I get excited each and every time I watch this. Even I can feel the rapid blow flow and adrenaline to seeing such an amazing performance, especially in a battle between two mesmerizing and powerful instruments: The Koto and Shamisen. Cheers to the most beautifully powerful country and culture in the world 🇯🇵
I purchased this album after viewing this video. I bought it of of amazon. Paid $40 after import fees and shipping. The album is called "Tsugaru Fusion" by Shinichi Kinoshita. This song "Raikou" is 12 minutes and some change long on the album. This is the short version. I highly recommend this album it will blow you away!
I've drummed for many years and this is the best drummer relationship to melody I've seen. The drums are tuned in exactly to the shamisen. Every note the taiko drummer performs is has meaning. Most drum solos are just noise to me but this is a melodic drummer. Thank You Thank you Thank You for posting!!!!
c'mon, people! Don't you know the difference between a duel and a duet? Gosh, these guys are playing together! (and it sounds REAAAAAAAAAAALLY cool!!) Love it! Thanks for posting it!
As an American, this type of music seems to speak to me. Almost like every song is a story from an aging warrior who is describing his feats and accomplishments on the battlefield before he passes away. It ignites something in my soul, a “flame of humanity”, if you will. I have very much been interested in the teachings of Bushidō and Miyamoto Musashi since I was a child, and not in a weeaboo way either. This music is passionate and inspires one’s sense of dignity and pride to rise to the surface
Aah thank you very much! :D Yoshida Brothers was exactly what I was looking for, actually ^^ (similarity between their music and the tracks 'Bunta' and 'Jiraiya's theme' from Naruto is great :D)
Search for a drummer's name on Apple Music and you'll find a couple of their collab albums: Shuichi Hidano Shamisen player name is spelled on Apple Music as Shin'ichi Kinoshita
Shamisen (3 strings) is Shin-ichi Kinoshita （木下伸市）（木乃下真市） Wa-daiko (taiko) is Hiroshi Motofuji （茂戸藤浩司） ＊ Name of the song is " Thunder Lights " （rai koh ) （雷光）
He plays so many notes very smoothly, some people would feel restricted with only 3 strings as opposed to a western style guitar with 6 to 12 strings, but this guy is musical genius. Shalom-
It is funny how so many people ask everday where I got my shamisen from.. I just tell them the truth.. You can only get one from japan or okinawa. Shmisen or shamsen which originated in China, brought to Okinawa and then from there main land japan. but just like the taiko, shamisen, koto biwa are all south east asia in origin. So all there history and culture and legends are performed with these instruments like any folk music
¡ Mis mejores aplausos ! Escuchar dos instrumentos tradicionales, respetando sus sonidos particulares y combinándolos con ritmos rápidos más modernos que la tradición, pero con respeto. ¡ Qué hermosa música !
The large tuning pegs are for leverage. They are friction pegs and turned by grabbing the peg with your whole fist, so they have to be as big as your hand. You wouldn't be able to turn a friction peg with just two fingers like you can a geared peg.
The drummer is defo Hiroshi Motofuji. I met him on two occasions in London at the Royal Academy of Music where he was teaching for the AMC Summer School! His peformance in August 2006 at the RAM was taiko with Chinese erhu (two-stringed fiddle, played by Hu Bin) which was amazing!
So cool. Great Tsugaru flavor. I did not know them but shamisen player seems to be also composer of this piece. His name reads Shinichi Kinoshita and the drummer, Hiroshi Motofuji. Thank you for sharing. The title reads "Raikou (Lightning)".
I think the taiko drummer is Hiroshi Motofuji-san. His style is so obvious, I saw his performance in Singapore last year with his taiko group (Motofuji's), very interesting and entertaining. He's the one who play taiko drum in ost. Ghost in the Shell (collaboration with Kenji Kawai). Yes, the shamisen player is Shinichi Kinoshita-san, the legendary. Thx for uploading their "battle". Very nice performance, as nice as the one I see "battle" between Koto and Taiko.

I saw this video also 14 years ago in college. Now I have my own Shamisen, traveled to Japan, and still never get tired of this sound.
46 turned their laptop upsidedown to like this again
+Daniel watts the number changes. So it may have gone from 46 to 56 and now it is 59.
I was screaming throughout this performance because of all the passion they had put into creating this astonishing piece
このお二人のライブには何度も行きましたが、本当にすごかったです❤

this doesn't seem like a 'VS." to me, they are accompanying each other not dueling.
Taiko x Shamisen. In Japanese, against and with, together and opposite use the same word.
@@SaurianSavior you've got a point
Vs always doesn't mean you have grudge or dueling. It can mean contrast of 2 melodies.
you can take this as an comparison of instruments Taiko vs Shamisen on the same music
I've never heard anything more in sync! Amazing!

