I need japanese music.

[Porcelain Pierrot]

If you were going to reccomend j-pop or j-rock, you can turn back now, and run while you can!
I'm looking Traditional Japanese folk music.
Be it for the court, festivals, or in kabuki. Preferably without annoying girly vocals.
I want stuff that sounds like this  

[Araikou]

You will probably strangle me for this suggestion, but the Okami soundtrack has some pretty sweet traditional Japanese music, like the one in the video you posted. No vocals, though.

And I was all ready to grab BORIS and Melt-Banana. Oh well.

I can't really help you here, but I can't imagine it's too hard to find.  

[Porcelain Pierrot]

Mmm, Boris.
I could go for some of that and Sun 0))) right now. heart

Will try the okami soundtrack.

Or their collaboration album, Altar.

Unless that's what you were referring to.

Because you touch yourself at night.
They're busy editting the guild, the current rock forum used to be the 'asia' forum.

Maybe try vocaloids. They have all different kinds of music and it's pretty cool. whee

The Yoshida Brothers are amazing! They play the Shamisen, one of the greatest sounding instruments ever!
