I don't understand any Asian language, so the songs I enjoy are like instrumentals to me. I do like one song by Utada, also: It's a kind of Alt-Pop Synth/Electronic sound.

i like a lot of Asian music, I mostly listen to South (gotta love A.R. Rahman, Alish Chinai etc), and South East (like pop!T-five, A bit of Mulan Jamila, coklit etc.), I also have to say I love the Bali Monkey Chant! always have,so mesmorising!
But my all time favourite asian song is 'Daigoro's Theme' from the kickass film Shogun Assassin (love the whole soundtrack) which I can't find ANYWHERE!!!

^Speaking of instrumental music. This probably Asian in instrument only (Celtic influence and electronic mixing). The Twelve Girls Band has always been easy on the ears--and the eyes. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Mitsubishi had nude (female) taiko drummers in one of their commercials. I found a video of the group but not the commercial. Different group:

Traditional instrumentals are the best in my opinion, each culture has a unique taste most of the time.
@palaver
On the last video are they taiko drummers? Where does it come from? It sounds almost Mongol-like shamanistic drumming =/

Finally got my Shogun Assassin Soundtrack! can u believe it? been tryna get it for a stretch now, and after I posted on here, i found a dude that was willing to share it w/ me!
Ok this isn't Asia but, another form of instrumental native music I like is Native American. My sister had a CD of it and when I used to listen to it my adrenaline would go up (to the faster paced songs).

This is from the otherside of Asia, but Asia nontheless. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) It's Islamic dhikr (chanting), the Bali Monkey chant made me think of it. Usually dhikr is did with just voices (and sometimes drums) for instruments, but this one has sitar i believe. And another one from this movie....

Heh my wife loves it, told me when she was a kid she wanted to do Kung Fu from watching the movies. I've been trying to find the movies here in Australia so I can watch it with her but no luck ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

^ hope you'll find them, Jet Li is awesome in these movies... but our versions are dubbed to English, so it's kind of weird to listen to him talk with a different voice, lol!
More music:
Theme song from popular K-drama "Boys Over Flowers"
