Japanese Waltz Medley Four Japanese Waltzes as arranged by Masao Koga (print w/ Courier 10 font) Masao Koga was a post World War II guitarist/koto player who arranged Japanese folk tunes for guitar and orchestra. Below are three 3/4 time tunes pulled from the book, "Masterworks of Masao Koga." I don't know which, if any, he wrote himself. I have them in ascending key order so they can be medleyized. I repeat the first tune since it's my favorite. ho= hammer-on; po = pull-off ___ | -| = dotted 8th, 16th notes. 1. Otoko No Junjou (A Devoted Man's Unrequited Love) I put in repeats to make everything last longer. I also changed some chords.
