I read somewhere that before he became too well known his modus operandi was to join bands while appearing 'normal' and once well established he would hit them with the cross-dressing bit. Everyone's got wise to him now, though.

I haven't figured out what that zither-like instrument is. I suspect it's a Koto, but could be quite wrong there.

Yes, Koto are Japanese.
I just sort of guessed that it might be a Koto because the examples of Kayagum I saw were much smaller than the one in the vid...But yeah, there are images of larger, mounted ones in the page you linked to so, um, yeah, in retrospect it's probably a Kayagum. (- Not that I've ever heard of one before.
