Shang Shang Typhoon is a Japanese band of the '80s and '90s.
Led by Kouryuu, the band also features female singers Satoko Nishikawa and Emi Shirasaki. The SST sound is a blend of Okinawan music, min'yo singing and other Japanese elements, with some rock, pop and reggae thrown in. The unique sound of the group is largely due to an original instrument devised by Kouryuu that he calls "sangen"; a banjo strung with shamisen strings.
