You mean "Festival". I asked my Japanese what does Tsuguru means. She said probably a name of a man.

Tsugaru is the name of the guitar-like Japanese instrument that's played in the song.
There's a little description of it here, and a picture of some people playing them here (notice how they kinda look like the things the guys in the song background are holding).

Tsugaru is a guitar-like thingy played in that song. It's like hundreds of years old and usually is accompannied by the Taiko drum (Excerpt from my report on Japaneese music)
Matsuri is festival in japaneese
and in case anyone cares Kamueki means Revolution

The instrument in Tsugaru is a shamisen, not a tsugaru. Tsugaru is a specific genre of shamisen music that uses a lot of improv and comparable to jazz, the same type of music used in the song Tsugaru.
In case anyone cares, the word tsugaru comes from the district in the western half of the Aomori prefecture in which the tsugaru genre originated. |

Okay, I must be the only one who actually types in good grammer and spelling. I thought that the thing the guy on the right is holding was some sort of weapon, because it sort of looks like a weapon.
There, see? No grammer mistakes or anything!

For starters, you loose too. "Grammar" is the correct spelling, and yours isn't all that great either.
Secund, dis iz teh internet...u dont hav to spel nethin rite.
Finally (most relevant of all) this isn't english spelling--it's roomaji, which is actually easier to spell than English. There are 46 basic sounds in Japanese each with it's own character (not including iteration, katakana and the "Y" combinations). Each sound is 99.9% of the time spelled the exact same way in roomaji form (Japanese written with roman characters). Also, Japanese sylables NEVER end in a consonant, with the exception of "n" which is iself its own sylablle.
Ma-tsu-ri
Tsu-ga-ru (tsu-ka"-ru)
Ka-ku-me-i
Da-i-ke-n-ka-i (ta"-i-ke-n-ka-i)
Na-o-ki
Ko-na-mi
ro-o-ma-ji (ro-u-ma-shi")
BTW, anyone with the patence can teach themselves. There are plenty of free online Japanese lessons out there.

Uh, no.
Daikenkai is Big Opinion, though the exchange student from Japan says she never has heard the word.
Someone said
Dai: Big
Kenkai: Opinion
No.
Daiken: Opinon, roughly translated, the exchange student said option.
Kai: Great, Big or large.
