Where is part 2

[@kuroazrem5376]

Where is part 2.

[@Doubtlessly]

This band is awesome. His performances are consistently stunning. What an incredible musician. For me, it’s like learning drums from Neil Pert or learning violin from Boyd Tinsley.

[@geromyre]

I absolutely love Wagakki Band, and I had no idea you would have this guest on your channel! This is amazing!

[@geromyre]

I'd love to know how, in Wagakki Band performances, Kaminaga-san always seems to be 120% ready to throw out a solo. Fingers crossed that he talks about it in part 2!

[@brendanmurphy8727]

Wow. Daisuke on Let's Ask Shogo. I'd assumed Daisuke had started playing the shakuhachi as a child given his virtuoso performances. It was a surprise to learn he started at university. Looking forward to part 2.

[@Theorof]

He seems to be a very down to earth person, and quite friendly. 👍

[@mauriman2210]

I can appreciate the years of hard work this man endured to become the talent he is... Thank you for the duet performance it has a nostalgic vibe... 👏👏👏

[@Guttube]

Neat. Im beginning to suspect there are like 10 Shogo at this point, with how many things he is studying and running a youtube channel and having all those little kids...

[@saldiven2009]

I met him briefly along with Suzuhana Yuuko and Ibukuro Kiyoshi a few years ago after a performance by their three-piece, Hanafugetsu, here in Atlanta.

[@faderblock]

omg! the wind of wagakki!

[@GlenHunt]

That duet was so awesome! Thank both of you!! I look forward to part 2 so much!

[@ScottKent]

Wow...just wow. Happy for you. What an honor to get to play along with him. Now to get the rest of Wagakki Band in for an interview (maybe your 1.52 million subscribers can get Beni over 100k on KZbin...it's a shame that she doesn't have more viewers). I'm looking forward to to finally being back in Japan this summer for my 60th birthday. Spending a few days in Osaka, a week or so in Tokyo, and a few days in Kyoto (and hopefully a trip up to Takefu Knife Village). Your videos have been an immense help in planning some of the things we want to do in Kyoto, so thank you very much.

[@mohiothman8170]

Get the rest of Wagakki Band as well!

[@SirHellNaja]

What a coincidence, I was just practicing the intro flute part from Akatsuki no Ito

[@lillyevergreen9385]

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to watch this video thank you

[@Strider_Shinryu]

Loved and followed Wagakki Band as well as Kaminaga for years, so this is a huge treat to see show up on this channel. Great video!

[@sky_izm]

He is my favorite Wagakki Band member. Thank you for inviting him in your channel.

[@DonSultanable]

I love the Shakuhachi and just started last year! Thanks for making the video!

[@feral_shade]

I could listen to Kaminaga play for hours--the music is just so soothing!! Watching him play, you could really tell it's 100% coming from his heart... I doubt he's ever needed to read sheet music ... It's like lying on a raft as you float down a river, if that makes sense. Thanks for sharing this video with us!! Looking forward to part 2! ☺️

[@chadwicmears]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and loved the story of how Kaminaga-san decided to start playing Shakuhachi. I am an international student in Japan and will be taking lessons on how to play the Koto in a few months. Keep up the great content 👏

[@xenodraigshrike5052]

Love Wagakki Band!!!! So happy you got to interview him and play together!! Badass man! Tell them to do a show in Arizona USA!!

[@steviepramudita3841]

I'm a big fan of him. Thank you for doing collaboration with him... ❤️

[@user-mg4jd3bp1m]

It's my favourite Japanese music-band👍

[@Zombie_Spaceman]

So interesting! Thank you for sharing Shogo! The excitement in your face when you're speaking to Kaminaga Daisuke is so palpable!

[@unicaunica85]

Thank you for the video! It was Let's Ask Shogo and Wagakki Band that were my go to during Covid lockdowns when I came home from work.

[@salkalb614]

Omg omg Wagakki band please please we need an entire interview with them 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@madeleineg2049]

Thank you for the video. The duett was amazing. Kaminaga seems to be reaching and connecting with a lot of people around the world. So I guess, the Shakuhachi works out pretty well for him. 😀

[@venancioserrano]

Daisuke-san ♥️ A year ago I started learning how to play the Shakuhachi because of this guy. Him and Machiya-San are my biggest influences in music. Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷♥️🇯🇵

[@ytnamax]

Wagakki Band forever! (And Hanafugetsu too!)

[@jummi4936]

Amazing video! Loved the duet at the end!

[@cansontravel2289]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Dai-san is a living legend, I've never heard or seen such an amazing and versatile flute-player, his divine sound reaches your soul directly and what a charming personality he has! The Wagakki Band, his main project, is the best band in the universe, I fell in love with them the first second I saw them. It would be cool, Dear Shogo-san, if you can get some of the other 7 members too to talk with you on your great channel. Congratulations for the beautiful duet, your skills are impressive.

