I'll never forget how i had a project in music class and i presented the koto with this video and i got an A+ because my teacher was so in love with the performance and sound. He even did more research and would let me know how he was thinking of getting one 😂😆
Since I saw a woman playing koto in Japan, i'm fascinated by that sound. I can't wait to see it again there. Amazing country, amazing culture, amazing food, and koto was the cherry on top.
When I performed this song it was a 6 minute version her control and speed with the tempo is how a professional level player should do it and her dynamic playing added to the complexity. You don’t realize what it takes to get to this level unless you try the instrument yourself, this was a masterful performance ❤
An instrument I like from the first time I heard it played. I still enjoy it very much today and particularly by this young woman here who has done a beautiful job at mastering of an instrument that is capable of so much beautiful. Thank you very much
Well said!! I highly agree with you. There are a lot of Koto pieces out there like this one and for some reason they haven't gotten a lot of exposure. This is what the Koto world was like around the 1930's and 40's. This is "Tegoto" by Michio miyagi (1947) and it's phenomenal. This is the same guy who modified the Koto to what we now call the "juishichigen" or the 17-stringed base koto to give the koto a wider range of tanalities. He is considered the father of modern Koto music.
Zack Gomez I took a music in world cultures paper last year, I loved it! I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you get an opportunity to play some of the many Japanese instruments available (and instruments of other parts of the world!)
This is actually authentic Japanese music. A lot of "Japanese music" on RUclips is really bad New Age and Nail SPA music played with synthesizer and missing all important real elements of traditional Japanese instruments and motifs.
StopFear dude there is a lot of modern music that is authentic Japanese music, I play a 13 strong koto and it’s not as special as it seems it’s a 2,000 year old instrument which is cool and all but it’s not the only authentic music of japan, I live in japan and jpop is just as authentic they have huge concerts in baseball stadiums that are jpop so don’t be calling this authentic and music such as Jpop not
The technique is exquisite, the timing perfect, the melody vibrant and the player's own charm just adds another dimension. A delight for both senses, visual and hearing.
Imagine a western boy, and because of something he saw he decided to search Koto on youtube.Then he was magnified by this performance. I really loved the melody and I'm really happy this was my first Koto music I heard!
Traditional music & awesome performances lovers... watch it ! Thumbs up & thanks for sharing this musical moment... throughout this outstanding, elegant performance ...

DMDD indeed! ^_^
I have come back to this video many times over the years and it never gets old.

OH so THAT's the instrument that makes the lovely sound.

SICK RIFF AT 3:44
Awesome, she plays like a human midi-sequencer.
lol
No machine can beat human talent.
She's not that in-time. Besides, performers really need to be more musical in their playing than just being in time, even during marches.
Wow. Saying that someone 'plays like a midi sequencer' is the ultimate antithesis of 'awesome' so…
not being perfectly in time is what makes music alive...
Thanks to you, the viewing of has exceeded 1 million!
I look forward to working with you.
Awww I love the beautiful melody of the Koto
Beyond amazing!!! And it's my first time hearing this instrument :)
I'm reading a manga about koto. Now I know what they sound like.
I know exactly what manga you mean, but i can't remember the name of it :(
Mango Sky It's called Kono Oto Tomare. I had to search my list for the title.
Yes! That's it, thank you so much :)
Mango Sky No problem :)

this is just beautiful, there's just something about the way it sounds

Its a funny joke. Y u so serious for hour now?
Re-discovering the sound of the Koto after many years, stunning.
Rediscover it again.
That was beautiful, well done ,she shreds :D
Bamboo tree surviving a strong typhoon. Thats what I can imagine. Great performance!

I am learning about the music of Japan in my music in world cultures class. The koto instrument is very interesting.

The 2nd verse of ELP's "Still, You Turn Me On" features a Koto playing an ascending stuccato line in the mix.
