When Sakura petals start falling, you know who the winner's gonna be...

2006-Nitaboh 2021-Mashiro no Oto

What a Great Shamisen solo. I have often tried to copy this on my own Shamisen but this example is really something special. Just this solo alone had a huge impact on me as a Shamisen Player for many many years.

That moment where you live in ancient Japan, and start shredding like a boss. XD

The shamisen has such a wonderful sound to it..it's one of my favorite traditional Japanese instruments to listen to. I started off my love of Japan thanks to old school anime from my mom and Kaiju movies with my dad, and my own love of games when I was very young, I moved into loving the history as I got older and learned more and I'd love to just go on a tour one day from one corner to the other and just see all the sights. But one thing I can honestly say I love the most is the music, it's always very relaxing to hear the traditional music.

"tsugaru jongara bushi" Is my favorite shamisen piece.... And so many people gonna come here after mashiro no oto(these snow White notes).... I really want more and more people to know about this because it's really so good.

Shamisen (3 strings) is "Hiromitsu Agatsuma"（上妻宏光 ） Movie Title is "Nitaboh"（仁太坊）

next year Activision goes to japan to bring you shamisen hero

"Ima end this man's whole career"

and that's how a rock off looked like in japan ;)

And that's when he joined a British heavy metal band.

I don't play shamisen but I do play guitar and I gotta say, the finger movements are really well animated.

simply beautiful

On top of the Symphony I loved the way this scene is animated!! bow down to the director

*THAT* shamisen possessed him... *NO DOUBT*

The shamisen player is the GREAT 上妻 宏光（あがつま ひろみつ) Agatsuma Hiromitsu.

this is "free bird" in Japanese's version

Màn solo thật tuyệt vời nó làm tôi phải rung động, dù không phải nghe đàn trực tiếp ngoài đời nhưng vẫn để lại ấn tượng mạnh với tôi

never seen this before, was looking up shamisen stuff. totally teared up. I don't know much about japan, but i feel like through the sound and images of this, you get a small feel for the way of life and how deeply this music can affect you. whooo boy! much love and respect to other cultures!

One of the best shamisen pieces on youtube. thanks for uploading!

Yea but when I try to play my guitar with an ice scraper I just break strings.

After watching Mashiro no oto this video pop out on my recommendation. blessed!!!!

This is why I always feel amazed by Japanese culture,

this scene itself makes it a superior series than Mashiro 2021 reason being that it didn't cut off the Shamisen out for flash backs or side characters to give their inner thoughts about the sound. thats my biggest gripe against Mashiro as it consistently did this when anybody started playing. theres always someone speaking every 20 seconds and i just wanna focus on the Shamisen. the fact this scene soley focused the player and his music makes me smile Though to be fair, Mashiro could be considered drama first, music secondary bcos of that reason

One of my favorite

fuuuu that dopamine kick was ....damnnnnn.. bruhh mah whole body got serious goosebumps.

I watched Nitaboh on Crunchyroll and I can't even think of any words to express how great I thought it was T_T

じょんからは津軽の厳しい冬・桜の美しい春・待ちわびたねぶたの夏・収穫と美しい紅葉の秋、そして何より霊峰岩木山を感じさせる素晴らしさがあります。 窓の外には岩木山が見えます（今は夜で見えませんが＾＾；）。

no other words to describe this music but sublime

who's here after sudden youtube random suggestion? and stick to the end?

'Hey,Teuchi-sama! You know that fresh sound you've been looking for?' 'Yeah,Hiroshi-kun?' 'Well listen to this!!!' God you know it's over when the Sakura starts falling and even the guy next to you is just in awe. I can feel the emotion in this and I just wish this could happen in real life.

Most Impressive...Most Impressive. Very Soulful.

For a movie about shamisen there was wayy too much non-shamisen music in this film.

damn 16 years ago upload.. the time when KZfaq wasn't even famous and just started

ましろのおと見てるせいかすごい引き込まれるww これが14年前とか……。色んな意味ですごすぎる✨

I am utterly amazed, this is so beautiful I can’t-

What was this anime about? I only clicked on it because it was in my recommended section and it was 10 years old!!!

Very deep, very gentle , very strong そしてとてもやさしいんです。

Goddamn he's shredding it like a rock star!

