Kdrama review videos coming soon! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
自分も、千本桜大好きだけど、こうやって、日本の音楽が、世界中の人に、聞いてくれるのは日本人として、とっても、嬉しい✨
When they are touring the drummer usually has the name of the venue on his back.
The stringed instrument where they pluck the strings is a koto, the guitar like instrument is a shamisen, the flute type instrument is shakuhachi, and the traditional drumset in the back is wadaiko. You should watch Kishikaisei next, this was their performace for the closing of the 2016 Olympics.
It's good to see the world enjoy Japanese music!
Beni is my favorite
Beni is great ♥ 😂
Highly tipped for a spot opening the 2020 Olympics. They are so good live. A real assault on the senses. The singer is a student of traditional Japanese dance, she also swings a mean katana blade. 😁
Told ya! They are insane live, the videos are amazing, nothing to not absolutely love. A deaf person could appreciate the way sometimes their wardrobe budget exceeds the value of my car. The talent and originality are unquestionable. Welcome to your next rabbit hole, it's a beautiful ride.
One of the finest folk metal music ever on earth. Full salute and respect.
Next,
Ikusa, Kishikaisei & Appare ga Seigi
Love your reactions!!!
I am Japanese.
I'm glad you like traditional Japanese music.
I'm am Thailand.And I love Traditional Japanese music.
Im american I imported both their cds a few years ago. Love this group.
？..？
I'm Spanish, and I love you guys (no homo lol)
Bro not just your music or instruments.. your whole country we love it
I've met the lead singer, koto player, and shakuhachi player. All three are really nice. Yuko, the singer, is super sweet and really tiny. She was very complimentary of my rudimentary Japanese speaking ability.
Wagakki Band is very cool - I recommend them to people who are looking for something a bit different. The guitar-like instrument you mentioned is called a shamisen; it is a traditional three-string Japanese lute played with a large pick called a bachi. Just so you know, "Sakura" (pronounced SA-ku-ra, with the accent on the first syllable) is sometimes used as a girl's name in Japan, and it literally means "cherry blossom." The title of the song means "one thousand cherry blossoms." Just as another random fact, cherry blossoms and cherry blossom viewing activities and picnics when the blossoms are blooming in springtime are a pretty big thing in Japan.
Great song 🎉
Ur reaction is just pure👍🏻🍃
I loved your reaction... you need to get some of their live videos
Thank you great reaction. Next song Strong fate please.
Hey 👋🏽 Beautiful Reactors...I watched this awhile back. If I ever had the opportunity to travel to Japan 🇯🇵, this would be the Magnificent Japanese Band to see. Thanks for posting this! 🙇🏻♀️🔍🎵🎶🤩💫❤️👏🏽🇺🇸
"Sin-bon-zakoora" I died laughing - an attempt was made :D
"I like to mix in some Spice with my sweet"
😍😍😍
Thanks for the reaction! I found this band surprising and interesting. I stumbled upon them because I found Babymetal. I have really been enjoying the music scene in Japan for almost a year now. The mix of traditional instruments and rock is super cool. I lean more towards Babymetal and Band-Maid but I definitely enjoy this band as well.
Chris Cox lol yup if it weren’t for babymetal I would of never found all these really awesome bands
Wagakki band puts nearly ALL current American bands to shame.
When I first saw a few live and official videos by them, in the same way as Chris Cox, the blend of both styles was interesting, and watching her play the Shamisen was pretty cool. The old style singing imo though isn't for everyone.
I think I've watched about 15 reaction videos to Wagakki. I think this is my favorite.
And speaking of beautiful eyes....ladies.....
Daaaang thats a reallllly catchy song. I love it
The japanese guitar is called Shamisen (shah-me-sehn). There are many different variations, the one that Beni Ninagawa plays is the Tsugaru Shamisen.
The japanese flute is called Shakuhachi (shah-coo-hah-tchee), it's a bamboo flute tuned in a pentatonic scale, played by the master Daisuke Kaminaga, a real living legend.
The big drums are the Taiko drums or Wadaiko, played by Kurona. These are very traditional and of course a very tribal form of instrument.
That horizontal harp is the Koto, played by Kiyoshi Ibukuro.
Also it's worth to mention the guitarist Shin Omura (goes by Machiya) uses a very specific type of a 29-fret baritone guitar, which is a regular guitar but with 5 extra frets at the top of the neck, perfect for making arrangements (check the size of that neck).
