I almost lost it in the theater when I realized that the theme music was a heavily mutated version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Seriously, listen. Once you hear it, you won’t be able to not hear it.

Yes, it’s a really awesome orchestral version. I think George would have liked it.
I am really looking forward to this one.
The instrument looked familiar, and then I remembered a video of a modern use of the instrument. https://youtu.be/m6HKxlOI9Rs
And a more traditional setting, but could definitely see something like this on Firefly https://youtu.be/1P4BPeEo_Lg
The instrument is called a samisen.
If anyone’s wondering about the band, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN2OzjFXbU8 has their name (Behi) and the song’s name: Revolution. Also the video is of far better quality.
