@@Munchkin.Of.Pern09 Good spotting, i'm thinking MAYBE that flute might just be a japanese native version of the reed flute, and i'm still trying to figure out the western drums and the Gong is just plain east asian so i guess you could nitpick on that - but hey :) You did better than me at first LOL
Congrats. It's always interesting to watch the mash up between tradition and modernity and you guys nailed it. I hope Brendon sees this and uses his huge platform to showcase your work
It looks like everyone that's playing is actually really happy and having a good time, which is really all that matters. The cover being good is just a side effect.
Man, it would've been good to have been in that room. Headphones really don't do this justice. The greatest thing about drums, especially massive ones like those taiko, is the vibration that just resonates throughout your body. It's simply primal.
I saw one of these performances when I was a kid. Although I dont really remember anything about it but I will always remember being shaken to the core of my bones with excitment and astonishment.
The Buddhist temple near me has taiko performances every year and I honestly get emotional when I feel that resonance from the drums-- it pries something loose and lets it free-- that's the best way I've ever had to describe it.
They look like they are having fun for sure the one guy with the pony tail he keeps apearing while having such a hot smile, also can we talk for a moment about how for some reason its so hot to watch them play these instruments? 😂😍
Everybody: "They using OBS logo" Me a weeb: "Sharingan" Me also a Nerd: Actually is a symbol from the Shinto religion, this conjunction of three comma-like swirl symbol is named Mitsudomoe (三ツ巴). Everyone of this commas represent one "Mitama". A Mitama is an aspect or soul which conform a spirit, there is four Mitamas: Ara-Mitama (荒魂, "Wild Soul") the rough and violent side of a spirit, Nigi-Mitama (和魂, "Tranquil Soul") is the normal state, the functional side , Saki-Mitama (幸魂, "Love Soul") the happy and loving side, Kushimitama (奇魂, "Wise Soul") is the wise and experienced side.
the good things about weebs: they enjoy some other foreign cultures the bad things about weebs: they learn it from gun sword wielding robots (thats actually some cool facts XP)
Cor i’m sure they weren’t genuinely having that much fun the entire time. It’s probably just stage presence this isn’t a live one take recording you know? They probably did it a lot of times and felt pretty burned out but that’s how art gets made it’s hard work
@@jessejive117 As a former muso who has performed solos as well as with others in choirs and orchestras, I can guarantee that yes the practice for this recording is not always all fun. But the end result and every actual performance put on whether on stage or recording, like this video, is extremely fun. This video is not the practice stage of being a performer, it's the performance stage where they've done their hard practice and all that is left is to perform. Group performances can sometimes make you nervous and anxious especially if you play a significant stand out part in a piece, but the atmosphere and music created by yourself and your group is like no other feeling. It will give you a sense of euphoria as the sound of the music you love literally surrounds you as you are creating it. So the joy they show in this video is most ikely genuine.
Ceilings In Their Eyes the kit solo is fake, watch the snare through out compared to the sound, I saw three of like fifty snare hits... still a cool vid tho
@@aidanschuring4786 The actually music was likely recorded in a studio and then overlaid on the video. It's very common practice and understandable when you consider all the different angles and shots they had to get.
I've never seen so many hot japanese guys in one place. Like actual guys and not those j-pop boys. I'm in love. And then they also play a song from my fav band. Damn guys.
@laura aizawa Heyhey Japanese objects are not men. I mean Japanese men are not obje--oh fuck it I can't say it straight! LOL It's a beautiful thing to hear Asian men be considered "hot" for once when Asian men (and black women for that matter) are statistically at the bottom of the dating pool in America. Thanks for expression of love :)
Ways thought that Asian, especially Japanese people are pretty af... And I don't mean those 3T makeup Girls or jpop boys... The boys and girls from my country (Korea) aren't ugly too, but idk... It's something about Japanese I prefer
Yaneli Vega I also want less songs about love. I'm not against love songs but the loves songs this era is basically Falling in love, both of them live happily ever after, boy seeks out new partner, broke up, girl gets depressed
this video shows up in recommended me: "urgh ive heard this song wayy to many times no thanks" this video shows up in recommended again me again: "heck no" this video shows up in recommended for a third time me: "oh alright then" also me: "im no longer tired of this song"
@@soularous8793 I still don't want to play it on repeat XD. This cover is quite good, but I still believe that the original is better, even though I can't bear to hear it again.
