Japanese o-koto solo

No Japanese lesson this time, just a sample of a dance track with a solo I wrote (and played) using an o-koto.
Just to show you can also use them in non-Japanese music.

There's also the "virtual o-koto" you can play online at:

Be genki,

Genki means fun, exciting and full of life!

If you're over 20 then you feel genki when you've had 2 beers, you feel ungenki when you've had 20!

is an o-koto that instrument over there?

[GenkiJapanNet]

yep!

Really nice job, Richard.

How did you play the song? I'm a musician, and the virtual koto you provide doesn't allow bendings.

Did you use a koto soundfont and a midi keyboard?

Thanks a lot for your time, man! Keep on writing, your tune is great :-)

[GenkiJapanNet]

Thanks for the nice words.

It's actually a real koto I played (the one in the picture actually), it's nice because the notes sustain forever and mix together nicely.
