Subject: RE: PLAYING THE TAISHOGOTO
This is the Bach link http://www15.tok2.com/home/miyabi3/g_sen_mp3_2.mp3 that Masato mentioned. I'm not sure what you mean by "mostly a blank page". When I look at it in IE (where I don't have Japanese character support installed) I see gobbledygook, not blank space. Anyhow, you want to scroll down to where the page is divided into three columns, the left column consisting of links. The first one is the Bach air already mentioned. The second is the Bach/Gounod "Ave Maria". The third is the Caccini (sp?) "Ave Maria". The fourth is Brahms, the fifth an Italian melody of the 16th century, etc., etc. Dvořak... all basically classical stuff. If you scroll down past an olive-green bar, the next series of links are ostensibly Japanese tunes. (Though one appears to be "Katyushka" and another's title mentions "gondola"... so I would take their putative indigenosity with a grain of shio.) The third section purports to be tunes from around the world (and Katyusha reappears here). The fourth section is "Miyabi originals", and I don't know what the "43x" stuff introduced by the pink bar is...

Until Masato gets back to us, hopefully this will help a little.
