upvote for the new arrangement of this adhoc Japanese orchestra, and for Deep Purple's song.

"From the 250th anniversary celebration of the Great Fire of Edo (Edo is
the traditional name of Tokyo) (Ooedo No Hikeshi) … one of many, but the most
destructive, held along with the Great Eruption of Fuji-san 300th
Anniversary. This is the Kabuki-za orchestra and readers along with
part of the Suntory Hall Orchestra, which occasionally features the
Crown Prince on viola (but not in this one)."

Yeeeoooop!

I've seen numerous Japanese classical performances in Japan (Maiko, No, etc). Great stuff. An interesting modern take on their instrumentals!

Its the vocals that do it for me.

I think this deserves another *promote
