Let's try traditional Japanese music instruments Shamisen

"Nagauta", which originated as kabuki music and developed as Shamisen (three-string instrument) music, is a type of traditional Japanese music played on Shamisen. You can try Shamisen and professional Nagauta players will give a powerful performance and explain Nagauta in a way that makes it easy even for first-timers to understand.
