[tenjin28]

It only revived my resolve to learn more about Japan and beyond by simply watching this video.

[newtoomanga]

[RoninDave]

vid was crap but the sound very nice. very catchy! check out my biwa player vid!

[jacobX99]

I've seen it. If you could upload more biwa, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

[Merowlin]

uh... they are using the shamisen instrument, not biwa.

[jacobX99]

Thanks, Merlin. I was actually referring to RoninDave's biwa clip.

It doesn't take an Einstein to tell the difference between the two instruments, but I see how my comment could have been confusing...

[NeoNinja7]

that was the best quality ever how much mega pixel was that? .5? lol at least the sound was okay. Great music

[mejordo]

Sort of like oriental duelling banjos .. lol

[Sauriz]

excellent. too bad for the poor vid quality, but the audio was great.

[haribolshanti]

okay, i think i am more into indian and tibetan music. but i like this

[mysticalwonder7]

Now, you see, this is how Shamisen is played, not that fast stuff they have nowadays.

[shippoudesu]

tung tong pong trosk yong toing poing secret message tis is jk :P nice song toing

[orochixtra]

i like japanese instrument ...

[TheDeathBunnie]

This is very nice - I was never much of a shamisen girl myself (I play koto), but having lived for a couple of years next to a famous shamisen instructor, I can say I grew to like it more than I thought I would.

[orochixtra]

pyong pong diong freekin shit ass man gotta love that music :)) *laugh out loud reading the comments*

[mestamestaman]

What talented people of the Tsugaru district! ;)

[Kagura785]

Very beautiful snowy landscape of Tsugaru with such exquisite setting of contrast! What are the names of those two gentlement in beige Hakama and Fuchsia Haori strumming away so elegantly ??

[Sylvan93]

i love the shamisen, if i could have any instruments and learn them, i would pick guitar, shamisen, sitar and traditional drumming, with asian drums

[honounokuroiryu]

mmm thats the good stuff ^-^ aahh I love Japanese XD but Okinawans are cooler =D

[messyyang]

wow.. love it.. if anyone watch bakumatsu kikansetsu irohaniheto, that anime has alot of this music and they sing in it. too. that is how i first got into these shamisen music. they are so beautiful...

[KrisShred]

Great, I loved listening to it. I could not listen to it the whole day though *g* But that's with every music the same ;)

[japa1990]

OMG RINGU! 7 DAYS BIOTCH

[kiuioiuytrew]

[japa1990]

Yeah i know im jk, i like it a lot but the blurry faces made my remind of the ring. U know, were all the pictures are blurry.

[Sanref]

ROFL! xD

[frank6756]

Even though the video is of a poor quality, the music is beautiful. My maternal grandmother played the shamisen. I enjoyed hearing the music of my late mother's culture. Thank you for sharing it.

[googoo3]

blurry ass people

[sisaysnoopy]

it's so pity that the video bitrates are too low :(
