after 14 years it is still masterpiece!

What I love the most about this performance (except for the obvious face-melting awesomeness of it all) is that they clearly respect each other's craft despite coming from completely different musical backgrounds.

I've lost count of the times I've watched this, and it blows me away every time.

Found that video about 13 years ago. Still one of my favourites ❤

this still is one of the best live preformances ive seen on youtube since 12 years!!

何年前に聞いたか分からんが中盤後半と息の合い方が増して、自分自身物語を聞いているような気持ちになる。

I've forgotten how many times I've watched this video and it blows me away every time!

they came to ROCK THE PLACE DOWN respect from mexico city

I love it when two skilled musicians make a completely new song together

This is why I love the Japanese pop culture... not afraid to turn back the clock and use tradition as inspiration for future sounds. These two killed it!!

this is like my favorite thing of kentaro, the way they both work together is kickass! sounds fking amazing!

I haven't watched this in 9 or 10 years, and damn, it's still dope as hell.

Fucking sweet! Love Kentaro and also Japanese traditional music, so going toe to toe with the Shamisen is like a reworking of the dueling bangoes. Many thanks for this upload!!

Had this in my favorite and will always love the song. Respect

Crazy this was 20 years ago....

I remember seeing this a long time ago, still awesome today.

i am crying!!! is so beatiful!! tradicional music and turntablist, and all from Japan, is PERFECT!

The greatest turntablist of all time... Dj Kentaro... This is the most unique collaboration i've ever seen, can believe what my eyes and ears just witnessed...

Two worlds one stage, Kentaro knows how to make things epic Shinichi just knows how to mix old school with new school.

God DAYUM! Watching Kentaro move during that finale proves that he is one of the top when it comes to DJ'ing.

Love it !

Shinichi finally made me appreciate Kentaro as talent.

i can never get bored of this been months many months but its still just as epic as the first time i watched it

excellent combination! On august 2002, Kinishita san visited my country Panama. I'm a believer!!! ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

Most creative routine I've seen for ages! Pure class

That was awesome!

cant stop watchin' this. got no word but 'respect'

That was fantastic.

This is beautiful.

Wow, that was awesome!

That has got to be the most amazing thing I have ever seen! Once again real music crosses all borders. This should be one of the YT featured videos, not that BS they promote.

Goose bumps.

two very interesting styles, love it!, kentaro is dope, 5 stars!

Awsome....................

EPIC!!!

this is sick!!!!

IN-CRE-DI-BLE!

DAMN! best music ever!!!!!

@MyMIXmedia Because both of them are established masters of their field. An equal time is supposed to be had for both of them to show their wares. So Kentaro provided the backing for the first half, and the shamisen becomes and instrument in Kentaro's mix in the 2nd half. Works pretty well, I'd say.

5:05 Jesus christ, that drop is so good

that was great routine.... kentaro best in routine...

That was some of the sickest shytt i've evah seen son!!

Big choon!

this guy is sick

jeah good song

Quality!!!!

Great ! ;-)

WOW!!!

wowie.

Per usual, Kentaro's turntablism is on point. Fuckin badass how when he starts droppin science, Shinichi hella gets down on his shamisen. Love seein Hip Hop and DnB on a worldwide tip!

If you liked this, you'll also love Kinoshita's performace with Roby Lakatos. You can find it by searching with "roby lakatos shinichi". It hasn't received much attention, probably partly because it doesn't include the word "kinoshita", but I think it's one of his best performance.

the best!!!!!!!

masters.

Respect.

Dude is SO Technical!! A master of technique. Kentaro is the ill nanny in Japanny

This is really hot!

DOPE ! DOPE! AND AGAIN I SAY DOPE!

this sheat is fucken awsome..i love it!

2:25 Epic breakdown

c'est un duo de ouf !

Freaking chill....

Those Japanese are AMAZING!!!!

wow

Old meets new What would make it really cool is if Shinichi were wearing hiphop gear, and Kentaro were wearing like a traditional kimono

Oh damn! That shit was sick!!!!

I wanna be like Kentaro someday...He my insperation =]

pergh!!!.... respect 3x...

dj's are musicians!!!

I can't find the words to express what I just heard ... "So why does it gotta be so damn hot"... Love it !!!!!!!!

IDOLI!!! :|

There was this guy, who paused pornhub for this track and still came, I understand now why

Eargasm!
