I love it when I find something the kids react to. My sophomores are studying Japan now. I wanted to find some traditional music for them. I was running out of time. Below is what I put together.

I started them with a traditional performance in Step 1. Then I showed them a modern Shamisen competition as Step 2. Finally I ended with the Yoshido Brothers doing a music video as Step 3.

The kids really seemed to like it. I thought you might too.
