Japan is the second largest music market after the U.S., so bands were established for the domestic market, but with the development of video posting sites, Japan's unique bands and culture seem to be spreading abroad naturally. I'm sure you'll find many more! Have fun!

As somebody else mentioned, your expression when Beni is introduced and begins playing. That is pretty much the reaction the other members of the Wagakkiband had. Yuko, the singer, and the rest had already formed and performed. One day, Beni shows up, said “I’m joining you.” They said “…okay.” Beni had been awarded a national prize in Shamishen; the best in all of Japan on that instrument. As a comparison, suppose you’re a small band, just breaking out, and Jimmie Page in his prime shows up, “Hey, mind if I join you guys?” Yeah, it’s like that.

I absolutely love the Wagakki Band. Other bands have tried to fuse modern and ancient music together in the past, and it never seems to work quite right. Wagakki band nails it. Of course, it helps that all of the traditional instrument musicians are considered "masters" of their instruments in Japan. About the only bands I listen to today are Lovebites, Nemophila, Bandmaid and Wagakki Band. They are putting most western bands to shame right now.

The catalyst for forming the band was Yuko (vocals), The aim was to bring traditional Japanese music and instruments to the youth of Japan. They have toured both the US and Europe successfully. Each are Masters of their instrument and teach. They are more popular in Japan than Babymetal! They perform at many cultural festivals in Japan. Think about the equipment setup for a performance. placing of microphones, lighting, sound management, etc. NEXT - "Senbonzakura" is one of my favorites.

和楽器バンド Wagakki Band literally translates to Japanese instrument band and I'm so glad you enjoy them, they are an incredible group. I really recommend their song 千本桜 /Senbonzakura (lit. Thousand cherry trees), it is their most famous song for a reason. This type of music is becoming more popular in Japan and there is a group, called Akatsuki, from a phone game who is similar but a bit more pop than metal. There is also a group in a musical that mixes traditional music with rap. It's fab and so happy you liked it so much.

Every pick is a good pick with them... "Queen of the night" is poetic, "Synchronicity" is fun "Hakushu kassai" is BIG, "Doppo" is melancholic, "Sun Wheel" is energetic, "Senbonzakura" is a classic born from the time they did covers of Vocaloid, "Ikusa" is savage, "Rokuchonen to Ichiya Monogatari" is another of their Vocaloid i'd describe as unexpected. I'd recommend live versions of course, 1st link's always a nice one ;)

I recomend you to check out "Sakura Rising" in a collab with Evanescence or "Ignite". I think I know why asian music: pop, rock... is amazing. They have a long tradition of theatre, music and performance. That is why whenever you see an asian singer, band or group you always get the whole package: music, lyrics, dancing, performance, beautiful stages.... and then add the asian discipline, you get an extraordinary performance always.

@@GOTGames Most of their songs are not heavy metal but they are a VERY UNIQUE BAND. Like you said, "I wasn't watching a concert, I was in the concert". Wagakki Band will do that to you. All they're members are a show by themselves. To me they're right up there with Band Maid and Lovebites. [ P.S. Don't forget to check out my other comment with links below. I'm sure you'll freak ]

If you want to hear the traditional Japanese drums (called Taiko drums) by themselves, you should look up a band called Kodō. They play drums as small as 6cm across to as big as 3 METERS across! Also, I don't think anyone on KZfaq has done a reaction to them, ever.

Great stuff. I hear a lot of Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover in the style. Give that one a listen.

Loved this reaction especially when Beni got up on stage and started playing, that was my reaction as well the first time I heard her play. Now that I have looked back far enough I dont have to recommend this anymore. Heeheeheehee

5:10 Bingo Also try Wagakki Band - 砂漠の子守唄 (Sabaku no komoriuta) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9R2mppezNeuoZc.html and Wagakki Band - シンクロニシティ (Synchronicity) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brl-iZuknayucp8.html to get a feel for their range.

If you're liking the Japanese metal and rock train, I suggest you check out bands like The Gazette, Nightmare, Exist Trace, and Sadie. All of those are what is known as "visual kei" which is basically insane glam rock (easiest way for me to describe lol). There are a ton of other groups I could recommend...but that would be one long comment haha. I absolutely love Wagakki Band, so you'll probably like the rest too.

Wagakki Band are legendary band in Japan. Amazing fusion love them! You should check some other mixed bands like Asterism, the bass as well as guitar work will leave you, yet again, speechless. Also you can't go without Scandal, Unlucky Morpheus, One OK Rock plus Aldious, Ghacaric Spin, Passcode, Wagamama Rakia. Basically, the Japanese musical rabbit hole is very deep. Material for at least a year, especially if you add J-Pop on top like FEMM, Happiness, e-girls and many, many more. Some are kawaii and with whole assembles of 48 members in each of the major city, which they then pick members for each song, like AKB48 does. It is even more unique method of entertainment companies than the Korean ones. You might forget about the rest of the world if you go down that path :D But check The Warning (Mexico) and Rolling Quartz (Korea) one of the rare all female rock bands that actually manages to survive K-Pop dominance. They did a cover of Dreamcatcher, so ... why not eh?

I was fortunate enough when I attended AnimeExpo one year, and Wagaki Band was the opening act for Hatsune Miku. I'd never heard of them before and I was BLOWN AWAY.
