'Rise' by the Yoshida Brothers (they also did the music for the U.S. Wii commercials).

Wow, that's actually a really amazing sound. I could do without the addition of sound effects, but it's cool nonetheless.

This style of shamisen playing is called Tsugaru Jamisen and it was developed in and around Aomori Prefecture in Northern Japan. People there have been rocking hard for well over 100 years. That's way before we even heard of 'rock music'.
