What is ji-uchi?
Ji-uchi is the basic rhythm of the song.
The ji-uchi is struck like a metronome, and the song is played in
time with it.
Since the ji-uchi also plays a role in determining the expression
or tempo of the song (corresponding to the conductor of an
orchestra), it is an extremely important part.
