What a lovely tribute - especially liked seeing the different performances of the same song layered atop each other. Your video emphasizes something that often gets lost in all the fuss over his hotness and his Twitter antics - that he is a damn fine musician, first and foremost.
Aside from being an amazing guitarist, can we also talk about how good he is as a backup vocal too? he gives a blood-curdling scream and sings the harmony beautifully!
Over the years you can definitely tell he's become more of a performer than a mere guitarist. Makes my heart melt when I see him so engrossed in his solos. Beautiful video! x
Aoi is so amazing. I love him so much. In my opinion he's the most mysterious of this band. It seems like Reita is that person because he's hiding his face. But that's just a mask and he's literally a very talkative and open person. And Aoi is the opposite. He doesn't wearing a mask physically, but inside he does. I can be wrong, but I see it that way. And I love this about Aoi, it makes him more interesting for me. 🖤
Definitely an amazing guitarist he had amazing emotional and virtuoso level phrasing on his solos and compositions. His acoustic guitar (especially fingerstyle) is master level even when they first started just listen to zakurogata no yuutsu
