Covers of Beatles songs with Japanese Instruments, mostly koto and shakuhachi.

They were featured as the BGM on the Japanese telivision program テリビチャンピオン２. Does anyone know any information?

I think that might be the album 'Super-Nova' by the Japanese band KoKoo ( http://www.japanimprov.com/indies/sevenseas/supernova.html) - I got my copy for the Emerson, Lake and Palmer interpretation, but the Beatles ones are very good. I got my copy from cdjapan.co.jp

Just to summarize, this is the timpollard's link. I also found that record described here (which says it's out of print) and its only Beatle songs are She's Leaving Home and Eleanor Rigby -- no Strawberry Fields. I know I heard something similar in this vein awhile back, I think on the now-canceled Pacific Time radio program, but I've been unable to locate any more info.