Music, after level Epic, there is the very final level: Japan
so very tru
hahaha soooo true
1:00 Golden confetti rains from the gods
2:38
Drummer turns on the SWAG
lol lmbo
Only traditional music instrument can be found as an ultimate tool for any expression. This masterpiece is once of a kind
Yeah. It's basically the Asian banjo
@@ItsRyan265 the banjo really isn’t that important in western music. The acoustic guitar is a closer comparison
Such a treasure I found!
I remember watching this nonstop when I was 3. Super nostalgic
love the way both of them headbang towards the end. perfect synchronisation!!! really love this video.
c'mon, people! Don't you know the difference between a duel and a duet? Gosh, these guys are playing together! (and it sounds REAAAAAAAAAAALLY cool!!)
Love it! Thanks for posting it!
Very good! It's an amazing drive. These guys are pretty superb!
They sync so well! Love it!
The best timing I have come across thus far ...
It is soooo good. As a Japanese, I think we should let other countries know about this great instrument of ours!
As an Indian I already know . Waggaki music is love ❤

PURE EPICNESS! Kinoshita san Rules!
Great musicians, great sincronism. Hope someday I can be as good as them, or at least the better I can be.
Great ♫!
Shamisen (Shinichi Kinoshita) vs Taiko (Hiroshi Motofuji)
Kobi Gerassi Thank you!
Simply Fantastic!
Awesome!
Beautiful instrument!
This is not a battle this is harmony
SO DAMN GOOD!!!! so natural and simple sounds and yet so wonderful music
Bueno de hecho mis dos tres instrumentos musicales preferidos son el shamisen, el didgeridoo y la viola da gamba
well. that was something new. i've heard OF a shamisen, but have never actually heard or seen one played before. thank you.
This invokes the feeling of a high-tempo horse chase, possibly through the woods at night with a full moon.
Brilliant! I love the sound of this kind of music so much!
That's magnificant, these guys are pretty brilliant. I like this very much!

This is beyond cool. There isn't enough words to describe it. Epic music. Just. Epic.
The way they both nod their heads almost at the end... *w*
no versus but featuring! ^^
am i the only one who thinks of a chase scene in a bamboo jungle
+Keaton Toole No.
not alone this time fam, I have saved you
We’ve found the naruto fans
I think of running away from a tsunami.
I workout listening to this music. Lol
Wow!! Those are some very talented musicians, their sense of timing is incredible!
Quiero tocar este hermoso y melodioso instrumento de solo tres cuerdas
2:39 was the best
The very best.
What amazing control and timing!!!
@darkcomet i think the 39 guys accidentally used to hit the wrong button... This is just an awesome video!
Incredible! Amazing timing these guys have!
hey thanks for the upload
the shamisen player is called Shinichi Kinoshita.
He plays it so nice.
:)
I love this. it makes me feel relaxed but energized at the same time. Im glad I live in Japan.
Beautiful music. Thank you Mr.Kinoshita and Mr.Motofuji.
thanks for sharing. very contemporany. beautiful bright of the shamisen over the deep darknes of the taiko drums.
respect!
He plays so many notes very smoothly, some people would feel restricted with only 3 strings as opposed to a western style guitar with 6 to 12 strings, but this guy is musical genius. Shalom-
Oh my God!!! Simply outstanding!!!! I am dying to visit back Japan once more!!!!

Truly beautiful and powerful. I too would love to get a copy of this music.
the fact that this video is 14 years old make me feel fucking old omg
just simply amazing.
that's what I thought... they are so syncronised that actually they are not fighting or something similar...
this is awesome! subarashii!
Gets me hyped and ready for the lunch rush at work 😎
Amazing video! adding to favs
So desu ne! It's usually that fact in regards to that, and that they're still moving forward as to improving life everywhere.
Arigato
3 snares and so much sound unbelievable!
this is one of my favorite taiko involved videos
¡ Mis mejores aplausos !

I really enjoy this, in my country there are many concerts with Taiko and Shamisen (Tanabata Matsuri), great!!!
WOW!
This is beautiful, lovely ^_^
Mind blown.
the talented man who play shamisen is called: Shinichi kinoshita(木下伸市) .
u can google & find out more about him.
or his site: kinoshitashinichi
I LOVE the sound of the Shamisen. I wish I could obtain one, they're SO expensive and almost a rarity nowadays.
excellent
I love this instrument. It's like the Japanese banjo
Well it kinda is. They both have drum acoustics and have same neck length
>USA
@ling ling zhang lmao no, nips are NOT honorary Aryans, but nice try weeb
i like this kind of music pretty much...so great stuff!!! :)
Amazing. Just amazing.
I need one of those Shamisen things.
The drummer is defo Hiroshi Motofuji. I met him on two occasions in London at the Royal Academy of Music where he was teaching for the AMC Summer School! His peformance in August 2006 at the RAM was taiko with Chinese erhu (two-stringed fiddle, played by Hu Bin) which was amazing!

Whoa I like it. The Shamisen and Taiko melody is very energetic. Nice ^^
damn i cant stop to hear that sound thats awsome!!!!
That was sick!
AWESOME !!!!!!
Did some research about the artists who are playing this song:
on Shamisen: Shinichi Kinoshita
on Taiko: Hiroshi Motofuji
what a wonderful rhythm...wow
mind blowing yo
Mr Kinoshita came to Panama in august 2002. I talked with him, good person and good musician.
This is so cool, I love the song.
I think the taiko drummer is Hiroshi Motofuji-san. His style is so obvious, I saw his performance in Singapore last year with his taiko group (Motofuji's), very interesting and entertaining.

You know that Family Guy Episode where Peter wishes for theme music whenever he's walking around?? This is what I'd pick :)
I'm not sure some didn't.
Damn good evil demon fighting music. Pretty sure I am a real samurai as long as I hear this :)
