Can anyone recommend me some nice Japanese folk songs or folk singers? Sometimes you can hear a traditional folk song being played at the background in a small family restaurant in Japan and they often sound a bit similar to the Chinese folk songs with 'shamishen' and other fine sounding music instruments. Or something equally beautiful and melancholic like this: [youtube]tIR-apIUyZk[/youtube]
I also love Japanese folks songs.....maybe you also can try to get Natsukawa Rimi songs'. She's from Okinawa. I love her songs.
