A group of chants sung about the red bowl revolution that came down to Okinawa islands from Yamato (the main land of Japan) was described previously, and emphasized it contained the key subject to understand the ancient history of Japan, especially the formation process of genesis Yamato nation. I would describe here that the chants of the revolution was flowed into the "Omorosoushi" which was edited in the era of Ryukyu kingdom, although the old fixed-form phrases that existed in the old chants as described previously were disappeared. Although no one pays attention to these chants, appearance of the revolutionary phrase may mean that the revolution was one of the central thought in the Omorosousi. The other significance of these chants would be that they had widely spread in the Ryukyu Islands such as Miyako, Yaeyama archipelagos.