The singer Yuuko Suzuhana sings in a style called Shigin, which is a traditional way of singing poems, that's why it's so peculiar.
Wagakki Band is amazing
千本桜を和で行く和楽器バンドは最高潮にCOOL
I crush on the Shamisen player, Beni :)
So glad you guys liked this track. My mother was a koto player so I grew up with the sounds of these instruments so pleased to hear you appreciate there sound. After you've heard more of their music you'll notice that the lead singer incorporates elements of traditional singing style into her singing, so it's a cross over vocally also with traditional elements. Visually also it's a real mix and a nice element to the band. My personal favourite is Synchronicity which is a blend with 1920's Nightclub jazz. Sakura or Cherry blossoms are of course very significant to Japanese people and the lyric to this particular song is worth taking a note of on later listening. But with so much going on and the speed of the track the lyric gets lost a bit.
Thats so amazing do u play koto too ?
Thanks for the great review.
The 和楽器 Band is amazing and the song 千本桜 is legendary. (Sorry for the Japanese, but I forgot how to spell the names in English) There are about 1000 covers of this song on TH-cam. The main theme is the many changes that occurred in Japanese culture since it opened up to the rest of the world. A great song for a band that celebrates the power of combining old and new ideas in music.
Suzuhana Yuko - vocals
Machiya - guitar
Ninagawa Beni - tsugaru shamisen
(a traditional instrument of the Japanese commonly played on certain occasions only, my favorite by the way)
Ibukuro Kiyoshi - koto
(another traditional string instrument, this the large board with strings in it)
Asa - bass
Kaminaga Daisuke - shakuhachi
(the Japanese wood wind instrument, kinda like a flute like harmonica)
Wasabi - drums
Kurona - wadaiko (a percussion drum traditional in Japan)
Beni and Yuko are my favorite members of the band,
Thanks for the reaction! I feel like this band is very underrated here in the west, there aren't many reactions to their songs (especially if you compared them to Kpop reactions). I'd recommend Kishikaisei, Strong Fate and Synchronicity next.
Or if you'd like to see them live, I'd recommend Homura, (uploaded by IPea Smile, since there isn't an official video) and Yoshiwara Lament (officially uploaded by avex).
Wowwwww♬
素晴らしいperformane🇯🇵
This band is absolutely amazing
和楽器バンドだとシンクロニシティが好きだ＼(^o^)／
Asa, the Bassist... is a man! I still have trouble making my brain grasp that... Most of his pictures are in feminine clothing and he's quite "pretty" that way. I've heard him speak... his voice is lower than mine and I'm an octave lower than tenor...
Try "Strong faith" as a contrast. You will also love "Synchronicity".
The drummer Wasabi has the song title written on his back. The japanese flute is called shakuhachi and the big stringed instrument played by fingers is called koto. Did you miss that they actually have 2 drummers. Wasabi on modern western drums and Kurona on traditional japanese wadaiko drums.
I really like their song Strong Fate.
The words(Kanji) on the drummer's back are read as "Sakura Hana", basically meaning cherry blossoms. It is a lil bit different from the title, which means a thousand cherry blossoms. Just thought i'd point this out :D
Good to know thank you
Hello I am japanes. we feel happy!
昔、「NOと言える日本」と言う本で、石原慎太郎が「真にナショナルなものが
インターナショナルになれる」と書いていたな.....。
たからだとしや どういう意味？
That food analogy though..😂😂😂
I strongly recommend Wagakki Band's Strong Fate, that MV is film-level! And that song is gorgeous.
Waggaki Band...they arent just musician but they are Gods and Goddess and engineers of their own musical instruments...
Suzuhana Yuko - Vocals
Machiya - Guitar
Asa - Bass
Wasabi - Drums
Beni Ninagawa - Tsugari Shamisen
(traditional 3 string guitar)
Kurona - Wadaiko ( traditional drums)
Kiyoshi - Koto ( traditional harp)
Daisuke - Sakuhachi ( traditional flute)

The girl, who named Beni, played Shamisen, a traditional guitar-like instrument with only 3 strings.
Loved your reaction to one of my favorite bands so I just had to subscribe to show my appreciation🙏
Japanese melodydas ROCK!👊🔥
I'm half-Japanese, and your reaction to Wagakki Band is one of my favorites. The lead singer has a unique voice because she is classically trained in Shigin (traditional Japanese poetry recitation/chant) and enka singing. And your reaction to the visuals was awesome. All of their performances are heavily influenced by Japanese visual kei
Edit: You should react to Kishikaisei and Synchronicity by Wagakki Band if you like feasts for the eyes and ears
David, seen you comment on a few of these reaction videos. I was stationed back there in the '80s and my wife is Japanese. Where are you? Just curious.