Why TF did this make me cry?! So much passion and talent on all musical spectrums! I'm so glad RU-vid suggested this to me. New subscriber! I'll be looking forward to future performances. P.S. This is my favorite version of this song.
Thank you RU-vid Alg. You’re getting there slowly but surely with the good content 👌🏻 Also subbing cause this was legit dope and brought back some memories with my old training master 😄

Don't hate me or anything for saying this but I find this cover so much more invigorating then the original. Like yeah the original is fucking awesome but you can feel everyone's energy in this video and its just so empowering
That's nothing to get annoyed with in my humble and honest opinion. It's just the power of music exceeding originality and becoming something else to touch more hearts.
imo this would probably more epic than the original when presented live as a concert. In terms of watching/listening to it as a vid from the comfort of my home, I'd prefer the original.
They’re like the Japanese version of Trans Siberian Orchestra and im LIVING for it. I mean just the talent alone, then THE STYLE AND JUST BADASSERY combined with such confidence in their instruments WOAHHH 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve just found them today, late 2021. Absolutely stunning! The drum and everything made this song become more impactful, stronger, higher. Cheering people up to break the wall and keep rockin!!!
This is incredible! It's also funny to see that shamisen players get guitar face as well lol. Watched it again. The energy amazes me. It's like I'm watching/listening to it the first time, every time.
I found this just listening to random music while I was opening the restaurant I work at. Y'all got the inflection so gotdamn perfect for a second I actually thought you just put the official vocals over the instrumentals. 10/10 cover.
@@JeanSosa1914 Could be difficult to translate. I know back in the 90s and earlier, a lot of Swedish artists would either do translated covers of songs in English, or they'd make an international (English) version of their Swedish song and... well, sometimes it worked okay. But there was usually a few things that went sideways during the translation since the new text still has to match the instrumental bit. These days, English is more pervasive than ever, what with being the "default language" of large parts of the internet. If a song is already in English, it probably wouldn't feel "worth it" to translate the lyrics when the target audience probably knows English well enough. Exceptions made for Disney songs. And for artists who also double as linguists, those mad lads and ladies will do a translated version with surprising fidelity purely for the challenge (though usually from a non-English language to English, not the other way around afaik)
@@helenanilsson5666 What he could do - and what I, as someone who works in translations, often do - is wrote a new verse in Japanese. Not a word-for-word translation of the English, but rather, one that expresses the same ideas as the original: not giving up and chasing your dreams, as encouraged by your mother
The first verse legit gave me shivers!! This is so freaking lit🔥🔥🔥🔥. The Kaiko and the flute works so well with the melody. Huge to kudos to all the people who orchestrated this masterpiece. I'm definitely adding this to my playlist.
I am... blown away by hearing this song come from those instruments. I really like this! Ancient instruments playing modern music and a bunch of people having a ton of fun together. We need more of this in the world. Good wholesome fun.
Taiko is so cool!! The way the drums resound with your entire body is such an indescribable feeling. Definitely taking music to the next level yall! I love how you guys are having so much fun with this; I can feel the energgyy through my screen 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽!!
This was so good. 😲✨ Amazing what a change instrumentals can do to an already addictive song. I sure hope you'll cover more in the future. 😁 And (if it isn't too much trouble) might I suggest looking into the music of Gintama? I feel like there are choice songs you could definitely cover from that. 😚
This is amazing you guys have blown me away!!!! I've had the worst day ever at work in coming home and finding this video on RU-vid totally makes everything so much better thank you so much!! You guys are amazing keep spreading joy!!
Haha! I'm old enough to remember when traditionalist Japanese people were getting angry about Ondekoza doing "radical" things with taiko drums. This really warms my heart.
Напишу по русски, может ребята и не поймут, но это гениально!! Теперь я Ваш фанат, это просто что-то невероятное, от чего муражки по коже. Такого драйва от оригинала то нет!!!
