Come on out, Amaterasu — AI song by @To4kawa

https://budgetpixel.com/blog/fairytalefolklore-imagevideosong-challenge-march-20-26-2026 Sunday: Japan: Kojiki – Luring the Sun Goddess Out of the Cave This piece is based on the Japanese creation myth from the Kojiki, where Amaterasu, the sun goddess, hides herself inside a cave after being upset by her brother Susanoo. With the sun gone, the world falls into darkness, so the other gods gather in front of the sealed heavenly rock cave. They play drums and flutes, dance like at a wild festival, and laugh loudly to make Amaterasu curious enough to look outside. In my image, the foreground focuses on the noisy, joyful chaos of the gods’ celebration, while the glowing silhouette in the cave entrance hints at Amaterasu beginning to peek out, just before light returns to the world. ​ ​

Lyrics — “Come on out, Amaterasu” by @To4kawa

[Inst] (Japanese Festival call and response, chant, Taiko rumble driving) [Intro, call out] ひらけ　ひらけ　あまのいわと 出ておいで　ひのおおみかみ [Verse] ドン　ドン　ドンと　たいこが鳴れば 闇の山々　ゆらぐ影 笛がヒュルリ　笑い声はねて 神々騒げば　星が踊る [Solo] 出てらっしゃい　あまてらすさま 見てらっしゃい　この宴 朝日を待って　火の粉が舞えば 世界の闇も　笑い飛ばせ [Break] ソレソレソレソレ　ドンチキドン 天の岩戸よ　今　ひらけ [Build Up] Open, open, heavenly rock cave Come on out, great goddess of the sun [Verse] Drums go boom–boom–boom in the midnight hills Shadows on the mountains start to shake Flutes cry high as the laughter rises Every dancing god makes the starlight wake [Chorus] Come on out, Amaterasu Take a look at this wild parade We toss our sparks into the darkness Till even the night begins to fade [Outro chant] Hey, hey, hey, let the drumbeat roll Heavenly rock cave, now unfold
