in July 2001 Shinichi Kinoshita recorded music for "Over the sun, under the moon" - a film by Harry Rag, here now the complete first solo by that incredible artist.
Kinoshita san has been a big influence on my personal development as a Shamisen Player . Especially in the fusion of traditional Shamisen with modern Rock, pop and world music. Even today when I write my own original music for Shamisen I can feel his influence! Great Video!
Arigatou gonzaimasu Sempai Kinoshita Shinichi for your high artistic performance in Museu Oriente in Lisbon. I never forget that harmonious strings and Taiko drums full of Xinto energies from Shinichi Group.
Justin Moran haha Are you trying to correct me? firstly its not せんぱい its 先輩, you have to use the Kanjis because "せんぱい" can be read with a different meaning. Secondly By Senpai you're referring to someone Higher than you IN THE SAME AREA, someone that have reached a Higher level at (School, College, Work) or have master certain Skill above you. I've been living In Japan for almost 2 year by now. I have a N2 Level in Japanese. Don't come here Thinking you know everything. (:
Forgive me to say that but for someone who lives in Japan, your attitude is so superior like all the gajins that arrive at Tokyo Bay in 1853... ...anyway I call this musician "Senpai" for courtesy and consideration...tha s all. And no I m not a Shamisen player ...for Tsu s like you I m just a School Kid
Justin Moran Yeah , I admit I wasn't polite enough, and I apologise. I think People are too aggressive on the internet these days, didn't want to be rude. it just that some people think they know everything about Japan just because they read Manga or watch anime, They're Complete Ignorants and that piss me off.
I'm always behind following the music, every sound every tone following this boundless energy blindly... I don't know what it is trying to say but I just can't stop following I want to ride this feeling
The shamisen is a beautiful instrument to admire and listen (🇯🇵). It has the same tuning of Greek trichordo bouzouki (DAD tuning 🇬🇷) and the same sound of American banjo (🇺🇸).
yo no se si en otra vida habre sido japones de la edad feudal, porque cada vez que escucho musica de esta incomprensiblamente siento solemnidad y ganas de entrenar y de luchar para medir mi fuerza y tecnica contra dignos oponentes...
That show had one of the strongest opening episodes for an anime about a musician that I've seen, and then it felt like the writing switched over to generic music competition anime with the worst execution and I've never been so disappointed with a show in my life
That was beautiful. I found this video because Marty Friedman was talking about Shamisen in an interview with Rick Beato. Marty was saying that he feels Japanese of all ages are comfortable with distorted guitar sound because of the sound qualities and styling of Tsugaru-jamisen. I'm so happy to be able to expand my music experience. Thank you.
Wow. There are some moments where I don't seem to see that much motion from the hands but still hear the shamisen's strings rolling. I wonder what kind of technique that's supposed to be?
It's really awesome. Great technique, great instrument. Amazing really. I just think the composition needed a little more structure, distinguishable themes and motifs. 10/10 regardless.