[@monicab204]

The duet was beautiful! ❤️ Thank you for the mini concert. And the background story was inspiring.

[@zingerzmusic]

I met Daisuke-San when he was on tour in NYC, we got some empanadas and just sat in the park talking shakuhachi and playing a bit. Such a down to earth guy, you’d never know he was such a big deal just talking to him. Happy to see him featured here!

[@faderblock]

it was sunrise and my heart already melted by the kindles of this morning haze. 耳うれしい！

[@sopranometal]

Ohhhh!!! Que maravilla ver este video. Admiro tanto a Dai y Wagakki Band 🤍 Gracias por compartir, Shogo!

[@jamesadkins1780]

That was wonderful. Thanks for introducing us to new things.

[@NathanTenney]

I love the Wagakki Band.

[@justaway6901]

Wuuuuuut you got him as guest!

[@fishgarden7784]

Woah, what a beautiful song... I like how each part and player had their own chance to shine. I think that's always an amazing quality for a duet to have.

[@zero.the.prototype]

What an astonishing video. I have studied music in my free time for many years and have never learned of this interesting and wonderful instrument. Thank you very much for working so hard on this production. Please consider giving me permission to sample your duet so I may create new music for celebrating the outreach you both embody, in addition to seeking understanding of different cultures. Thought of you while shoveling some Michigan snow yesterday. ❄ 🏔 ☆ Stay Healthy! (Thanks to the channel crew too!)

[@kebosangar]

Thank you, Shogo san. Been looking forward to this episode. Love Wagakki band and Kaminaga san's playing is one of the highlights, especially during their live performances. Thanks again!

[@rtstaley]

Awesome interview. I would be super nervous as well.

[@casbalt7763]

I really enjoyed his feature on Hiroko Moriguchi's Gundam Covers 3

[@shirolee]

Wow, that's so cool that you got to meet Kaminaga Daisuke of Wagakki Band!!!

[@seekertosecrets]

10:54 You can actually feel yourself walking though a field on a dirt road with this song. It reminds me of Rossini's prologue to the William Tell Overture just before it performs its big number.

[@karolius4844]

I'm listening Wagakki Band for years now. I have watched already the second video too but I'm writing this comment here to say that your performance absolutely stunned me. Kyoshu no Sora is also my favourite song of Wagakki Band but what you did here make me cry from the very first sound and each time i play it again it still happens. Please world need that duo in separete music version. The melody of your shakuhachis is just pure magic art. Love Kaminaga Daisuke, love Wagakki Band, Love Shogo

[@KevinSchmidt-sj2rk]

I enjoyed this video very much. Learning the history of the shakuhachi was very interesting. One take away if I understood this correctly is the shakuhachi has a two part history. The second part begins at the end of the Edo period up to the present day. Well done!

[@Anesth3s1A]

VERY exciting video for me too! I would have never expected this video to happen. I'm very happy for you.

[@camillafontana915]

I cannot believe you had a members of Waggaki Band on, I love them so much :O Amazing video!

[@faymelp826]

Amazing performance! It’s very inspiring to see, especially as someone who’d love to learn the Shakuhachi, and plans to when I do foreign exchange. ありがとうございます、しょごさん！

[@LupitaMartinez63018]

I loved it, the mini concert was so beautiful. Thank you!

[@kazedens1693]

That was amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. :D

[@mialotusmusic]

Lovely playing both of you! Thanks for the relaxing moment!

[@dalsegno04]

This is really awesome. This is such an educational video, somehow makes me wanna try shakuhachi, too. The performance in the end is healing to hear, too. :D

[@karasuma_seiichiro]

I fell in love with WagakkiBand's music the first time I heard it so I was truly looking forward to this interview. I'm very much excited for Part 2! Thank you

[@svenkreuzberg2274]

Daisuke is amazing in what he is doing ! Bring Wagakki to Germany please !

[@user-ko3vg7fc7o]

Beautifully done! Thank you!

[@arkantos4444]

wagakki band is my top favorite music . I listen to this wonderful band everytime I drive going to work and back . I love them so much. Please next time interview Yuko Suzuhana becuas she is the vocalist of this band

[@kylemaccloud8565]

Thank you, beautiful sound, much gratitude! 😊

[@hollish196]

Lovely! Thank you for sharing.

[@MysticLGD]

Thank you

[@Parcolai]

Shogo, you inspire me. It must be quite hard to practice with your extremities conditions. You did well.

