Wagakki Band is one of the best Japanese groups out there. They combine traditional Japanese instruments and vocal styles with modern rock, metal, jazz, and more. All eight members are master level musicians; and their lead singer, the very elegant Yuko Suzuhana, is the best female Japanese vocalist I have heard. This particular song does not do justice to the beauty, power, and range of her amazing voice. In my experience, Wagakki Band is the only other Japanese group that comes anywhere close to BabyMetal in international popularity. The video for their song Senbonsakura had more views that Gimme Chocolate for a very long time. Wagakki Band is even better live, as their stage shows are musical extravaganzas that rival the very best BabyMetal concerts.
Beni plays a Tsugaru-style Futozao (Thick Neck Size) Shamisen.The sharp, flashy style of tsugaru was played in the streets by the bousama (blind musicians) who developed a more lively style. Blind musicians at the beginning of the 20th century, including Shirakawa Gunpachiro Takahashi Chikuzan and sighted players like Kida Rinshoei developed a new style of play,based on traditional folk songs ("min'yo"),but with a lot Improvisation and eye-catching finger work. This style - known as Tsugaru-Jamisen, after the native region in northern Honshu - is relatively popular today in Japan. The virtuoso tsugaru jamisen style is sometimes compared to bluegrass banjo. The classic pick is called Bachi.
The koto is a Japanese zither and the national instrument of Japan.The bamboo flute is called a shakuhachi and the second drum kit is a wadeiko The singer's very broad vibrato is typical of Shigin,a traditional poem concert style.Suzuhana Yuko, the singer of the Wagakki Band began studying the piano at age three and shigin from age five. She graduated from the Tokyo College of Music’s Piano Program. Yuko is currently active as a shigin instructor, singer-songwriter, and pianist. The style of dance that Yuko performs is called Kenshibu ('Sword and Poetry Dance') This is a category of Japanese interpretive dances performed to traditional music with poetry.
Kenbu refers to dances that are performed with the help of a sword.and Shibu dance with one or more hand fans called Sensu / Ogi (folding fans).Kenbu or a sword dance refers in a broad sense to dancing holding a sword. Originally it refers to dancing especially to shigin (a form of Japanese poetry, which is usually chanted) with a sword drawn.
The origin is from samurai. In the early Meiji period, Raifu HIBINO (originator of the Shinto school) organized the conventional dancing styles into the current ones by introducing some styles of swordplay.Singing and dancing are performed basically by different persons. The number of performers varies; sometimes one singer and one dancer, but often one singer and two or more dancers. There are no specific costumes for singers, but dancers wear a hakama (divided skirt for men), shiro-tasuki (white sash for holding up tucked sleeves), and shiro-hachimaki (white headband) to express the emotion of the poem.In some dances a fan is used along with a sword.
Dancing to shigin with a fan only is called Senbu (literally, "fan dance") or Shimai (literally, "poetry dance"). Kenbu and Senbu can together be called Kensenbu (sword and fan dancing)
The mask that Machiya wears is based on the Noe Theater, popular in Japan. Masks are an essential part of the Japanese Noe theater whilst the actors of the Japanese kabuki theater perform without masks. .
Nailed it!
What an awesome reaction, Randi! Your pronounced the name correctly. :) This was excellently done, with your usual thoughtfulness, observations, thoroughness and intelligence! :) The 3 stringed traditional Japanese banjo is called a shamisen. The band was put together by the (literally) brilliant singer, Yuko Suzuhana, who has a degree in Asian chanting poetry and is also a sword expert, and is a major part of the band's songwriting as well. The outfit is a kimono. A great and very interesting band, and I couldn't be happier with your reaction and analysis! :)
@@ironmidi8163 , great comment! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! 😎👍🤟
@@ironmidi8163 , by the way, this is not my "normal" main sound or genre either, but they are good enough to transcend those genre preferences. I myself am typically into doom metal. :)
@@ironmidi8163 , here's something cool you might like. :) This band is a trio from the north eastern US. The lead guitar player is also the singer, Krista van Guilder. ruclips.net/video/YgNa29aYBMA/видео.html
@@ironmidi8163 , your English is excellent! I'm very glad you enjoyed it! (They are the best doom band around.) This is in my plans for asking for a reaction coming soon also! :)
@@ironmidi8163 , you are awesome! Yes, I agree with everything you said! And Randi is definitely in a special category of thoughtful, humble open minded and intelligent reactors, which makes her opinions and channel very entertaining and very interesting to watch. Definitely my favorite! 😎👍
Wagakki is a common name for Japanese traditional instruments.
You can never go wrong with this band all songs are good and no two are alike.
Machiya uses a "Noh" mask with two expressions, he looks down the mask is happy, he looks up the mask is angry.
Shigin singer Yuko Suzuhana, Shakuhachi player Daisuke Kaminaga and koto player Kiyoshi Ibukuro played together in Hanafugetsu.
Yuko had a dream of a bigger rock / metal band.
WGB started in 2012 and their first album Vocalo Zanmai which consisted of VOCALOID songs was released in 2014. They later wrote their own songs.
They have released 5 albums and two EPs
I recommend Ignite, Queen of the night, Hotarubi and Bring me to life with Amy Lee as a special guest at Premium Symphonic Night Vol.2 Live & Orchestra in Osaka-Jo Hall 2020
Watch for Amy Lee coming up soon, Doc; and also don't forget Sunwheel! :)
Oh Randi, I've seeing their videos in thumb nail but always past them by. I truly didn't expect anything this big. By big, I mean So many artists with such a vast cross section of instruments. All the usual rock band stuff, guitars, bass, drums, and so on, and then there's Japanese traditional folk instruments as well. And together, we have music like nothing else on earth. A doesn't it work well too. The square "banjo" type instrument, war double fascinating by the fact that the girl playing it was using some type of hammer or drumstick with too.
When it first started. I wondered where we were going. A dark ominous feeling sweeping through the area, as if a vile smelling wind was carrying in the foulest of storms. And then, like a gentle fresh breeze, the music was all sweet smelling air from across a meadow of fragrant summer flowers. And kept the light air right throughout. Very interesting.
Isn't that type of dress called a "Kimono"?
Good comments, Gtaham! Good taste as usual! :) Yes, that's a kimono; and the guitarist's mask is a Noh mask. (See my comment for more explanation.) :)
Cell phones are not allowed at Japanese concerts.
They get glow sticks instead.
