Shamisen Weeps. Kubo and the Two Strings Live Music 2016

[@rowandoesshitposting]

Kubo was great,the shamisen playing in movie was phenomenal,its pure art

[@dvnduy]

it's amazing when i hear "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" to be covered with Shamisen. I heard over 100 times without tired

[@sandys5231]

Behind every music student is a great music teacher. You can always count on the teacher who will nudge your pedal closer to you when you set it up too far, right before your solo! Shout out to all the teachers out there saving our skins! hahaha

[@moje0076]

Back again in 2023 to listen to this masterpiece

[@OkedoKid]

She killed that guitar solo!

[@gurbindersekhon8240]

Yeah she killed it... need a better sound system

[@hotglassfilms]

BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!

[@CamryLong]

Kevin, I just saw the film for my second time today, and I nearly had a conniption when I saw your name credited as the shamisen soloist. It was such an amazing film, and the music was beautiful.

[@まろにー-h7m]

KUBOが大好きなので、めちゃめちゃうれしいです！最初日本語で話してくれたのも嬉しい！

[@45flydalton]

The best rendition of my guitar champion weeks after seeing the movie loved it still is thinking about the fable and the song

[@moje0076]

Back again in 2022 to listen to this masterpiece

[@huynhtrung2341]

0:45 don’t mind me, just personal replay button...

[@CWoodyButler]

love the smile on your face after the guitar solo. :)

[@irb911]

The soundtrack of the movie allowed me to tell my kids about the Beatles.....they heard the song watching "Kubo...."

[@mowaterfowl1479]

あなたのしゃみせんは本当に素晴らしいです

[@scottbown3480]

Best version yet. My wife want me to learn this.

[@payol1992]

This is why i LOVE SHAMISEN! Kubo is the best movie ever!

[@1965bonsai]

Simply Beautiful. i can't wait to see the movie.

[@rahellscream]

Beautiful music and the movie.

[@Noika]

I´ve been looking for this version with no vocals... it´s beautiful, thank you

[@CamryLong]

I'm so excited for the film. Great job as always.

[@barbarasayuri7695]

I was not expecting the guitar solo, so goood!!!

[@TSpancer80]

Everything in this is just great. Thank you all for your wonderful performance. Can´t get enough of it. Please release a studio version, I would buy it immediately. Greetings.

[@morskojvolk]

Absolutely awesome....bummer I never heard anything as cool as this when I lived in Misawa.

[@blonglor5114]

Amazing job. Talented folks here.

[@Hey_its_Koda]

Shamisen sounds awesome.

[@josewilly7432]

This is the best string instrament in the world

[@yuangrapyta]

[@sakuramoon5774]

Awesome job guys (Kevin!), film just came out in Australia today can't wait to see it :)

[@dru3789]

love this type of music gives me the chills :)

[@chimerax9234]

Beautiful!!!! Absolutely Beautiful!!!!

[@darklight1307]

Great performance. Can't imagine a foreigner can handle the Japanese instrument so well. The cute girls's guitar solo is awesome. Your other shamisen videos are also pretty cool. I actually like the movie ending song more than the movie itself.

[@williampow69]

this is a such great song no matter who played it

[@boaner]

Gorgeous. Perfectly done.

[@jerryperry1788]

the girl with her guitar is so adorable

[@robertlee-nq6mg]

Uncle, she is a kid

[@quietrabbit]

+robert lee you trying to say that kids aren't adorable?

[@YouNeverComeCloser]

so is the girl on the piano, so concentrated :)

[@JoJo-lj6kk]

Quietrabbit he’s trying to say I’m calling the fuckin’ police

[@monkeymouse]

I really want to hear a shakuhachi flute playing the Clapton guitar riff behind the samisen, but this is a good arrangement.

[@irisjin1959]

IT's awesome to hear this.

[@Musicalleyinclinedonline]

If you are musicalley inclined, you don't want to miss this turn.

[@sergeilondon9372]

just amazing.

[@sajoulee]

I needed this in my life

[@AnhAnh-hv8ni]

wonderful feel great routine! I always expect one complete copy mp3 on soundclound.com thank team . wonderful

[@GastricSparrow]

This is absolutely wonderful! Makes me want to learn the shamisen haha

[@VanNessy97]

If you truly want to dedicate your life to studying and playing the shamisen, power to you.

[@JazzmanJeff]

Awesome!

