How the jump rope got its rhythm  (transcript)
Summary
OMG! I've done jump roping wrong all this while. While panting, huffing, and puffing, I did it.
In Japan, no one listens to and enjoys the sound of the jump rope. We didn't know that its rhythm was important. We just have to do it to train our body or to count numbers of jumps. I was not good at it, I didn't like it, and I thought that only Japanese people did it and in other countries, kids didn't do it.
We have to enjoy it because the article says that the jump rope is a simple object and it has a history.
It can be said that the ropes can create rhythms and chants and it leads to communities. It changed women's clothes, rules of playgrounds,  and they could get to shine, even they weren't allowed to play sports.
The simple object can carry those memories and can give us creativity with rhythm sound. This is the jump rope.
