bag: Scottish or Arabian?

In hearing bag i tend to think that its ethnicity is either Scottish or Arabian. It could be bagpipes, or it could be that instrument (i dont know the exact name) somewhat like a clarinet used over in the far east. Ive heard a variety of responses to this question. Lets hear some of yours.

Think of it Bag BAGpipes. And isn't there a picture of bagpipes on the banner. Also I think the instrument your looking for is a sitar (sp).

Exotic Ethnic I always thought was Indian (as in india not native american), not Arabian. Elephants seem to be more of an east asia thing.

Exotic Ethnic sounds asian indian, the elephant tells it all. Plus I believe that a sitar is being playing during the song, which is an instrument from that culture.

And while we're covering the cultural backgrounds of RE-VENGE's songs:

Afronova = African
Matsuri Japan = Japanese
Orion.78 = Korean
Tsugaru = Japanese... Again. I guess.

Bag is supposed to sound Scottish. Duh.

Orion.78 is supposed to sound Japanese, not Korean. Specifically, it's an attempt to recreate a sound distinctive to Okinawa.

Exotic Ethnic is supposed to sound Indian.

Macho Gang is supposed to sound fucking awesome. It succeeds. It does indeed appear in DDR 2nd Mix/IIDX Substream Club Version 2. It's understandable that a lot of people wouldn't know this as I don't think there are any of these left anywhere.

And there's a lot of techno in DDR. I'm not sure where you've been...nevermind that if someone asked me to pick a Bemani song that exemplified techno, Macho Gang wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my list.

At first when I heard bag I thought it was Arabian because of the voices in the background towards the middle and the end of the song. Then I realized bag is actually bagpipes and I saw the background and banner and sure enough it had bagpipes on it! So yeah, bag is Scottish. I love that song!

As for Exotic Ethinc, I always thought it sounded a little Egyptian but the elephant in the background picture does look Indian.
