I assume this instrument must be technically very difficult to play because it clearly leaves little room for musical creativity in this style of music.

If you like this song but wish is had a more chill electronica fusion, check out DJ Krush (ft. Shinichi Kinoshita) - Beyond Raging Waves. Beautiful shamisen playing but with a more of a downtempo/hip groove compared to Yoshida Bros bouncy dancefloor track. For some reason I always think it is Yoshida Bros when it comes on Pandora, I guess because the shamisen is so up front in the mix, but it's unmistakably Krush's production.

bong bing bing bong bing bing bong bing over and over again with nothing else of interest (standard machine-generated baseline) doesn't make much of a good advert for this kind of music, does it? It's like playing the Laughing Gnome as representative of Bowie's music.

Has anyone copied the various sound tracks from the old CD game "Silent Thunder"?  There are some very similar tracks therein.  The game itself is sort of sucky, but the music tracks (like those on "Commanche" and "Rednecks Revenge" are worth playing and including in any catalog.

From Wikipedia:
" The shamisens of professional players are often taut in cat skin, as it is more delicate and expensive. It is said that the best sound quality is produced from a shamisen bound in cat skin. In the past a special type of paper was used and recently various types of plastics are being tried. On the skin of some of the best shamisen, the position of the cat's nipples can still be seen.<2>"

I like that you say "yet"! It was a "5" for me when I first heard it. Up to a "7" today, and I may not be done yet! I like it when songs grow on you!

I find that I rarely take a song down from my initial rating (generally if I dislike it strongly that feeling holds firm), but very often — with songs that on first listen are generally likeable — either my taste or the feel of a particular song will develop over time and my rating goes up accordingly. Not always...but this one has potential!
