    The Land of the Rising Sun's Guitar Game

    Shamisen Brothers is like Guitar Freaks, but all Japanesey. The game was developed by redemption game maker Kato and was no doubt an attempt to capitalize on Taiko no Tatsujin's huge success. Not exactly the newest cabinet in the arcade, but still a winner. The game features two dueling shamisens, each with its own bachi (or shamisen pic) with which players pluck out tunes. Kimonos are optional. Brian Ashcraft
