侍音楽

Here's a CD I picked up from the 図書館 (としょかん) - Library

侍 (さむらい) - Samurai

日本 has a wide variety of traditional instruments known as 和楽器 

(わがっき) such as:

琴 (こと) - Koto; a stringed instrument played on the floor with two hands

三味線 (しゃみせん) - A three-stringed Japanese lute strung with fingers or a large pick called a 撥 (ばち)

琵琶 (びわ) - A four-stringed (sometimes 5) Japanese wooden lute

尺八 (しゃくはち) - A bamboo Japanese end-blown flute with 5 holes

太鼓 (たいこ) - Taiko is the general name from 'drum', yet there are many types of drums in Japan used for 能 (のう) - A music and dance drama that depicts ancient stories of Japan; used in festivals or for spiritual ceremonies and other purposes

There are a lot instruments of Japan and a more comprehensive list can be found here on Wikipedia, plus you can search on youtube for lots of examples on the sounds, how to play and music of these instruments that I recommend.

Japanese traditional music has meditative and minimalistic qualities that I like very much, ぼくは好きです！

Although this CD was more of a 侍 Chill beats soundtrack with electronic drum beats underneath the 琴と三味線, that 時々好きです。でも、もう和楽器が聞いてに欲しがりました。

もう、すぎね。

音楽室

The infamous English dubbed version of 学校の怪談 (がっこうのかいだん) is on Amazon Prime. Instead of doing the literal translation, they do a comedic interpretation with sexual innuendos, overzealous religious character, satirical commentary and sometimes no speaking at all just whining and screaming.

Some purists don't like this type of creating a new story using the animation and if done with mainstream anime or video games, could result in outrage, lawsuits and possibly violence. People take their anime, manga and video game translation seriously, and a lot of people out there are working very hard to uphold the integrity of the translation.

This image from 学校の怪談 is from one of the episodes when a music demon attacks the main characters. If you hear the song of the demon, which is Fur Elise by Beethoven, 3 times you will die!!

Well that means you need to stay far away from this room.

音楽室 (おんがくしつ) - Music Room

音楽 is Music, and this 漢字 -->楽 can also be read as たの used in words such as 

楽しみ - Enjoyment, pleasure; usually said to mean "Enjoy yourself."

楽しい - Adjective to describe things as fun, amusing, exciting

or if read as らくcan be:

楽園 (らくえん) - Paradise

楽に暮らす(くらす) - To live in comfort

気楽に行こう(きらくにいこう) - Take it easy, Go take it easy

楽チン - Easy-peasy, simple

The 漢字, 楽, means fun, enjoyment, relaxing; and that is what music is for many people, fun and enjoyable.

The other 漢字-->音 alone is read as おとwhich means Sound or Noise. 

So the translation for 音楽 becomes: Fun Noise or Amusing Sound.

And if you are a musician yourself, make sure you look for the 音楽屋 for all your music making needs.

--->宿題は: Translate this phrase with 音 in it.
