Japanese traditional music? More specifically, Gagaku?

Question:


I already have the Ensemble Nipponia CD, but I want more of something similar to that. I have researched Gagaku, but I cannot seem to find anything relating to it in terms of CDs.
I love the vocals in the music, too. So if anyone can suggest anything like this that would be wonderful!

Answer:


I don't know about Ensemble Nipponia and I have never heard "vocals" in Gagaku music. The sound of Gagaku is like this.

Hideki Togi is the Gagaku musician in modern day.
