Ableton Liveというソフトウェアを使用し、ひとりで演奏を重ねていきながらライブで曲を構築して完成させます。

\\\ Oedo Nihonbashi /// お江戸日本橋
This folk song began to be sung by ordinary people in Tokyo東京(formerly known as "Edo(江戸)") in the 18th century.
No one knows who made this song and how it spread.
"Nihonbashi(日本橋)" is a place name in the center of Tokyo,but it is also the name of the bridge.
Nihonbashi is also the center of townspeople culture and has been very prosperous since that time.
I can't introduce it here,but the lyrics of this song are very unique.
It's like a guidebook, and popular spots along the way of the trip at that time appear one after another.
If you have a chance,check out the lyrics of this song.

[Shamisen(三味線)]
is a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument.
The body of shamisen is kind of like a drum, and the drum head is made of artificial plastic material. These days there are various materials. Shamisen is often compared with the Banjo.
As the material for the neck,　Red sandalwood is mainly used.
The strings are made of nylon and silk.

[About myself]
After touring Europe with a Japanese band "Papaya paranoia(パパイヤパラノイア)", moved to Prague. Currently based in Prague and continuing performance.
Lately I have been experimenting Shamisen play with looping using Ableton Live, focusing on old Japanese folk songs however not only traditional but also I would like to play as many different styles as possible.
Speaking of Shamisen, "Geisha", "Tsugaru" or "Kabuki" are well known, but it is possible to play in various styles. Recently shamisen sound is often used in anime songs ,too, and very popular.
