They do use a visual notation, but it's nothing like western sheet music. Most of the pieces are memorized, with notation only used for reference. I can't find any good articles in English however, gomen ne!

This kind of music speaks about the thousands of generations past. The rituals, the bloodlines, the beliefs...ancient Japan is captured here. It makes me cry...

How many of these posters actually understand this music? How many are pretending to understand it?

I think everyone 'understands' it to different levels. As much as I might love it, I'll probably always hear it or respond to it differently than a Japanese person who grew up with it in a full context. In the end, the ability to let go of musical preconceptions and feel it might be more important than intellectually understanding it.
