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

He sampled their clap, genius

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 :)

Watching K ishibashi is a spiritual experience.

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.

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

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!

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

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

素晴らしい！！鳥肌立った！！

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

AMAZING, FOREVER A FAN .

soo cool. soo many loops.

Absolutely fucking the most talented person i have ever seen

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

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

fell in love with Kishi Bashi (and KEXP of course)

This is utterly amazing

One word describes this guy perfectly... Original!!

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

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

This guy's energy is so great...

Opening bottled water while keeping the sustain on his violin. Pfft..maybe add some Cirque movements to make it unbelievable. Incredible talent.

I'm seeing him this Saturday live! I hope he plays his old music, the latest album wasn't my favorite but OH My GOD his old album is actual magic.

Awesome

Er scheint mir Jemand zu sein, den man einen musikalischen Kosmopolit nennen kann. Dafür ein GROßES Danke dafür ! PRIMA

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

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.

great

what in the shit?! This guy is amazing

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.

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

10:30 That moment !

Гениально!

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

HIm and Dosh need to do an album.

Damn, I miss Jupiter One.

idk, I have seen this guy three times in Seattle and each time the crowd wasn't afraid to clap and cheer out. First time with Of Montreal people went nuts, second time when he played with Bison it was a little reserved, but just a few days ago at The Crocodile people were cheering and clapping along to the point I wanted them to shut up so I could listen to the music haha

I love you u_u

I'm in love with you
