How is it fake? Are you that jelous of his skills? Have some decency man and admit that some people can do this. I mean how many people sit there and say someone playing the guitar is fake? It's the same thing minus a few strings.

i;m too lazy to dig all comments up, but if somebody suggested that his playing is "fake" becouse in some moments his movements and sounds don't mach (possibly), I can say that youtube sucks in many moments. One of them is poor tecnique of downloading clips and etc. I know that for sute, becouse I saw some effects in the video of dancers.
I don't understand anything in shamisen playing, but he is amazing, that is obvious.

I dont think so, they are probably some set of instruments or some technical thing for recording.
