 Kagome-Kagome (Japanese Children's play song)
.....
Methinks Kagome-Kagome is a bit scary children's song.
 
"Kagome-Kagome". "Higurashi" gives an approximate meaning of "sunset", "nightfall". (lil info about the game, "kagome-kagome") The players (usually 5 or more) form a circle by holding the hands of adjacent players side by side, except for one player who squats at the center of the circle, covering his closed eyes with his hands. The players forming the circle then start to move, rotating around the center, while singing the following song together: Kagome Kagome, Kago no naka no tori wa, Itsu itsu deyaru? Yoake to ban ni. Tsuru to kame ga subetta, Ushiro no shoumen dare? which translates to: Kagome, Kagome, When does the bird inside the cage comes out? At dawns and evenings. Who is in front of the back where a crane and turtle slipped and fell? When the song ends, the circle also stops moving. Then the player inside the circle says who is behind him. If his guess is correct, that player can join the circle, exchanging the role with the one behind him. And the process is repeated... (info from http://www.wot-club.org.uk/)
