Top Japanese guitarists compilation

I had a lot of fun making this video

[@chrisistopher]

0:00 - 1:38 Akira from Loudness 1:38 - 2:20 I believe that's Takayoshi Ohmura 2:20 - 4:00 Hide from X Japan 4:00 - 5:35 Sugizo and Pata from X Japan 5:35 - 6:43 Syu from Galneryus 6:43 till the end Hide and Pata from X Japan

[@Holiss]

band named LOUDNESS ;-)

[@micahclark24]

This’ll be a long comment : The first one is Akira from loudness they’re a super old school band that formed in 1981 and opened for a US band at Madison square garden in 1985 and went on a sold out U.S Tour they’re the first ever Japanese band to sign to a major U.S label and the first ever in the U.S billboard 100 but after the hair metal era ended and the grunge movement started they lost their foothold in the United States and Akira has focused more on his guitar company I’ve seen Tak Matsumoto from B’Z endorsing his guitars and B’Z Is the best selling band in Japanese History by a pretty huge margin so Akira’s company is doing pretty well another interesting fact is the bass Taiji used to use in X Japan was hand made by Akira also I should have had more guitarists in this video and and made it a bit longer

[@cpamiseso]

[@TyTyman8]

What is name of the first song by Loudness ?

[@mctransportation9831]

Is this recent? Is rock still played by young people in Japan?

[@larsulrich7413]

I don't live in Japan, but I've heard from multiple sources that rock is still alive and strong in Japan. A lot of popular music there is rock.

[@ayoluca1]

Yep, the commercial ones

[@thenewyears]

@Micah Clark im thinking of making an osu! map with this audio i just need ur consent is it ok?

[@micahclark24]

I don’t think you need my permission none of it is mine to begin with I just edited the videos together

[@robertocaldeira5875]

I have one doubt: are there girls and women between these nice guitar players? Sometimes, it's hard to distinguish.

[@micahclark24]

There’s none in this video but there are plenty of amazing female Japanese guitarists

[@drazzle6267]

Tis doesn't sound like the guitar i play😅

[@carolinab5592]

Why are the amazing female japanese guitar players not on this list?

[@kevingagne8266]

I found the 1980's...its in Japan.

[@abraxian7090]

So are these like dudes? Or ghosts?

[@shadowfox1609]

Japanese music is so tame compared to American music

[@o0...957]

Lel

[@OZErick47]

Tame ?..... It depends how you regard the depth of playing beside speed and shredding...... Overall the tones are sort of generic even though it is very good technically...... A few guitarist have a specific way of achieving sounds richness, sound space while having the chops as as well...... Terje Rypdal for one exceptional musical player combining depth of composition, arrangements and production...... Japan is very gifted even if the American contingent has its stars.....

[@ruthiermoskito949]

Obviously japan is better and somewhat they don't to be famous around the world, i their own country they were successful

[@MarshallCross]

@@africandance2883 that's not true and just pure spread of hate speech. actually, many k-pop fans used to be j-rock fans, (especially fans born in the 90s who're not millenials /gen Z) and k-pop artists even release japanese singles
