Your videos pop up in my you tube everyday. It might have to do with how often you tune in, which for me is every day. Shamisen is the instrument and I believe is the English spelling

I lived in Japan for a year from 71-72 ans must say I had tthe time of my life there even though I was in the Marines :) I was shocked when a woman came into the bathroom at a bar when I first got there. It was a totally different world Id love to go back. So much good music coming from Japan these days.

Third grade Lee: “What is this, bro, Ancient Rome?” LOL What third grader knows Rome? Samisen…you were close. It’s startling how she took the traditional instrument and played it hard. They are very hip. It was fun to watch. Thank you, Patrick M. and Lee!

Windshield Ice scraper pick? That's a new one. I use an ice scraper to scrape my stainless steel pans before steel wool but that's nowhere near as original
