Thank you for reviewing Wagakki Band. I found them just a year ago here on YT. I love their energy, flair, costumes, and joyfullness. Each member is a master of their intruments and compose music. A few teach, even at university. Yuko is a master of piano, Shigin (Japanese traditional poetry chant with vibrato) and sword/fan dance. She composes some beautful ballads as well as uplifting songs. I think her voice is wonderful and she has a delightful personality. She has a CZcams channel where she often sings, plays piano, and has band members on. She put the band together. Machiya is the guitarist and he is responsible for arrangements so all the instruments can be heard. He is left handed but plays right handed guitar, is always barefoot on stage, and composes many of their songs. He plays bartone guitar so as to not overwhelm the traditional instruments (from what I have been told by a Japanese commentor). Beni is a champion shamisen player and has an adorable personality. She has a CZcams channel where she enjoys food, excursions, and plays the shamisen. She often has the drummer, Wasabi, to her apartment and sometimes he cooks for her! Wasabi also has a CZcams channel where he often cooks. He also is a strength body builder and goes to special Sasuke equipment workout spots where he developes his strength and ninja skills. He is a bundle of energy and always happy. Kurona is the Wadaiko drummer who composed this song. He teaches at Universal Studios (If I understand correctly). He started playing with a band when he eas 9 years old. Asa is the bassist and composes many great songs for the band. Probably his most famous song "Yoshiwara Lament", was popular before he joined the band. Kiyoshi plays the Koto and was a cultural ambassador when he was a teen,travelling the world. He is an expert at tuning the Koto quickly. Daisuke didn't start playing the Shakuhachi flute until young adulthood. It is called the impossible flute and some people say he has iron lungs. You will often see him doing air splits and leaps while playing this difficult instrument. He teaches at universities.
@@cutthattv9855 I listen/watch to Wagakki Band several hours every day for over a year now. I don’t understand Japanese, but learn a lot from comments.
@@cutthattv9855 this is one of my favorite videos. It has four performances ( composed by Machiya) that gives each member a brief solo. Yuko doesn’t sing, but she performs sword/ fan dance with her recorded vocals. czcams.com/video/c_XmxCQAiic/video.html
For me, the Wagakki Band, could play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and make it sound spectacular. As you say: "Brilliant on the ears and the eyes." Thank you for promoting the Wagakki Band. There are not enough reaction channels for the Wagakki Band. However, I am aware they can be very difficult to use because of copyright issues.
Hakushu Kassai (Aplause), Written by Kurona (Wadaiko Drums) They have many uplifting songs, like Senbonzakura (possibly their biggest hit) They have released 5 albums and 2 EPs and several singles and live albums, so you have at least 80+ songs to choose from. In 2015, they played live in the US and Europe on their deep impact tour. They also collaborated with Amy Lee for her song "Bring me to life" on the Wagakki band Premium Symphonic Night Vol. 2. The concert was a one night show with Amy Lee as a special guest. The sound was perfectly ok👍
Apologies, there seems to be a problem with my sound on this video, a slight echo. Not sure what is causing it
