His songs, which mainly comprised traditional folk song, take inspiration in cultural heritage, by mixing both the tunes of older popular Okinawan folk songs and his own tune composition. In 2006, Keisuke traveled to Shanghai, where he decided to settle down and promote the Okinawan culture. Part of his tradition is not only food and drinks, but music plays as well an important role. The sanshin (三線, lit., "three strings"), which is the precursor of the mainland Japanese shamisen (三味線), is an instrument that is originated from Okinawa.
