The irony here is , though this is all "modern day" cultural - it's a common theme / moral / value (however you want to describe it in the western sense) in Japanese culture to REFINE to perfection. It's in the daily customs, it's in their cooking, their art, their production of goods and services (i.e. - a great example is how a sword maker/blacksmith would make samurai swords etc..) . The Japanese martial arts etc.. - thus when Peter Dowd mentioned that Mr Jimmy said it took 30 yrs to "know" the Rain Song , THAT is a perfect example of the dedication to perfection that is so common in Japanese culture.
Bingo. And taking it back to the performance realm...well I guess in a way, you could call everything you mentioned a performance, of a kind... but I believe that in the Kabuki theater there is even a tradition of male actors not only specializing in female roles, but actually adolescent female roles. You can get very "niche-ey" in the subject or trade you choose to use as your canvas of perfection.
Jimmy sakurai will be the only musical imitator that will go down as a legend
Randy Hansen also known as the best Hendrix immitator.
What a privilege to listen to Akio play the Rain Song. So beautiful.
Isn't it wonderful. I love that he explains he's still studying - eight years to learn the tuning alone. I could listen to him for hours. When he finishes 'Stairway' I can hear Robert's voice in the air.
What a humble perfectionist.
Completely. Total dedication to the Nth degree. Remarkable. Even the man himself stated so.
The Japanese are amazing musicians. I lived in Japan for six years and saw this amazing musical
talent they had. Mr. Jimmy is a good example of talented they are. His guitar solos are almost spot on with Jimmy Pagee's.
Admire his dedication to detail and authenticity. If you watch his live performances he even improvises on his own, not copying, but improvising in the style of JP. He’s done medleys with great taste. JP has indeed imprinted upon Mr Jimmy!
I conquer, I just saw him at the new thunder valley venue in California and it's like page himself was flowing through him
God forbid if Jimmy had died instead of Bonham this will be the guy definitely wow. Has Jimmy all over. Love him🤟🏼
Where can i buy the film of Mr Jimmy? I really want to watch it!
Just saw Mr Jimmy with Jason Bonham. So tasteful. A real treat.
It takes so much skill to play those songs👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Rain Song was always one of my favorites. Thank you, Akio !
Mr Jimmy is basically Jimmy Page but from an Alternate universe , Seriously how hard has this man worked in his life to perfectly imitate another human being ? Amazing and i applaud him for this and ive followed Mr Jimmy for a long time on CZcams going back over 10 years
I l❤️ve Mr Jimmy!!! I'm so happy that he personifies Jimmy Page sooo perfectly and I'm so happy that a film was made about him. What an absolute treasure! 🤗
Some fascinating nuances to stairway that o never noticed before, such as the hybrid picking leading to the “ooh it makes me wonder” section😊😊
The Rain Song. Wow!
Jimmy Sakurai has been performing in the Led Zeppelin tribute band in Japan for 20 years from 1994 to 2014.
A special book about Jimmy Page was published in 2000 by a publisher called SHINKO MUSIC in Japan.
The content was about playing the guitar.
Jimmy Sakurai oversaw the book. The book also included a DVD played by Jimmy Sakurai.
I just bought the book on eBay! Hope to become a zeppelin master like Mr Jimmy one day!
Amazing Mr Jimmy!!! 🎶🎸🎼🤩
I really need to see this movie. I been watching him for some time but would like to know more about him as a person and musician. Love the way he puts everything into what he does.
It's unbelievable that the film isn't available anywhere (2022). I can't find a single source to view or purchase it. I first saw Akio with Jason Bonham in Michigan. Incredible.
Fisicamente ele lembra o Jimmy jovem nos anos setenta. Muito. Bom
@@markmeier3329 Distribution is everything...I assume that's the hold up. It's now 2023 and the film is just now having its first screenings in the UK.
I've seen Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Colin Hay, Guns and Roses, Ministry, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Roger Waters, Foo Fighters and Them Crooked Vultures.
But the JBLZE concert with Jimmy Sakurai in Melbourne on April 7th was the best concert I've been to. The 7 people I was with agreed completely.
The whole crowd was buzzing after the show.
We knew it was going to be good but jeez!
It is currently the most Led Zeppelin show available in the universe.
Just saw the show in Montreal on April 16th. Mind blown! Would see it again 100 times.
The movie was shot without a face in the Jimmy Page stage costume he arranged.
The book was sold at Tower Records in America.
A member of Led zepagain had it. Led Zeppelin tribute band guitarists modeled the book.
Jimmy Sakurai is a pioneer and has great achievements.
Pioneer in what? You mean Jimmy Page, right?
Loved The Rain Song - beautifully played.
Dude is really something. Jimmy / Gibson / Fender should totally show him some love & give him some cool guitars for all his dedication & promoting guitar playing 🎸
Hi Mr jimmy! You play the rain song with such perfection. What a pleasure to hear you play that song. Keep on rockin, ann
Incredible! This guy just transported me back to an awesome time in my life. Just Awesome👍👍👍👍🙏
How GREAT it is!!!!!! Mr. Jimmy the torch has been passed to you, now it is time for you to run with it.
So impressed by his knowledge of the songs.
Nothing beats walking up from the train station, listening to Jimmy play The Rain Song in the rain...
The Spirit lives on......thank you
Mr. Jimmy you too sir are a great artist. Thank you for keeping my Zepplin memories alive♥️
Anyone can say what they want about Jimmy Page but who else has had such long lasting impact to his craft
This is fascinating on so many levels.
