Hey hey! I've been also looking for traditional japanese music, to be more specific, music from japanese festivals(matsuri). Hmmm, you know, like the music from SNES's The Mistical Ninja(Ganbare Goemon), or the music you hear in the Kabuki theaters. I really like them. Do you know the name of this kind of music? It's almost totally instrumental. Hope you can help me out, thanks.
