in July 2001 Shinichi Kinoshita recorded music for "Over the sun, under the moon" - a film by Harry Rag, here now the complete second solo by that incredible artist.
"In the early part of the 20th century, blind musicians, including Shirakawa Gunpachirō (1909-1962), Takahashi Chikuzan (1910-1998), and sighted players such as Kida Rinshōei (1911-1979), evolved a new style of playing, based on traditional folk songs ("min'yō") but involving much improvisation and flashy fingerwork. This style - now known as Tsugaru-jamisen, after the home region of this style in the north of Honshū - continues to be relatively popular in Japan. The virtuosic Tsugaru-jamisen style is sometimes compared to bluegrass banjo." -Wikipedia page on Shamisen, History section I'm pretty sure that this is a piece in the Tsugaru-jamisen style, but I'm not totally sure. So it isn't totally traditional, but I don't think there was much western influence, if any, in here. Hope that helped!

Dear Cinematographer,
We do not need to be close enough to his face to count the individual hairs of his mustache.
Speak for yourself.
Those moustach hairs tho
Just a guess but It seems he has some rock n roll or metal influences?
