Alex,
Yes, you can play western music on the shakuhachi. The standard shakuhachi
has 5 holes, but they are also available with 7 holes to facilitate playing
western tunes.
Check out Monty's web site, Shakuhachi Tools, for a fingering chart for 5 & 7
hole shakuhachi, and western and Japanese notations.