[@K-Igaki]

This is amazing, it's great to see Daisuke on your channel demonstrating his shakuhachi techniques

[@Varamthir]

Incredible video! Daisuke-san was and still is great inspiration for me! Thanks to him (and whole Wagakki band as well) I decided to learn japanese, and been going with it for 4-5 years now, slowly progressing and enjoying every bit of it! Thanks to his amazing skills and performance I've fallen in love with the sound of shakuhachi and been learning it for about a year now. Lately we had amazing workshops with Kogetsu Maekawa Sensei here in Poland, and it revitalised my love for this instrument and the sounds I can create with it. Some day while in Japan, maybe I will have an opportunity to see the Wagakki Band concert or meet Daisuke-san and just thank him for opening my mind to a new journey I am currently on. Thank You Shogo for this video! Its is so amazing to get to know the story and reasons of Daisuke-san for why he started to play Shakuhachi, as gaming and cinematic music especially when flutes come into play are main reasons which push me forward on this journey as well (getting goose bumps everytime I hear any kind of flute - especially Shakuhachi)!

[@tylerlivingston2637]

This was a great video. I love Wagakki Band. Beni Ninagawa is the reason I’m slowly learning how to play the shamisen. Looking forward to Part 2!

[@kuroazrem5376]

This was amazing

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

nice interview, shogo.

[@houtanarefi3325]

Thanks for bring one of my favorite persons to your channel, When I was child TV broad cast in Iran had contract with Japan and TV was full of Japanese movies and TV series and I really loved those movies, in age around 12 I had every Japanese classic movies from Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, Ichikawa,...etc. and from those movies sound of classical Japanese musics instruments are very familiar for me. In fact I raised with sound of those instruments and some Japanese culture and history so when I hear those instruments it is not sound foreign for me at all it is like you playing my music.

[@garryferrington811]

Shogo, you have a real star with you! I love Wagakki! And you did quite well, too.

[@conorcrockett9563]

Beautiful performance 😍

[@COPIUNICORN]

My favorite Japanese band!❤

[@tiffanygriffin]

The song is beautiful

[@LMaGillicutty99]

The song at the end! So hauntingly beautiful!

[@alexcarter8807]

Somehow through some miracle I came upon Kaminaga-san's channel and I immediately subscribed. This happened just last night. MIracles can't be predicted, they just .... happen.

[@liossnimhaille4958]

I started shakuhachi last year and manage to reach easily highter notes since only a week. But i'm still proud of myself ^^ . Great duet at the end!

[@MagoDrayk]

You have no idea how exited this video made me, I'm a big fan of Wagakki band and a fellow shakuhachi practitioner. Thank you so much Shogo

[@eepyJay]

I've had such a bad day today, so stressful and feeling the lowest of the low -- seeing how excited Shogo was to meet a hero of his saved me.

[@yukismom]

Shogo it was beautiful playing. I closed my eyes to listen to the wonderful music. I hope we can hear more of your playing and singing soon

[@yourfriendblaze]

the duet was beautiful

[@erinnstreeter]

Well done, Shogo! I'm so impressed! (BTW, did you notice that you left the lorum ipsum placeholder text in your 'part 2' transition graphic? Oops!)

[@youngimperialistmkii]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful music culture with us.

[@TheRealMrCods]

Great video Shogo, very happy for you.

[@askedwardtmi9118]

I hope to be in japan from 16 of March to 6 of April really hope I can see wagakki band live. if not I will still have my jr pass. love your videos keep up the great work we really love you and your family and wish you all the best.

[@juliop1769]

Very beautiful performance!

[@perellop909]

All Wagakki members have a great stage presence and I love them all. But I must admit once Daisuke starts playing and making his trade-mark moves all around... ... I cannot take my eyes out of him. I guess I'm not the only one

[@saindex8390]

OMG Kaminaga Daisuke from my favorite band 😭

[@TheCyberMantis]

Wow! This is amazing! You made a video with Kaminaga-san! I love Wagakki Band! I must go watch part 2 now! ( Please make a video with Yuko, if you can! ) 🥺🙏🏼

[@shibalikdhara7123]

senbonzakuraaaa yoru ni magire, I see this talented man performing on stage with Wagaki Band , Jumping around in his Iconic style 🎤

[@1982pros]

Talk about contrast 😁 , about 2 min finding this video, I was listen to slipknot - wait and bleed, and now listning to sensei shogo and master kaminaga daisuke 🙏

[@flapper_girll]

I love Wagakkiband💕💕

[@revdupartist9386]

You duet with him was beautiful.

[@rachelgohlman3582]

The shakuhachi is the voice of the soul.

[@davidmiller9485]

Adam Neely has a friend who plays the shakuhachi and he goes over how they write the music and it's fascinating.

[@travelerarchon2543]

[@arthurrobey4945]

You have succeeded.

[@TimothySielbeck]

Very nice.
