freaking love it
I don't understand why I'm the first to review. This is insanely awesome. I too am in love with the shamisen. :) I have yet to use it in any of my works, but I definitely will at some point. I'm glad someone else out there respects a good Asian instrument as much as I do. And when I read your comments about it, I was expecting much less than what came out of my speakers. That means you're being way too hard on yourself. There's always room for improvement, but this is still awesome as hell. I have been aspiring to put together a flash game with an Asian theme, and if I ever do, I would love to use this song in it. Consider yourself accomplished as far as this piece is concerned. :D
