Unfortunately, the person who recommended Senbonzakura might not have known that Amy Lee wouldn't come on until the end. I saw another comment prior to this that said that Amy Lee had practiced the Japanese lyrics with Yuko, the lead vocalist for Wagakki Band, and Yuko told her to come out if she felt comfortable enough. And she did, and did a great job. The song you really want to react to from this concert is the new arrangement of Bring Me To Life that was produced by Machiya, the guitarist from Wagakki Band, who is a great composer in his own right. This arrangement is the most beautiful rendition of Bring Me To Life that I have ever heard and Amy said it might be her most favorite also. Wagakki Band is a true supergroup of the type we saw with Cream, Led Zeppelin, Power Station and Blind Faith. Their inclusion of traditional Japanese instruments with modern rock instruments was a stroke of genius. If you would like to, check out and react to Wagakki Band's video of Homura and Akatsuki No Ito from their initial Japan Tour in 2015. It will give you a good idea of how exceptional they are.
An amazing performance for a very talented band. 🖖❤
Here's another vote to watch Bring Me To Life, from this same concert, performed with Amy Lee (for the whole song, not just a bit at the end). Be careful, there is a clip floating around that is a shortened version of that song, which ends prematurely. Be sure to do the full version. That version of the song is mind blowing
Thank you for your reaction to this beautiful concert. Thiago can't get his smile of his face😀. He likes Pokemon and collects the cards. Evanescence is still very active and last year november we saw them together with Within Temptation. Awesome concert. A moment of love at 07:12 when Kyle glances at Alanna, while she's on another planet😘
Next stop, please react to Bring Me to Life from the same concert. (also with Amy) 🙂
The orchestra really brings up the performance. They had to have had so much fun that night. Violin players don't usually get to rock, you know? And then an entire orchestra holding that note at the end.
So much fun.
Great reaction. :) Wagakki Band is very unique band. If you want to something what you can't hear in typical western bands, please react to something from Visual Kei movement, there are some theatrical elements in vocals, expression and behavior, Visual Kei is also fashion, both were created in early 80s by band X Japan as way of showing people that you can be different, you can showing your emotions and telling about difficult topics and it's ok. Japanese people are known of not showing what they really think and feel, it was even more like that, it was somethinh bad to be different, everyone was the same, that was what they were thinking is ok. Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understans what I mean... Please react to band The Gazette and their songs "Dim Scene" and "バレッタ" (Baretta) from 2014 live tour, there are videos with english subs, lyrics are very important. I hope you will react to it. :)
About Wagakki Band's instruments
"WA" means Japan. "GAKKI" is a musical instrument.
*4 types of WAGAKKI are used in WAGAKKI-BAND.
----------------
Many Japanese musical instruments have a history of over 1000 years. One of the characteristics of Japanese musical instruments is that, despite the passage of time, the shapes and playing methods of the instruments have not changed much since their inception. This is in contrast to European instruments, which were constantly improving and evolving their instruments.
(1) "KOTO" (a large, flat instrument about 6 feet long)
The ancestors of "KOTO" came to Japan from China about 1,300 years ago. The body is made of high-density paulownia wood. Similar to stringed instruments such as violins, the sound resonates through the wavy grooves carved inside the body. The strings are made of silk thread. The performer plays the strings with a nail called ``KOTOZUME'' on his fingertip. A standard koto uses 13 strings. A 17-string koto is also used, but WAGAKKI-BAND's IBUKURO plays the largest 25-string KOTO.
(2) “Shamisen” (banjo-like instrument)
In general, the shamisen is often used as an accompaniment instrument for ballads and pop-style traditional songs. However, WAGAKKI-BAND's BENI plays a special version of the shamisen called the "Tsugaru Shamisen." The Tsugaru shamisen has a faster, more powerful sound and a unique performance style than other shamisen.
The reason this style was created is related to the fact that TSUGARU-SHAMISEN was born in the extremely cold region of northern Japan. Visually impaired people living in harsh natural environments earned income and saved their lives by singing and performing for others. They have created this unique musical style that is exciting and shocking.
