Verse 1:

In the land of the rising sun where ancient traditions run deep

Shamisen strings sing out a story to keep

Breathy melodies emotions set free

Syncopated rhythms dance in harmony

Oh the shamisen's tune a gentle breeze a heartfelt cry

In every stroke a piece of history

With every note a feeling takes flight

In the hands of the master a beautiful sight

Verse 2:

Fingers dance upon the strings like a storyteller's words

Weaving tales of love and loss with every passionate turn

The tempo quickens the mood shifts once more

Aggressive rhythms fast and fierce like a storm

Chorus:

Oh the shamisen's tune a gentle breeze a heartfelt cry

In every stroke a piece of history

With every note a feeling takes flight

In the hands of the master a beautiful sight

Bridge:

From the peaceful sounds of a traditional ballad

To the energetic beats of a modern fusion

The shamisen's versatility a true reflection

Of the rich and diverse culture of Japan

Chorus:

Oh the shamisen's tune a gentle breeze a heartfelt cry

In every stroke a piece of history

With every note a feeling takes flight

In the hands of the master a beautiful sight

Outro:

So let us celebrate the shamisen's legacy

A symbol of Japan's soul so vibrant and free

With every breath a new story unfolds

In the land of the rising sun where music never grows old

Eastern Winds

Shamisen Japan style breathy emotional syncopated fast aggressive
