Watch Wagakki Band's 1st Japan tour Homura + Akasuki no Ito. Also their collaborations with Amy Lee!!!

[@exile9119]

This concert was held in an arena class for the first time in the corona, while entertainment was mostly canceled in Japan due to the influence of corona, and after taking many measures ourselves and asking the audience to take measures as well. I was deeply moved by their thought that "no matter what happens, the day of entertainment will never end", their sense of responsibility, and their deep thoughtfulness.

About Wagakki Band instruments "WA" means Japan. "GAKKI" is an instrument. *WAGAKKI-BAND uses 4 types of WAGAKKI. ---------------- Many Japanese musical instruments have a history of over 1000 years. Despite the passage of time, it can be said that the characteristic of Japanese musical instruments is that the shape of the instrument and the method of playing have not changed much since its birth. This is in contrast to European instruments, which have constantly improved and evolved their instruments. (1) "KOTO" (a large, flat instrument about 6 feet) The ancestors of "KOTO" came to Japan from China about 1300 years ago. The body is made of fine paulownia wood. The wavy grooves engraved on the back of the body make the sound resonate. The strings are made of silk thread. Players attach nails called "KOTOZUME" to their fingertips and pluck the strings. A standard koto has 13 strings. A 17-string koto is also used, but WAGAKKI-BAND's IBUKURO plays the largest 25-string koto. Of course, playing requires the highest level of talent. (2) "Shamisen" (a banjo-like instrument) Generally, the "shamisen" is used as an accompaniment instrument for quiet, light songs. (Current ballads, light pop-like songs) But BENI from WAGAKKI-BAND plays a special shamisen called "Tsugaru Shamisen". "Tsugaru-jamisen" has a faster and more powerful sound and a unique performance style compared to ordinary shamisen. The reason why this style was created is thought to be that TSUGARU-SHAMISEN was born in the extremely cold region of northern Japan. The socially vulnerable (mainly the visually impaired) living in a harsh natural environment earned income by having people listen to their songs and performances, protecting their own lives. They created this striking and unique musical style. The shamisen is played with special claws called BACHI. The three strings are silk threads. Dog skin is used for the shamisen body sheet (cat skin is used for some instruments that require delicate sounds). It seems that there are many cases. (3) “Wadaiko” "WA (Japan)" + "TAIKO (drums)" = "WATAIKO". And the pronunciation changes from "WATAIKO" to "WADAIKO". Wadaiko, like Shamisen, has evolved uniquely throughout Japan, and has a variety of shapes and playing methods. There is a band called "Kodo" which is famous as a taiko group in Japan. They tour the world with Japanese taiko performances. If you are interested in WADAIKO, we recommend listening to Kodo performances. There are also many videos uploaded on KZbin. (4) "SHAKUHACHI" (a flute-like bamboo instrument) Until about 60 to 70 years ago, in Japan, units of length called "Shaku" and "Sun" were used. ("sun" sounds like a shortened version of "soon") 1-shaku = 30.3 cm (it just happens to be the same as 1 foot). 1-sun = 3.03 cm. "Hachi" is the number "8". And the average length of "SHAKUHACHI" was "1-shaku and 8-sun (about 56 cm)", so the "shaku and 8" part became the name of the instrument. The material is cut from the base of bamboo. It is a simple structure that only requires the necessary finger holes after drying the material and removing distortion. It is not easy to produce complex sounds with a simple instrument. Shakuhachi is said to be one of the most difficult Japanese instruments to master. There is a Japanese word for this. ``Kubifuri-3nen Colo-8nen''・・・This means ``You can control the intensity of the sound by subtly moving your head and neck. It takes eight years of training to be able to control and produce a good sound.” ---------- from Japan *It is a sentence using Google translation. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.

1:19 The name of the instrument is Koto　=琴

Grooving in the chat was awesome on this on Biss ^^ Thanks for reacting to my request ^^

[@hero-pjapan5514]

Wagakki Band was the official band of the Tokyo Olympic

[@TheCyberMantis]

We never saw them on the Tokyo Olympics. I was upset about that. It would have been the perfect opportunity for the world to see them.

