  • Check out this video of Jake Shimabukuro performing "Sakura Sakura," which is a traditional Japanese folk song depicting spring, the season of cherry blossoms. It is often sung in international settings as a song representative of Japan.
    This video performance was recorded live in the UK on his most recent visit there.
    While this is instrumental, here are the lyrics:
    Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
    In fields, mountains and villages
    As far as the eye can see.
    Is it mist, or clouds?
    Fragrant in the rising sun.
    Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
    Flowers in full bloom.
    Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
    Across the spring sky,
    As far as the eye can see.
    Is it mist, or clouds?
    Fragrant in the air.
    Come now, come now,
    Let's go and see them.
    Enjoy!

    This was for me the most magical moment in this entire concert. Absolutely mesmerizing to watch how you convey the music with every cell in your body.

    Always the master. Always finding new ways to make the uke do what no one ever though possible. Thanks again.

    The way you sell your master class is how I want to sell! You just do amazing things on that instrument, while just talking about how much fun you are having. That’s the way!

    He does techniques I didn't think were physically possible on a ukulele. On the other hand, I've never played a professional quality ukulele. My guitar, absolutely, but now I'm thinking I need to at least try out a high quality ukulele.

      Once you do you will see the light … and your right koaloha, Kamaka, Kanile’a…. Are amazing sound and feel / play …. I suggest a tenor but each company is different, for example kamaka is a smaller size tenor , koaloha is medium, Kanile’a is large ,each sound great in there own way !
      Have fun…

      @@Danielscottschiffer i want a ukulele myself are these the only kinds of uks? do they have fretless ones? or maybe electric ones? would u say once u get to kanile'a does it sound relatively "bass-y" compared to a kamaka? I dont know anything at all unless its a guitar or a bass honestly lol

      Size class makes a difference too. Personally I like the handling on a soprano for my playing, but it does hinder some techniques that benefit from a longer string. I think Jake usually plays a concert style uke, but I'm not 100% on that.

      @@Danielscottschiffer : What I basically did after this was try out the biggest, most expensive ukulele available locally.
      Size made absolutely no difference to me, but of course quality did.
      My guitar, a Stratocaster, I bought a thrift shop, made in China Squier, which was already pretty good. Since then, down to the strap locks, over three years, I've spend about a thousand dollars on it, gradually, and the only original part left is the body, which I also modified. I swear, you couldn't buy a better Stratocaster new in a store at any price. You can get fancier, but not better. Don't even get me started bragging about my axe.
      So when I try out instruments now, I'm thinking it could be better after I replace the nut and bridge, strings, tuning machines, level and crown the frets and play the palaka out of it.

      The main point is really, out of the box, is intonation. Is the open string also in tune at the octave, twelfth fret. Everything else you can gangster.

    How marvelous!
    It’s sound just like a Koto,
    And it’s probably his roots are
    definitely Japanese, I think.