This movie took me in old Japan and made me fell how awesome it was !! ❤️👑

This is the solo I needed to hear to want to learn how to play this instrument. Now to get one and start from day one.

Plays Tsugaru style with Wooden Bachi and yet the strings do not chip or break. Anime Logic

Imagine playing this but with a riff and the audience was shocking and amazed by that.

Mashiro no Oto-2021

As others have commented already, this is beautiful beautiful beautiful and did bring a tear to my eye. Gonna get the movie now. Some say it's yoshida brothers others say it's not... Who has the real answer??

Who is here after Mashiro no oto?

Lúc đầu nghe thì khá chói tai, sau nghe 10 lần và xem anime 2 lần, tôi thật sự thích âm thanh những nghệ nhân chơi Shamisen tạo ra. Dành lời khen chân thành nhất với những người tạo ra anime này.

Wow truly amazing!

Beautiful animation I have to watch now!

Am I the only one here right now. Shamisen stuff has just randomly been coming up for me now lol.

@roockage actually if you think about the story, this scene in particular is all about fighting and super powers. The Shamisen player Nitaboh is in fact battling against a rival player who is threathening to discredit his Shamisen style. Only one performer will emerge triumphant. So there-you see this is in fact a FIGHT to a death(artistic death of course). and the Shamisen itself is a mysterious instrument which requires super powers to produce even one clear note. so there you have it!

A fine precision instrument. A specimen of crafted increment.

He literally became the essence of japan 😂😂😂

Thanks for posting this. What a Great movie this was!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️..no words... Just admiration

Inspiring playing from Hiromitsu Agatsuma!

Great movie I really enjoyed it, It got a standing ovation at the Brisbane International Film Festival when it was on a few years ago... maybe like 5 years ago... What ever, its awesome check it out.

The BEST!!!

ow, people try to watch "the snow white note"

My brother in law is Japanese and I'm just now seeing this why

That's some hardcore Shamisen.

2006-nitaboh 2021-mashiro no oto

Just love that instrument.......played it myself for a few......but then i woke up whaha. shamisen ...awesome instrument though can listen to the yoshida brothers for example all day lol

Jongara Bushi! It always gives me chills

I love this movie! It inspires me to play my Sanshin everyday! I need a school here for Sanshin/Shamisen

I am 100% putting this on my list in light of recent events

It's "Tsugaru Jongara Bushi" but in Nitaboh's style.

Amazing.

i love this song

*When i final free my digestive system*

Awesomeness!!!! I am going to find that film right away! Thanks for uploading!

For God's sake...HOW can somebody dislike this video? Eight people have no soul :D

I'm in awe,it's so beautiful!

And this is where black culture and Japanese culture intertwine the two groups take inspiration from each other a lot in media but idk if y’all have heard someone spit bars over shamisen it’s e l a v a t I n g

I like how Nitaboh nods to Tamana in his intro.

love the music from this movie, the orchestral parts were performed by the Warsaw Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded in Poland ^^

Amazing performance of Agatsuma!

Beautiful

Japan is STUNNING!!! My respect 🙏 Arigatou!!!

gasp......His Power Level

That's how I feel whenever I hear the shamisen!

how the hell did I miss this....

Life is blank without culture and music.

gorgeous!

I must say... and I do so as a person completely lacking in actual knowledge of the instrument and the culture around it music wise... but... many of these I seek out and listen the musician will at one or more points let out a very ... guttural "HWAH!" kinda sound. I have wondered if that is word I don't know that's just that particular artist "owning" the song... if it's meant to be there but maybe a timing thing... etc. What I LOVE about it is that to me it seems the same as a Keyah!! that a martial artist might make at times to focus and or release power etc. I guess that's my point, I wonder if that is in fact what it is even in part... :) Also, after hearing this I want to cry AND fight evil :)

Wtf just found this outta nowhere

I searched soooo fucking long and now I find that after months 🤯

yoshida brothers

I can't breathe!

Wow. 14 years ago.

これが、14年前の動画だと！？ (’∀’*

HE played so good he crated a time portal

thank you! :)

For people wondering the name of the anime. ITS IN THE DESCRIPTION FOR CHRISTS SAKE.

This man here is a prodigy what that Shamisen 🤯 I need one 😔

Потрясающий мультик и музыка до слёз.

shredding since the 16th century.

Just imagine how ppl would react to a hard solo back then lmaooooooo