[@howardbrown911]

@@TheCyberMantis So very sad that the world missed this chance to see them. Today everyone would know their name if it had happened.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Wagakki Band has no equal anywhere in the world. "Senbonzakura" means "a thousand cherry trees". Such a fun uplifting song... until you read the lyrics! The lyrics are pretty bizarre. I recommend you watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6uvY6Zmhauab9k

[@kevinlane7555]

The zither like instrument is Koto, the banjo like one is a Shamisen....both are challenging to play properly....Beni, the shamisen player is Really good....The traditional percussion is Taiko drums...My hat is off to their live soundman for being able to get a proper balance of acoustic and electric instruments at high volume

[@jambomielonen4688]

Well, if you want to do another, I'll throw couple of suggestions - Ikusa kzbin.info/www/bejne/inLWepWPfrWMr9k Hangeki no yaiba kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYS0aK1jmceVgdU Both have cc/lyrics.

[@yorii2103]

Yes both of this songs is great 👍 recommended to listen and watch

[@jeremysanderson9673]

The instrument is the Koto, there is also a shamisen (3 stringed banjo) player and a shakuhachi (Japanese flute) player. “Wagakki” (和楽器) literally means “Japanese Instruments”.

[@mackowalk2456]

"The thousand cherry blossoms" I consider as the best song of Wagakki Band. Thank You so much for reaction to it! :)

[@icalumnos2565]

If you liked Kurona (the Taiko drummer) you might want to see the live version of "Appare Ga Seigi". The guy doesn't hit a single drum throught the whole song but he lifts up the mood and dances really funny. He's the final touch to this band's flavor!

[@RobinC63]

The instrument you wondered about is the Koto. The Chinese version is Guzheng and the Korean version is Gayageum.

[@BangGiok]

and the indonesian called kecapi

[@БогданЛевада-я7с]

Also, Mongolian version called 'Yatga' and Vietnam Đan Tranh, and Kazakh 'Zhetigen'

[@DaveJonesVideo]

The blonde drummer plays the classic western style drum set used by most rock bands, plus a large gong. The dark haired drummer plays the more traditional Japanese drums, generically called Taiko (which simply means "drum"). The different sizes and shapes each have names, but for westerners it's easier to just lump them all together as Taiko.

[@henriquechapisco]

Wagakki Band 和楽器バンド Is a Japanese band that combines rock music with wagakki (traditional Japanese musical instruments) and shigin (Japanese poems reciting art) Their early songs were adapted from Vocaloid recordings but they have since written their own original music. They start in 2013. Yuko Suzuhana - vocals Kiyoshi Ibukuro - koto (tradicional japanese harp) Daisuke Kaminaga - shakuhachi (tradicional japanese flute) Beni Ninagawa - shamisen (tradicional japanese banjo) Kurona - daiko (tradicional japanese drums) Machiya - guitar and vocals Asa - bass Wasabi - drums

[@BisscuteReacts]

They are amazing ❤

[@henriquechapisco]

@@BisscuteReacts I would love for you to one day react to a kpop group that mixes rock elements, Dreamcatcher. Their sound and voices are really good and their clips too. I recommend to start reacting to Deja Vu (partnership with a game) and Endless Night (in Japanese). All of their songs would easily be anime openings or game and movie soundtracks. I sincerely believe that you will love.

That instrument is a Japanese koto.. the banjo looking instrument is a shamisen & the recorder type instrument is a shakuhachi & big drums are taiko drums (or odaiko) 🎶

[@Snarkhunter98]

Knowing your love of anime, I wanted to suggest doing a reaction to LiSa "Gurenge" - The First Take. That song is the opening to Demon Slayer / Kimetsu no Yaiba and it's pretty great.

[@Short_Round1999]

I strongly second this suggestion

[@drifknight96]

there is so much more from wagakki band you should see

[@howardbrown911]

Right now they are the greatest rock band in the world. I'm seventy and I love this band! If you wish, you should check out their "Humora" and "Akatsuki no Ito" combination from a 2015 concert. Their live performances are amazing.
