@fatybonbon The koto is an instrument played by delicate, small, movements which you clearly do not understand, as a Japanese, I have seen this myself!

[HALdon9000]

Koto and Sakuhachi, stupid Gai-jin!!!

[winterrose2008]

It's too short. Dx

[lilylessons]

Anyone want to have Japanese lesson?

[ExplosiveBoring]

That's how good they are.

;P

[dbaig187]

everyone look up the song origins and endings by winds of plague

[pinkfairykitty]

those instruments are so big yet they give out such a light, delightful sound. I love it!

[snake14088]

The instruments in front are koto's, if my memory is correct.

[pinkfairykitty]

ok thanx

[snake14088]

No problem,if you check wikipedia, you can find information about these instruments.

[snake14088]

if you like this, look up Rin' - Sakura Sakura. its modern music mixed with Traditional. then you could also look up Kagami Gatsu, by the same group.

[pinkfairykitty]

ok i will thanx. i love this music!

[SimpsonFan82]

idk why but it sounds for me like a song from the pokemon game crystal lol

[Tabiosk]

oh my goodness, your right! xD

[AshillaBeige]

Japanese culture is so amazing; it's so intricate; complex; refined. I'd love to go there some day, maybe as an exchange student... or as a temporary worker teaching english. I've had around 20 Japanese students stay with my family over the years and was always struck by the culture and history. I like that Japan's so advanced, but also reveres tradition. The music's great too.

[dusktribe]

I agree, I love Japan!

[Jenfucius]

My suggestion. If you do decide to go. You should at least learn some Japanese characters just to be able to get around. Or you could end up starving and getting lost alot.

Just a helpful suggestion.

Wish you good luck with your adventure!

[AshillaBeige]

I'd actually buy the Rosetta Stone program for Japanese. I'd want to have a decent grasp of the language.

[fuckyougeorge]

[Eternalyxx]

wow really beautiful! i love those chinese/japanese type scales. they are very evocative and make me feel like i'm actually in some beautiful, old and mysterious place ^^

[tanguta]

fistly, i have though it is a sound from Turkey, without video I wouldn't identify as a Japanese sound, nice thing !

[inuyasha116]

love japan :)

[joecounter]

Hey, this is

子所のつき　(kojo no tsuki).

Great song!

Joe.

[Rocky893]

Hey, Joe:

Allow me to correct the title: The correct kanji is 「荒城の月」

"Koujyou no Tsuki" means, "Moon (above the) desolate castle"

[joecounter]

Sure, ありがとう。

「荒城の月」is a very impressive song.

I see this old castle before in it's full

impressive totality in my mind while hearing this song.

Joe.
