What is the main stringed instrument being played in these songs?

I know of 3 different japanese stringed instruments... the Koto, Shamisen and Biwa, but I don't know how each sound.... is it even one of these though? (since the songs are electronically composed it seems)

EDIT: it seems hyperlinking doesn't work...
They are "tam-y18.mp3", "tam-y23.mp3", and "tam-y06.mp3" under the "和風イメージより" section at http://www.tam-music.com/mp3.html

I think the main instrument is the koto. They don't sound like the shamisen or biwa.

I agree with epigene. It does sound like Koto, but just like you guessed it's probably done by a keyboard.

Music Page?

Hi minna san!

I would like you to help me. I'm searching for some pages on the internet...
I have a brand new electronic (music) band, and I would like, that Japanese people listen it, if they like it.
Can you help me where can I try it. At a big forum?
Please write me (e-mail)!
Thanks:

Kakushi
