Anyone got any recommendations for good audio CD's of traditional Japanese music?

 

Thanks,

This is not the info on CD's. But there are too many categories of traditional music.

The three down...

These are some good ones

 

Yoshikazu Iwamoto, Traditional Japanese Music. He is a great Shakubachi ( flute ) player.

 

Trditional music of the Japanese Geisha, Various. Nice collection of Koto and Shakubachi as well as those crazy sort of camp fire singalongs you see in a lot of the samurai flicks.

 

Japanese traditional Koto and Shakubachi music, Satomi Saeki and Alcvin Takegawa Ramos. More of the same of above.

 

If you have Itunes, just log onto to the store and search these out, you can listen to a bit of them.

 

Cheers

This is not traditional Japanese music, but it is Japanese music with a lot of traditional elements. And that is the Vampire Girl Miyu OAV soundtrack. It's also a favorite of mine to play around Halloween.

 

I highly recommend it.
