AMAZING. i really like this song, and i really liked this version. Thanks for sharing it.

Very nice job. As far as these comments about stylistic differences, Tozan arrangements will always have more runs of notes and ornaments than Kinko, sometimes sounding rather flashy or busy in comparison. Kinko will have a more subtle melodic line. Just the way schools are different.

I just recently found this, I love Traditional music.

This, Hakusen No, and Tsuru no Sugamori are my very favorites. Thank you for posting this.

Hello- Not sure what you are thinking of - Takamizu and I played the 6 dans of Rokudan according to the music I have and it matched what Takamizu was playing. Perhaps you have heard a version with the Kaeta section? Is there a different Tozan version of Rokudan? There are certain embellishments that I was taught and that yes, I tend to play in a Gaikyoku piece. Goro Yamaguchi's playing is a huge inspiration in this regard. As for style, I study and play the Kinko school of Honkyoku.

*** your interpretation reminds me a bit masayuki koga's on his cd "east wind"

[@IAssolantVencato]

maybe i'm beeing stupid, since i'm a bit young and new to shakuhachi (i'm learning tozan), plz don't get me wrong. i'm just used to play in a different way, faster and closer to the chart, the most interpretation i do are some wind intensity effects at some parts

[@IAssolantVencato]

man, maybe i'm not as experienced as you and my interpretation is too attached to technique, but you simplified the music in some parts... well you did some marcations between notes very well, i liked them a lot ^^ wich style do u follow?

[@IAssolantVencato]

i'm not shure who interpreted the song i use to train, i'll have a camera and scanner pretty soon, i'll try to send you an mp3, or post a video with it until that... i could send you a scan of the chart later

sounds like the music used at the beginning of the samurai showdown game O_O;

This sounds like the music from the game Pharaoh.