The shamisen is played using a special claw called a BACHI. The three strings are silk threads. I think the sheets that cover the body of the shamisen are now often made of synthetic leather. However, dog skin is originally used (sometimes performers who require a delicate sound may use shamisen made of thinner cat skin).
(3) “Japanese drum”
"WA (Japan)" + "TAIKO (drum)" = "WATAIKO". Then, the pronunciation changes from "WATAIKO" to "WADAIKO".
Like Shamisen, ``Wadaiko'' has evolved uniquely in various parts of Japan, and there are various shapes and playing methods.
There is a band called ``Kodo'' that is famous as a Japanese drumming group. They perform Japanese drum performance tours all over the world. If you are interested in WADAIKO, we recommend that you listen to Kodo perform. Many videos are also uploaded to RUclips. Try searching for "KODO".
(4) “SHAKUHACHI” (bamboo instrument like flute)
Until about 60 to 70 years ago, units of length called "Shaku" and "Sun" were used in Japan. (The pronunciation of "sun" sounds like a contraction of "soon")
"1-shaku" is 30.3cm. "1-sun" is 3.03cm. "Hachi" is the numerical value "8". The average length of "SHAKUHACHI" was "1-shaku and 8-sun (approximately 56 cm)", so the "shaku and 8" part became the name of the instrument.
The material is cut from the base of bamboo. It has a simple structure, just dry the material, remove distortion, and then drill the necessary finger holes.
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 learn. There is a word in Japanese that expresses this.
"It takes three years of practice to control the intensity of sound by subtly moving the head and neck."
and
"It takes eight years of training to be able to control your fingers accurately and produce good sounds."

*This is a text using Google Translate. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.
In fact, this was the last song of that concert. I recommend that you react to Bring Me To Life from this same show. Amy Lee was featured on a song they did together called "Sakura Rising."
That instrument that looks like a banjo is called shamisen (or Tsugaru-shamisen), the one that looks slightly like a zither is called koto and the flute is called shakuhachi. 😁
I love that Wagakki Band blends rock/metal music with japanese traditional instruments so well and their music is always so uplifting. I absolutely love their arrangement for Bring Me To Life and their latest album is really amazing.
Love your reactions!
Also, I think the "Lee" from the Amy Lee comes from Ireland iirc. 😊
And let's not forget Kurona on the Wadaiko, traditional Japanese drums. He and Wasabi, the rock drummer, perform together in perfect harmony.
@@mikeat2637 yep, you're right they're amazing.
@@TheRuanEll I've been following them for about 5 years now and just missed out on seeing them when they were in the US in 2019. There is no one out there that has their proficiency in mixing modern and traditional instruments. And Yuko Suzuhana is the best unknown superstar on the planet. She has very few peers talent-wise.
@@mikeat2637 Oh, that's too bad :/
I'm always hoping they get more recognition outside of Japan so they can come to this side of the world more often. Yuko's vocal style is so, so beautiful to me, her shigin technique is pure magic!
Great reaction. I love Wagakki band and LOVEBITES. Please react to the live "和楽器バンドWagakki Band / Bring Me To Life with Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE" of Wagakki Band. This is so good!
This was from Wagakki Bnd Premium Symphonic Night Vol.2 Live and Orkester Osaka jo-hall. February 2020. A one night show only. Amy Lee was invited as a special guest to perform Bring me to life, the song before this one which was the last song before the encore.
They also wrote a song together "Sakura Rising". The song took shape in the studio the night before the concert with Amy Yuko and Machiya. It was recorded the day after the concert. There is a live video of it from the Tokyo Singing Tour in autumn 2020. Amy is then on the backing track and on the big screen.
Recommend this one

Japanese instruments are made to fit the Japanese musical scale, making them difficult to match with Western instruments in their original form.
For this reason, many of the Japanese instruments used by the Wagakki Band have been modified by increasing the number of strings, making them more difficult to play.
In Japan, mobile phones or any other device that can record audio, video or photo, are strickly prohibited at most concert venues.
That is the reason why the crowd has all these "lightsticks"
the "banjo" is called Shamisen
