He is so versatile. He is seriously one of the most talented musician I have ever seen.

His music is fantastic and the way in which he performs it live is pretty genius, but the best bit about this is just watching him I think. He bounces and sways and he does so many different things with that violin and his face is forever changing it's brilliant!!

a professor showed my friends and I this performance when i was in first year college around 7 or 8 years ago, then lent us his copy of his music. every few years, i return to this performance to re-center myself. it is 2021 and i feel a little more grounded again. kishi bashi, you fantastic artist.

after at least 100 plays- Manchester is still officially the most beautiful song I've ever heard -finally seeing him live next month!

the way he smiles when he plays or sings is just so warm and happy uwu

This man is such a class act. I was a huge fan of his work with Jupiter One and was so sad when they broke up. But this performance is just so great. He's such an incredible violinist and songwriter, yet modest. So glad he kept making music :)

He sampled their clap, genius

My favorite new music artist. Thanks NPR for the great interview. Favorite song so far = Manchester. I haven't listened to the new album "Lighght" though.

Watching K ishibashi is a spiritual experience.

Raw talent refined into a precious gem. Thank you, Kaoru.

I love how happy his voice is! Could listen all day ~~~

Manchester is hands down one of my favorite songs ever and the way that he does it live is just so magical...

I cried a little during the "Kissing the Lipless" cover. Once of my favourite musical artists covering my favourite band. Too much for me to handle.

Oh wow! He is making the world a better place! ❤️

Wow, so I just discovered Kishi Bashi, his song played on "Miracle Workers - Bright Whites". What a talent you have Bashi. An amazing man you are. Continued Success my friend!

holy shit he's so good..Manchester is seriously one of the best songs ever

Saw him live tonight. Out of this world! Thank you KEXP for showing an amazing musician to the world!

0:28 - It All Began With A Burst 4:21 - Atticus, In The Desert 10:12 - Bright Wights 17:13 - Manchester 25:10 - Kissing The Lipless

Except for the fact that he still writes multi-part symphonies and plays, sings, and beatboxes exquisitely.

one thing I love about him is...the violin is turning into be a part of him...he is just comfortable.. and 'natural' about playing, singling, being with the violin..I've felt that way for a while with my favorite bicycle..(until I fell horribly on a paved road!) It's a magic. I guess that is what we seen in arts, artists.

素晴らしい！！鳥肌立った！！

His live performances are stunning! Can't stop watching~

Exercised my ears and I loved spontaneously singing in background. AMAZING

What a joy!! What an inreadible artist. Thanks KEXP the temple of collective consciousness.

Wow, not what I expected at all when I saw the violin thumbnail. Good stuff! Love the creative sound.

He 's Crazy !!! woo !!! :D

Holy hell

Sam... if you ever read this, thank you for bringing Kishi Bashi into my life. You'll never know the impact it had.

its one of those shows where people only do that on like 1 song. the rest of the time everyone waits to go crazy after each song and concentrates on the music when its playing.

Гениально!

Adoro !!!!!!!!!!!!

what in the shit?! This guy is amazing

Who down voted this vid? WHO??? KB is pure perfection ❤️

15 people are soundgarden fans

10:30 That moment !

AGREED

If the audience makes noise, it gets stuck on the loops. Usually, musicians will ask the audience to be quiet to minimize this.

This guy is having a concert in my town for $10 at an age-restricted venue. I am seriously considering making a fake ID right now, you don't even know...

HIm and Dosh need to do an album.

I love you u_u
