- I absolutely love this. You can see and hear traditions being passed on just thru, well, everything the do, how they play, what they play, how they sound and what they wear. Its definitely been too long of a wait to hear them. They are so talented.

The shock reaction to the Beautiful Beni by reactors, never gets old.
Yuko, singer, was the catalyst for the forming of the band. Their prime purpose is to generate an interest in the traditional instruments of Japan in the young people. They are considered Masters of their instruments and they also teachers. They are hugely popular in Japan and have toured the US and Europe. There are some excellent interviews from when they were in the US with English Subs.
Man you just MUST watch their other songs! They are awesome
Beni, Beni, Beni 🥰😍 on the shamisen!!! This is actually two songs ,...Akatsuki no Ito is the second. Nice reaction!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Thank you, I appreciate that
まづ、和楽器バンドに関心を持ってくれて有難う！！外人の皆様が良くリアクションで取り上げる初回日本ツアーでの焔の映像ですね。僕的には翌年のサンディエゴライブ「Deep Impact」での同じ演目の方が好きです。和楽器バンドは、ボーカルの鈴華ゆう子がピアニスト、詩吟の師範で詩舞・剣舞も習得してる為、参集した和洋折衷のバンドで各奏者の技量も一流です。８人全員が主役と言うコンセプトからライブでは、焔の様な演目が披露されてます。ユーチューブにほぼ全てのライブ映像が有りますので楽曲とパフォーマンスが視聴できますよ。
10Q (thank you) for the content !
Wagakki Band literally means "traditional Japanese instruments band" and their purpose is to keep alive the interest in the traditional stuff by making it cool and modern too. I think this style is called "folk metal" across the world, when different cultures make metal with their historical styles. Every member here is a master-level pro at their instruments. The two drum sets are Wasabi on "normal" drums (well named for his spicy playing!) and Kurona on the traditional taiko (wadaiko) drums. The wadaiko provides extra oomph and off-beat sounds that aren't possible with just one drummer or a normal band drumset. There are whole competitions in Japan built around the traditional drumming techniques on all different sizes, including ones that are about three times as tall as you! Fun fact: Beni's showy tsugaru shamisen can only be played on the downstroke with her weighted plectrum (large fanlike pick) and the silk strings change pitch rapidly with changes in humidity, and it has no frets, so she has to play everything by ear and muscle memory! Machiya on guitar rarely wears shoes onstage and wears his traditional Noh mask for the songs he wrote before he was with WagakkiBand like Homura. Kaminaga Daisuke on the shakuhachi flute needs a TON of breath to do what he does--and who doesn't love surprising people that they shred the flute in a metal band? Suzuhana Yuko, the vocalist is a licensed Shigin (poetic recitation) performer and teacher, and can do sword and fan dances. I swear the koto player Ibukuro Kiyoshi has golden fingers. The lyrics are as follows:
Hana hirakeba chou eda ni mitsu | Flower bloom filling the butterfly branches
Warera utau sora no kanata he | To the sky that we sing
Haruka nagaru kumo no mukou he | Beyond the faraway clouds
Umi wo koete niji wo watatte | Cross the sea and cross the rainbow
Kimi ni todoku you ni | Like to reach you
Seki wo kitte afureru omoi | Thought to overflow the weir [a low type of dam meant to raise a river or catch fish]
Itsuka sameru yume no ibashou de | In the whereabouts of a dream, that will someday
Warai atte irareru you ni | Just like being laughing [as in the state of being that you feel when you're laughing]
Kasane tsumuide yuku | I am going to spin it
((Repeat from "Warera utau"))
Also! Check out Synchronicity by WagakkiBand for a crazy change of pace!

From France: In order of arrival of traditional Japanese instruments:
Wadaiko: Traditional percussion
Tsugaru Shamizen (Shamizen = 3-string instrument)
Koto = Japanese harp
and Shakuhachi = bamboo flute ...
I love all of them, they are beautiful instruments and beautifully played by amazingly talented musicians
Great reaction and last message. Other recommendation will be
Bring Me To Life with Amy Lee with Wagakki band. BTW, Bandmaid has new MV "Warning!".
I saw the new band-maid video released the other day, I wanna hear it and looking for this video I saw the Amy Lee one, I was confused yet excited so we will visit that for sure.
Thank you
I recommend their song Strong Fate, that song and MV are both perfect *chef kiss*
Thank you, I will write that down.
i second this. Strong Fate is just perfect. Yuko's voice is something else
... long story short -- all the members are doing and learning music from their childhood, ... and they were already established musicians (has their own different bands/setups/solo projects) before this Band was formed. then, the Vocal Suzuhana Yuko actually made contact with each of them and proposed to form this band. all agreed and now we get WagakkiBand . :)
** Suzuhana Yuko is also a Graduate in music, a pianist to be more specific.
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 lotImprovisation and eye-catching finger work. This style - known as Tsugaru-Jamisen, after the native region in northern Honshu - is relatively popular todayin 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, is a certified teacher for Shigin. 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).
Thank you for all of that. I love knowing more about bands history as well as cultural
Many thanks for all these details!
I take note with pleasure. ;-)
Their music videos are quite something too, a lot of production goes in to them, worth investigating...
I'm looking forward to it, thank you
hah yes wagakki band rocks :=)
Thanks for the review, also highly recommend Synchronicity from Wagakki Band for a Jazz style music, and 砂漠の子守唄 (Sabaku no komoriuta) for a very unique style of music
Wagakki Band are also very famous on great live performance, If you want to a review any of them, recommend to use live version, it is safer from copyright stuff
Thank you for that. I will check out more from them live, for sure
Waggaki band are a great band for me anyway and I listen to them regularly, well, every day. However as for flautists Ian Anderson is the best in the business as much as I like this one , Ian would blow him away! His stage presence alone is electric!!
I dont know Ian but would love to hear him.
The mask is a Nou-men that's used in Nou Shinto religion that is not Kabuki same as BABY-METAL's Fox mask. BAND-MAIKO has the same traditional instruments + the Kozutsumi handy drum that Akane tapped.
I love this band. We are going to revisit them soon
listen to their track "Synchronicity"
You like shimasen. React to What is hip ? (cover ) - from the band TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI
Color me intrigued!