[@normangale3159]

Brilliant

[@kevp9601]

I Love That Music So Much!!!!!!!!!!! XD

[@cuccuttoqua]

very very good

[@fukayoshida7989]

Tôi rất thích tiếng nhạc của đàn shamisen :)

[@kevp9601]

shamisendemon, From now on, you're my Coolest KZbin Friend For Life, Because I Love You and I Think You Have Wonderful KZbin Video Publishing Skills. And You Know What Else, I Love Kubo and the Two Strings Too. ;-)

[@shamisendemon]

[@AshrafKhan-wd3un]

Can i use the sound of this video you will be credited .Please reply sooon

[@shamisendemon]

Sure. Go for it. Please credit to Kevin Kmetz - Shamisen artist and students and let me know when it`s done. I`d love to check it out.

[@AshrafKhan-wd3un]

Thank you , i will write to you after its done , i will use use this for background . thank you again Senpai ^^

[@lostpunkrock]

any chance of the studio version of this used in the trailer being released? I really would love a copy of that

[@seanplays16]

did you find it?

[@lostpunkrock]

nope no luck

[@1ucasvb]

Decided to go around looking for it again. No luck. I hate when great music doesn't get released and is treated as "disposable". And I especially hate how instrumentals always get thrown to the side in favor of someone singing.

[@und3rgr0undfr34k]

love it

[@joebailey5939]

Kevin Kmetz is fantastic ,, Don't you agree .. uncle Brud , and Aunt Judi ,, Rotterdam New York

[@tobyray2060]

Awesome ! :-)

[@AshrafKhan-wd3un]

Made my day .

[@iamchesspirate]

This is great! please tell me there is a studio version of this, like in the trailer?, just orchestral without the vocals that's on the soundtrack? I'd pay $15 just for that mp3 alone.

[@kevp9601]

Best Video Ever!

[@karehaa]

AWESOME COVER❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@fukayoshida7989]

いいですね。

[@splatttt]

Wow, you are playing music for the movie? That's awesome! I wish I could play shamisen but they are so expensive >.>

[@Chemicalkinetics]

Expensive? Any Asian string instrument is nowhere as expensive as a violin.

[@splatttt]

+Chemicalkinetics Well either way, it doesn't make much difference when you are a kid with no income xD

[@kevinkmetz8374]

Certainly true in some cases. I`ve heard violins can get pretty high in price. But high quality Shamisens are also quite steep. The famous Japanese Master Masahiro Nitta owns a Shamisen that is valued in USD around approximately $35,000.00. But whatever it`s not like it`s a contest or something. just sayin.

[@jordanbarber6376]

[@chistesmuchanota]

[@fugalibrana]

This lady was so bored until 2:47 LOL xDD

[@pilarbernal3985]

Hola, se escucha súper, quisiera saber cómo se llama el instrumento que toca el Sr , gracias por tan hermosa presentación

[@mcRydes]

shamisen

[@khaliabowman4866]

have a great day we love you

[@gyroids365]

this is so good ommggg hey also, does anyone know what type of shamisen that is?

[@starsonapollo2]

gyroids I'm pretty sure kmetz uses a tsugaru shamisen, but i may be wrong

[@arunsharma4334]

Respect

[@kevp9601]

I Am Never Pressing the Dislike Button, I Promise.

[@galaxyofneon._.5352]

Same

[@crysalistwo189]

Is a shamisen easier to play than a guitar?

[@AudiMelsom]

great performance, but the tempo is unstable :')

[@patrickmarw1174]

wow

[@gi.m8894]

What is that instrument called?

[@kevinkmetz8374]

Shamisen

[@MuizzHunzukuz]

👏

[@DanMumford]

I thought Colonel Gaddafi was dead!

[@kevp9601]

Fame Town USA!

[@ranrise]

Anyone want to explain why the movies called 2 strings while the shamisen has 3 strings and Kubrick plays 3 strings the entire movie????

[@GDG9393]

I think Kubo was the third string - His mother and father were the other two.

[@favixthings]

that actually makes sense, thanks for the interpenetration. Can't wait to watch them movie!

[@kilasandra]

Total spoilers, in this thread! Gotta watch the movie to find out!

[@ranrise]

GDG9393 That was my interpretation as well. It's Kubo and his parents.

[@Meg_88]

Because the two most important strings were the ones that were from his parents :)

[@moje0076]

I'm here in 2025...

[@kevp9601]

Too Many Numbers of KZbin Dislikes, Aw Jeez., It's Probably Kubo's Arch Enemies. :-(

[@coldplayer6268]

I miss Geogre

[@kevp9601]

Trust Me, Kubo and his Family from the Feature Film "Kubo and the Two Strings", Are Faster, Stronger, and Smarter, Just Like Japanese Americans, Because Japanese Americans are One of the Asian Americans. Look It Up On Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia, and You See What I Am Talking About. :-)

[@GastricSparrow]