Hard to top Wagakki Band. I am a big 'Eikichi Yazawa', 'Southern Allstars' and 'Akina Nakamori' fan, but I was stationed back there so long ago. Now, I LOVE the fusion between old and new (Yoshida Brothers, 'Rin, etc.) but these guys take it to a completely new level.
@@dieselboats7886 I'm a hafu. When I'm in Japan, I stay with my Uncle in Shibuya, or my grandparents in Yokohama
@@Kitajima2 I had a Shipmate that was 'hafu'. We called him 'Hambun'. Sure miss Sasebo. Went back 2 years ago for a couple of weeks. First time back since 1989. Had to leave early, almost sank our su marine, lost a couple of shipmates.... water damage to interior was beyond the cost to repair....
@@dieselboats7886 That's really cool. My American grandfather was AF stationed at Chofu. Do you have hafu kids? Sorry I know that can be a sensitive question for some couples
@@Kitajima2 No problem! Very proud of the fact that my kids share that heritage and have that blood in them. Means a lot to me. Plus, I'm sharing life with an amazing woman... We're actually celebrating the day we met today and going out. July 19, 1986.... 34 years - she just turned 21 when we met and I was 23.
Yuko Suzuhana (singer) was trained in Shigin (traditional poem reciting)... That gave her very unique vocal when singing... And she also good at Kenshibu (Japan sword dancing)
Asa (bassist) tend to dress very feminine... Quite handfull of people and reactor thought he is a woman...
Try the song : Kishikaisei
Gave the idea how good they are gonna be at Olympic ceremony
They are going to play at the Olympic ceremony? That should be amazing!
They already played at the Olympics. They performed during the 2016 Olympics closing ceremony. As far as them performing at the Tokyo Olympics, nothing has been confirmed. I hope they do, I will be in Tokyo during the Olympics and might go to the opening if I can get tickets.
Damn it.. i was fapping for the bassist.. shit.. what a disappointing fact
React to Synchronicity its more of a jazzy vibe but so good.
LoveBites - Shadowmaker, members are all female Japanese but they sing in English
Yeah Mama, not bad thanks girls..
You should try iridescent butterfly --- 虹色蝶々 --- That song's out of this world as well.
Millions of views? Like 110 million? :D
What is written on drummer's back is the Japanese word "Sakura"
The tsugaru shamisen: also known as the japanese guitar
Koto: an horizontal harp
Shakuhachi: japanese flute
Wadaiko: japanese drums
EDIT: please react on their new music video(Ignite)
You pronounced it good enough, us Japanese can’t really say Chevrolet either lol
桜花 is written on Wasabi’s back which basically means cherry flower.
Senbonzakura is a one of those Vocaloid covers. Here's an example: th-cam.com/video/RuAmK4mrpds/w-d-xo.html
A bit about Vocaloid: A singer would go into the studio and the software house would sample the singer making all the phonemes of the Japanese language. Then the software will take a melody and a set of lyrics, and generate a voice singing the words to the melody. Finally, the software allows you to animate a virtual person and choreograph his or her movements. The most popular of the lot is a blue-haired teenage girl named Hatsune MIku. She's the one who sings Senbonzakura. Every year the best of all the bazillions of Vocaloid songs are compiled, a live band learns all of 'em, and they go on tour (see "Magical Mirai"). It's just the coolest darned stuff I've come across in a long time, and this from a conservative old dude crowding 60. :D
And this is WGB doing the song life back in 2017 th-cam.com/video/wRaP6TmKTQE/w-d-xo.html
The song's about how Japanese culture is being lost, drowned in militarism and Western cultural influences.
I am not sure, but I believe I have read somewhere that all of the bandmembers are actual models.
Hello! WelcomeJapan!
You want an adventure?
Look at this:
1- 和楽器バンド / 華火 (Or, *WAGAKKI BAND - Hanabi*)
additionally,
this:
2- 和楽器バンド / 砂漠の子守唄 (Or, *WAGAKKI BAND... "forgot the English name... but when you paste the name in TH-cam it finds it as the first one, with a length of 6:04"*)
"That was so fast" Lol, you have no idea! Their arrangement actually slowed it down a bit... Here is the original Vocaloid song, by the Queen of the vocaloids, Hatsune Miku th-cam.com/video/Mqps4anhz0Q/w-d-xo.html
Please React to fear and loathing in las vegas - the stronger, the further you'll be

Thanks you so much 💛🌻
かわいいひと
One of my favorite groups ever.... Thank you!
