
Its a [Bb] long, [F] long, [Gm] time
[C7] to be a[Bb]lone [ F Gm C7 ]
To be a[Bb]lone [ F Gm C7 ]

![Love, Look Away (from Flower Drum Song) ukulele rendition
The third song in this beer can series is from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Flower Drum Song. I love this musical and this is the fourth song from this musical that Ive tried. Such a sad song of unrequited love.
[Bbmaj7] I have wished be[Cm7]fore
[Bbmaj7] I will wish no [Cm7] more [F7]
[Bbmaj7] Love, look away
[Cm7] Love, look away from [Dm7] me
[Eb°] Fly, when you pass my [Gm] door
[Cm7] Fly and get lost at [Bb°] sea
[Bbmaj7] Call it a day,
[Cm7] Love, let us say were [Dm7] through
[Eb°] No good are you for [Gm] me
[Cm7] No good am I for [Bb] you
[Cm7] Wanting you so, I [Bb] try too much
[Cm7] After you go, I [Gm7] cry too [Bbmaj7] much [ Cm7 F7 ]
[Bbmaj7] Love, look away
[Cm7] lonely though I may [Dm7] be
[Eb°] Leave me and set me [Gm] free [Ebm6]
Look a[Bb]way, look a[Bbmaj7]way, look a[Cm7]way

![Koi no Yokan (Anzen Chitai ukulele rendition) 恋の予感
This is one of my favorite Japanese songs that I tried to cover a long time ago. Just moving this video over from my uketoob channel to this one. Im not fluent in Japanese, so I hope I didnt sing this one too badly, but as usual, when I like a song, Im willing to give it a try. Found this explanation of the meaning of the title on Google: Koi No Yokan (Japanese): The sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall into love. This is different than “love at first sight,” since it implies that you might have a sense of imminent love, somewhere down the road, without yet feeling it.
