This was a collaboration they did on the Tokyo Singing album, which was largely written for the 2020 Olympics, which Wagakki Band were doing the music for, of course that was cancelled because of the pandemic. This concert was from that year, as the Japanese government did allow some performances, although they were strictly regulated, limited numbers, social distancing, masks and only clapped applause etc, so along with travel restrictions I doubt Amy Lee could have been there in person anyway, if you can find a translation it does have a very poignant message for that time (as well as for other things happening around then).

As I understand it, this band had formed up, piece by piece, and thought they were ready. But after they played a small show, a lovely lady named Beni came up and said "I'm joining your band". So she brought her Shamisen, and THEN they were complete. Rock on, guys! 🤘😎👍

[@carolynh4428]

Love the instruments!

[@kennethsumida5264]

the big multi string is a koto. the flute is a shakuhachi. the 3 string is a shamisen. the drums are a waidaiko (I know them as a taiko)

[@stephenwalton8507]

John Benson beat me to the explanation as to why, sadly, Amy Lee couldn't be there. The lyrics to the song are about being separated and trying to reunite and meet again after long absences; hence the extra emphasis of Amy not being able to travel to Japan.
Ninagawa Beni plays the shamisen, the instrument that sounds like a banjo, and the thing she's holding is called 'bachi'. It's essentially her 'pick', but being so large it can vary in size and shape, sometimes looking more like a chisel rather than a spatula, which changes the sound and play style. Also, being much larger than a pick, the bachi really focuses the action of your right hand into the wrist, rather than your fingers.
And the finger sling on her left hand is the 'Yubikake' [yoobee.kahkeh], and it's stretched between her thumb and forefinger, so she can slide up and down the neck of the instrument really fast without rubbing her skin.
Fun fact about Beni. If you watch earlier Wagakki Band music videos, Beni always looks really serious, tapping into her neo-goth, badass, shamisen rock-goddess side. But then in a bunch of their live shows Beni has the biggest smile on her face, having fun and living her dream

Please react to Wagakki Band - Senbonzakura MV and Live version Feat. Amy Lee.

I think the string instrument is a shamisen.