Beni Nanigawa is one of my favorite musicians, she is playing a Shamisen which looks like a long neck guitar with the three large tuning knobs at the end. I don't know how she plays it without breaking it and/or the Bachi, which is the paddle she uses like a pick. I figure she has to have it reinforced or made of more solid material. I do not know the other instruments really.
Live ver Please
If you love this song, try "Tengaku", "Ikusa", "Kishikaisei" & "Strong Fate", you won't be disappointed!!
react wagakki band-synchronicity 和楽器バンド / 「シンクロニシティ」, this one is kinda jazzy song from them
Great reaction!
Please react to BiSH, and also PassCode.
React to Akatsuki no ito from wakaggi band
The one of Unique point would be Vocal Lady is the leader and Lead Guitar (with Musk) is the second.
Yeaaaaaayyyyyyy...my like made it 1kkkkkkkkkkk...!!!!!😁🤣
Yeaaaaaayyyyyyy......I'm a record breakerrrrrrrrrr.......!!!!!😂
Your welcome 😊👍
the word on the drummers back means SAKURA( Cherry blossoms) .By the way i have to Mention this, when ever your reading Japanese with Romanization system (it's no English) the "R" is always pronuncied as the "L", Japanese don't roll their tongue.
suzuhana
I love the Shamisen from Beni Ninagawa. This band Rocks and i dont understand anything i'm from the Netherlands. More quet music bit try the dutch girlgroep Ogene, i think the best girlgroup in the world on this moment.
React to music video? You should react to their live concert videos.

If you're wondering what vocaloid sounds like, you can listen to the original Hatsune Miku vocaloid version of Senbonzakura here: th-cam.com/video/U0gAwCFHdEA/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful reaction and not hearing about Wagakki band is not that unusual for westerners, we don't know a lot about other countries and their music. But thanks to YT and Babymetal/Band-Maid, we're learning a lot about Japanese music and if you've been listening to this music for a while, you'll see other comments about this or that band, which is how I discovered Wagakki. If you like her voice there are a lot of Japanese bands with great female singers that have unusual and wonderful voices. One singer I especially like is Fuki, she's been in a lot of bands and anime and her voice is very distinctive and powerful. Here's a couple of her in different groups:
Fuki Commune - Strength - th-cam.com/video/QJluG17EP3s/w-d-xo.html
DOLL$BOXX - DOLL$BOXX - Take My Chance = th-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/w-d-xo.html

Next kishikaisei 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
アジアンカンフージェネレーション？
Sen bon sakura - "bon" is pronounced like "bone", and "sakura" (cherry blossom) you might know as the name of various female anime characters, with emphasis on the first syllable: SA-kura
OMG For all that is holy PLEASE react to Hatsune Miku Dx
Thank you for great reaction!😆
Please react to THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE - SWAG & PRIDE😊

Dear Girls, I am very pleased to see your reaction to Wagakki band.
Now your next song should be Okinotayu, the most beautiful and heartfelt song from Japan because you seem to like softer songs.
th-cam.com/video/WSUGASFlypY/w-d-xo.html
These guys are like the grandkids of the band Hiroshima. If you haven't already, check out Aldious. An all female band. Very good stuff played hard. th-cam.com/video/Czx0su8Kt5Y/w-d-xo.html
Added to our list! We ste looking forward to checking them out. 🥰😍💕 Thank you so much! Hugs and love!
+ pls
Why do women always moon over the shirtless Wasabi playing the drums? I just don't get it. :-) The beautiful Beni Ninagawa is playing the shamisen, the traditional three string instrument that sounds like a banjo, and is very moonworthy to me.

Have you done babymetal?
Chair with BJ is doing that in this channel. :)
Sabrina and I haven't done Babymetal yet, but we've gotten recent requests for them. 💕 BJ, who does a Sunday segment on our channel, has reacted to them. We have added them to our list, and are excited to check them out. I haven't heard them yet, but I will be attending their concert in Phoenix in October. I bought BJ tickets as a surprise when I found out they were going to be doing a concert there while I am visiting her. I'm super excited about experiencing them for the first time in a live concert. 💕😘😍🥰 Hugs and love! ~Regina