Been a fan of Mr Jimmy for about 10 years...he's amazing...can we purchase the DVD?
Very nice. Will go get the movie now! The playing was great, but The Rain Song was mesmerizing. So well done!
The next night at Sweetwater was blistering!
It was the best live show I have ever seen.
He actually plays better than Page because he’s not sloppy nor is he drugged out.
It was truly amazing and only I front of 200 people at most!
Please come back and do the Song Remains the Same Tour this time for 2021/2022 with Jason Bonham….
Mr Jimmy nous fait revivre le meilleur du ZEP
Serious talent to get jimmys look playing and sound perfect
Rain Song - beautifully done x
min 29:37 DocLnds director Ken Jacobson taps Mr. Jimmy on the shoulder and points to a sign next to the door ... "NO STAIRWAY" LOL!!! MR.JIMMY'S LED ZEP REVIVAL!!!! THE BEST!!! Pause the video exactly at min 34:22 , 34:23 ... HOLY SH$%!!! THATS LITERALLY JIMMY PAGE, DUDES!!!!!!
Amazing....really!
Me too.. I pause, rewind and play it again.. It looks like Jimmy Page! 😮Awesome!
Beautiful perfection
Dedication. What it takes. Thank you Jimmy, and everyone involved !! 🔥✌🏼🙋🏻♀️
I was doing this 20 years ago . Hes the second best tribute to jimmy . I van kick his arse anyday 😀
2019→Back to→1971‐1972. Stairway to Heaven, Ramble on and Rain song remains the same!
Wow Jimmy is a great performer and wish him all the luck in the world,can you please come to NJ and perform?
Very nice.
Amazeing!! WOW!!
How can I watch this movie??? Mr Jimmy Sakurai is AMAZING!
He's got that stuff down. Great tones.
It's nice to see that even children can appreciate LZ.
Owned a roadhouse outside of Modesto years back. Jimmy walked out on tab. Jimmy, you owe me $500.00
mr.jimmy in the video or jimmy page
@@dylancasteel78Haha! You definitely ain’t gonna see Page in Modesto CA.
GOD BLESS YOU!🙏🌹❤️🌄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🥇
I thought he would talk also as jimmy page!
Evidently he's still a very sane concrete individual.
When you listen this music, once again, you realise that West is declined.
With a big spoonful of controlled demolition helping it sink.
When will this be on netflix or amazon?
Mr Jimmysan, number one ichiban!
思っていたよりも、桜井さんは英語が喋れると感じました（失礼ですが）。もちろん、ジミーペイジのそっくりさんの中では世界一です（演奏、ビジュアル）。西新宿の海賊版の件はアメリカでも有名なのですね。
ジミーペイジ自身は白人と言うより、どこか、アジア人的なDNAがあると思います。出来れば、桜井さんがジミーとコラボしたロックを発表して頂きたいです。
NO ! NO I can't understand why there's no translator for Mr. Sakarai. We all can see He's not familar with English speaking. During all of this footage, He's fighting with words to find the right ones to express himself purely. Please,come on! Jimmy Page met him, and you, you can't help by having a translator ? Sorry for my english,I'm French. But Mr. Sakarai doesn't need a person to talk for him,but He deserves tobtalk by himself
Well, I think that Jimmy Sakurai's broken English is rather charming. So with Mr. Jimmy deciding to go without an English interpreter/translator is akin to a year-old baby/infant learning how to walk without the help of a parent.
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
👋👋👋👋👋
Mr. Jimmy Zoso!
min 34:22 ... HOLY SH$%!!! THATS ACTUALLY JIMMY PAGE!!!!
Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer. Page 64.😇
Good thing he isn't in Guitar Center when he gives that acoustic performance.
Incredible this Jimmy Page clone, it play Page perfectly
You have to understand the Japanese. When they choose to do something - it's an all in obsession.
Should’ve had a person to translate so he could articulate the answers better . This guy is premier jimmy page
Pages doppelgänger
It is nice to hear Mr Jimmy speak, when the other two clowns let him.
You probably didn't notice...his English is quite limited. They were helping him out quite a bit, but again, you probably didn't notice.
His DNA is almost identical to the master Page. Can’t you tell?
that's not jimmy page
Mr jimmy you of said marin goodnight really I'm like you I study botham everymove you like body ticks the only I havent seen you do is raise your eyebrows like Jimmy page does when he want to end the song they were so tight so wish you well I hope someday to go to your show as saint Japanese you are ichi bon
But say it.......I am NOT Jimmy Page, I can play just like him, dress like him, move like him on stage....but I am not Jimmy Page, nor will I ever be- the hard reality.
名前からすると彼は完全な日本人？
Asian Jimmy Page!
Over a decade I'm watching CZcams videos and pulling up Led Zeppelin vids and finally I learn about Jimmy Sakuri. Pathetic.
Why are they even talking to a guy pretending to be Jimmy Page in a cover band?
Because nobody has perfected Jimmy Pages style/songs as good as him.
Duplicating Jimmy page with this kind of authenticity is extremely difficult. Clearly, Mr. Jimmy is extremely devoted and passionate to duplicating every aspect of Jimmy page and I can’t imagine there’s anybody else in the world that does it this well, other than Jimmy page himself! He raises the duplication to a whole new level
Just to annoy you.
