Short Christmas Video: 馬槽の中に (In a Manger Lowly Born), 大胡弓 (Big Kokyu)
A traditional Japanese Christmas carol. Lyrics below:
馬槽の中に 産声あげ
木工の家に 人となりて
貧しき憂い 生くる悩み
つぶさになめし この人を見よ
食する暇も うち忘れて
虐げられし 人を訪ね
友なき者の 友となりて
心砕きし この人を見よ
すべての物を 与えし末
死のほか何も 報いられで
十字架の上に 上げられつつ
敵を許しし この人を見よ
English:
In a lowly manger born,
Humble life begun in scorn;
Under Joseph's watchful eye,
Jesus grew as you and I;
Knew the suffering of the weak.
Knew the patience of the meek,
Hungered as but poor folk can;
This is He. Behold the Man!
Visiting the lone and lost,
Steadying the tempest tossed,
Giving of Himself in love,
Calling minds to things above.
Sinners gladly hear His call;
Publicans before Him fall,
For in Him new life began;
This is He. Behold the Man!
Then to rescue you and me,
Jesus died upon the tree.
See in Him God's love revealed;
By His passion we are healed.
Now He lives in glory bright,
Lives again in power and might;
Come and take the path He trod,
Son of Man and Son of God.

All is Well - Japanese Translation 日本語
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 5 lety
Merry Christmas! メリークリスマス! This is a Japanese translation of Michael W. Smith's song "All is Well" from his 2014 album "Spirit of Christmas". As Japanese is hard to fit into an English melody, I changed a few words to make it work. Instead of "All is Well" I used the word "Heiwa" which means "Peace." as Christ came to make peace and reconcile us to God and to each other. Lyrics: All is well, al...

I bought this at Treasure Factory, a thrift shop here in Japan. It's a really well done knock-off of a Martin dreadnought. It cost me all of 9,000円 with tax (about $80). The abalone inlay is fake, but the wood seems to be good quality. The nut and saddle are bone, the tuning pegs are not stock and there's a pickup in it, so it was probably upgraded a bit by the previous owner. It has a nice loo...

    @ShinElton Před 7 měsíci

    Again and again I come back to this video, this is one of the most pleasant Kokyu sounds I have heard. I believe you are using "non-traditional" vibrato techniques that add to the smoothness of the sound. The traditional kokyu tone is a bit harsh to me, which I always thought was unfortunate since its one of the very few traditional bow instruments in Japan. You should definitely post more kokyu content, your music is beautiful.

If I recall, there is a music school in Ikebukuro near the station that teaches kokyu. You might also try asking at some of the shops around Tokyo as they would have connections with the wagakki schools.

    @UCUZkiS6e7z_Jh6mZoqrlQLA Thunderstruck on the Shamisen sounded fantastic especially because the Shamisen is the most powerful weapon. Fun fact, the Kokyu is tuned an Octave above the Shamisen, has the same strings as a Shamisen but it's playing them an Octave higher cause of the shorter scale.
