That shamisen music from audio and videos.... [fixed link]

[Sp3ctre18]

You know that music that shows up a lot in some lessons I think? and videos as well. I almost think of it as the main theme for japanesepod 101, lol, the one centered on the samisen or similiar-sounding instrument.

ie, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShpttiWcAQY 14 seconds in.

I'd like to know if I can hear the full version anywhere, or even get it (maybe they provide it as a free download? maybe? yes? hopefully? pretty please? )

I'm most interested in that one, but all of the music I've heard on here I've liked, so if anyone knows names, links to full versions, of the other music as well, I'd appreciate it that too.

I think the ones i like best are the two that show up in the video vocab; one of them is the same one from the body language vid above.

anyone have anything to say on this? I fixed the link btw, if that was a problem.

For whatever reason I hadn't noticed your first post on this, but to answer: I haven't the foggiest idea about that piece of music.

I'm just as curious as you are!

I posted a question about this a while back in one of the Kanji Corner pages. No luck...

I actually learned to play it as a goof. Maybe I'll record it and post it somewhere once I get it all arranged. I kinda grooved it and set it up for guitars and drums etc... But I'm just a bit lazy about recording...

I'll post here if I ever get around to it!
