I miss living in Japan. The neighbor in my former apartment complex would play the shamisen. She lived across from me and my ex husband, and at night she would play. It was so lovely, the faint sound of the shamisen gently floating on the wind. We would be leaving the apartment to go have dinner with his folks, and we could hear her play in the distance.

yes, this is what I expected when I searched the shamisen, traditional, simple, beautiful. unlike the ones I found earlier. I only wish this was longer.

When I discovered this instrument and heard it for the first time, I felt like a storm was passing through me ... but at the same time it was warming my heart.
The shamisen is the best instrument that exists in the world ...
madness, anger, pain and at the same time sweetness, warmth and love, all in one instrument.
I would love to learn how to play it to convey what I feel.

Nice performance anyway

So stunning. Always feel the music in my soul when played on a shamisen.

Beautiful, having watched so many rock, punk, country, blues, and blue Grass guitar players. It's amazing how quick and persise she is with suck a large, for want of the propper word, Pick. Just amazing.

Would love to hear two of these instruments playing Dueling Banjos together.

I always felt like this was a must have instrument from the very first time I ever heard it

- Muzan: appears

She has the look on her face like she's playing the Japanese version of Free Bird.

it sounds so beautiful, its hard to describe

[WinoaKaronhiatens]

Regardless this says Lute for Shamisen I always felt the ones shown as Shamisen sounded different and look different then any lutes I've ever seen. The Biwa often shown however look more lutes I've seen. I honestly like the sound of this instrument and wish it was used in my country.

I've wanted a shamisen since junior high!
