best rection video so far good someone who knows what is happning cuz most rection just end with good song and japanes banjo(one person called shamisen )

Great reaction! I admire your knowledge abt the instruments. Have a nice day

Velcro, I am so very happy you finally got to experience Wagakki Band. I knew you would love them. I find it’s not only that they combine traditional and rock instruments, and style, but they do it in such a masterful way. The singer, Yuko Suzuhana, is a shigin singer, with the very wide vibrato and sometimes nasal sound. She is also a gifted pianist. There are some good translated interviews with the group. Disclaimer, I have a huge crush on Beni, the Shamisen player. 😊😊 When I’m having those rough days I play a lot of Wagakki Band and Band-Maid. It always helps. 😅 I totally agree with you about the mixing.

あのフルート（尺八）は音を出すだけでも集中と努力が必要です。 曲を奏でながら振り回すのは超人的な才能が必要です。

Great reaction, you should do more of them they are an amazing band In the first song during the bass solo it wasn't a flute but a bass effect pedal, it was all from the bass with the guitar later harmonizing with it The wind instrument in the second song is called a shakuhachi The koto is pretty different from a piano, sure both use strings but the koto is only 13 string (some can have more) but has more flexibility with the ability to do vibrato and bends and microtones, also the moving briges for each string makes it so the musician can change tuning on stage to a different songs and some can do it pretty quickly especially those with perfect pitch, also the fact that it is plucked instead of hammered like piano makes the sound very different

A band I'd highly recomend to you is Unlucky Morpheus. They are part of the "Symphonic Rock" genre. They have a violinist who absolutely shreds. "Welcome to Valhalla" from their latest album is pretty good.

Thank you for checking them out. They are one of my favorite bands in the world, and unique as far as I know. “Wagakki” is Japanese for “traditional instruments” The “lute” thing is a Shamisen. The “harp” thing is a Koto. The “flute thing” is a shakuhachi. The Japanese drums are collectively called “wadaiko”. The band was founded by the shigin (classical poetry) singer, SUZUHANA Yuko, who is also a classically trained pianist. She developed the concept of fusing Japanese traditional instruments and musical tropes with modern music. Yes, you’ve heard these instruments a million times, in movie soundtracks, when they want to convey a Japanese atmosphere. Here is a video that really lets you see up close all the instruments and how they work together: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5idmLqcvNfHXX0.html It was originally written for a “Vocaloid” which is an electronic virtual singer-essentially an AI. In Japan (where else?) vocaloids have actually become pop stars. What can I say? America may be the land of innovation for things like tech and social media, but in music no one here cares any more. Most of the creative action has moved to Europe and Japan.

Wagakki band is truly unique. Japan has this music ingenuity to mix genres of music. You should check out, Gesu no Kiwami no Otome which is a pop rock funk jazz genre.

Homura always makes me wish we had more 4-person bands with 2 drummers, guitar and bass rather than a 2nd guitarist. Also, thumbs up for doing your research (or just having the experience) to learn the instruments. OTOH, you're thinking of vibrato, not falsetto.

素敵なreactionありがとう御座います。 ｢海を越えて虹を渡って｣……皆さんへのメッセージですね。 ｢笑い合って居られるように、（生を）重ね紡いでいきましょう｣ って感じかな😊✨

Beni Beni Beni! I think the vocal term You are looking for is Vibrato (Vocal Quaver) NOT Falsetto (type of Head Voice)

If you like the Koto (and the Taiko Drums (and the Flute (and the Shamisen))), ou should try "Gobusei" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcWIoNt0tqfNmZc.html Also some bo and sword dance/fight involved But primarily I like the great Koto spot in it!
