Hotaru Koi (Come, Fireflies）[Miyazaki Prefecture] 48"」、十九頁に「3．Hotaru Koi (Come, Fireflies）」「This, too, is a firefly catching song, and almost identical with the two above.」「The song recorded here is sung by primary school children in Saito City in Miyazaki Prefecture, situated in the eastern part of Kyushu, Japan's southernmost major island. The area faces the Pacific Ocean, and is a heavily wooded one.」「The words of the song go something like this: "Come, fireflies. The girl who is going to be the bride of the firefly does not need a lantern, does she？ So, fireflies, come straight towards the light you see here."」「Since the area around Saito City is thick with trees，forestry is its major industry; and there are large numbers of fireflies, which the people still enjoy catching in the evenings in summer．」と記載。[雑資料「JAPANESE NURSERY & CHILDREN'S SONGS」十八頁に蛍狩りの絵図あり。]
