Folk | Min'yo
Japanese folk songs (min'yo) can be grouped and classified in many ways but it is often convenient to think of four main categories: work songs, religious songs (such as sato kagura, a form of Shintoist music), songs used for gatherings such as weddings, funerals, and festivals (matsuri, especially Obon), and children's songs (warabe uta).
In min'yo, singers are typically accompanied by the three-stringed lute known as the shamisen, taiko drums, and a bamboo flute called shakuhachi. Other instruments that could accompany are a transverse flute known as the shinobue, a bell known as kane, a hand drum called the tsuzumi, and/or a 13-stringed zither known as the koto.
An emotional Japanese style theme inspired by the children of Hiroshima singing and presenting paper cranes in Peace Park. A perfect music bed for any visual showing Japanese children, Japanese innocence or Japanese tradition. Can also be a commercial music bed that calls for an Asian flavor. Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
An authentic Japanese shakuhachi piece. No cliches or gimmicks, this is a playable work that is unmistakeably Japanese. This version begins with ferocity, leaving out the slow intro. A flurry of explosive staccato and idiomatic pitch bending bring about a unique atmosphere of Nipponia. Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
Authentic Futozao Shamisen. Traditional kokema swing gives a mocking groove quality to an otherwise haunting harmonic language. An odd yet regular pulse keeps things moving in an eerie style, and there is plenty of variation including short silences for added tension. Chromatic runs lead to a climax, Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
Authentic Hosozao Shamisen piece. After an ominous theme, a pulsating variation begins. Idiomatic staccato runs/interspersed melody notes take over. A break in the chaos comes 45 seconds in with a slightly faster take on things. This lasts about a minute (good for background) before chaos returns. Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
Authentic Hosozao Shamisen. Things escalate quickly and lead to a striking climax. The staccato strum is alternated with melody note in rapid bursts of unadultered Japanese fury. Great for video game cutscenes, film chase scenes, darkness of the night, general chaos. Also great in a comedic context, Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
Authentic Hosozao shamisen. After a 20 second foreboding, things turn sour. A fiery and rapid staccato passage that demonstrates hell hath no fury like a shamisen cranked to 11! Great for montage cutaways as it can easily be chopped. Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
Authentic Futozao Shamisen. A despaired intro forebodes a rapid arpeggiated run. Manic and neurotic, it flows like the misty fog of this swamp. A depraved pyscho chase scene is given exotic timber and driving rhythm. Great for video game cutscenes as well, Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
Beautiful traditional Japanese folk melody from the Edo Period. Shakuhachi flutes accompanied by koto, shamisen, & chimes set an exotic & peaceful atmosphere. Ideal for cooking or travel shows. Meditative & Healing uses include Yoga, Tai Chi, Massage, & more. Instrumental, Japanese Music, Folk | Min'yo
