Welcome to the Wagakki band world. They take you on an experience. Homura (flame) and Akatsuki no ito. (thread of dawn) are both written by Machya, the man with the Noh Mask from Japanese Noh theatre. The mask represents the spirit of a woman (the cut on the eye is not original). He uses the mask on his instrumental songs. They were started by pianist, poet, composer and shigin singer Yuko Suzuhana in 2013. They quickly became an arena band. Perhaps best known for their New Year's party Daishinnekai. As for seeing them live, you'll have to hurry, because they're going on an indefinite hiatus on December 31st. Expect that there will be a final concert in the autumn/winter of this year. They say they will be on stage again to deliver better new songs in the future. So in the meantime we can enjoy all the live videos found on YT and the seven amazing albums they have released. Wagakki band consists of: Yuko Suzuhana - vocals, piano Machiya - guitar, vocals Beni Ninagawa - tsugaru shamisen (three strings) Kiyoshi Ibukuro - koto (25 strings - Japan's national instrument) Asa - bass Daisuke Kaminaga - shakuhachi (bamboo flute9 Wasabi - drums Kurona - wadaiko (traditional drums) Highly recommend these two performances in addition to Senbonsakura.

This band is brilliant. They play music in many genres (pop, vocaloid, jazz, rock or metal), but the performance is always at the highest level. They have very positive energy. Recommended songs: Wagakki Band："Kyoukasuigetsu"+"Tsukini sakebuyoru", "Hotarubi", "Synchronicity", "Sabaku no komoriuta" all songs, of course live. Avoid original MVs, they are often blocked.
Yuko is a Classically trained pianist who also does shows with Orchestras and the second part of this is used by audiences to call for encores, the Noh masks are made to depict different characters and by tilting the head up or down the actor can change expression, if you look closely you can see his change from a slight smile to a frown,
No more cat skin on the shamisen, but they still do reptile skin in the southern islands. The bachi and tuning pegs used to be ivory but now are a synthetic material.
The style of the lead vocalist (Yuko Suzuhana) is shigin. Shigin is old and originated in the late Edo period (1603-1868) in private and clan schools that trained samurai children as they read Chinese poetry with their own stanzas. After that, it spread throughout the country as a culture of samurai singing poetry. Yuko Suzuhana, who won the 2011 National shigin Contest, started a unit "華風月-Hanahuugetu". th-cam.com/video/0m1y7m0HkvQ/w-d-xo.html Wagakki Band was formed in 2013 by Yuko Suzuhana with the aim of disseminating traditional performing arts to the world in a more pop form, centering on "華風月-Hanahuugetu". "Wagakki Band: (Kyoukasuigetsu) + (Tsukini sakebuyoru") is a great choice. and jazz number “(Synchronicity) / Dai Shinnenkai 2022 Nippon Budokan” is also awesome.
I love Wagakki Band, they are so (multi-)talented and unique. I recommend Senbonzakura (A thousand cherry blossoms): th-cam.com/video/Xjwe9WyO8Qs/w-d-xo.html It's their most well known song with 163 million views on the official video. It's actually part of their first album of vocaloid covers. The music video is great and filled with Japanese visuals, but it's getting blocked for reactors unless obscured. I instead linked my favorite live version of it. All their videos are safe to react to except for a few older music videos on the "avex" channel.
There is an introduction video of Wagakki Band. It's old, but here's an explanation of Wagakki Band ■Wagakki Band (和楽器バンド) in "Entertainment Nippon" on NHK World (05.09.2015) th-cam.com/video/MNGi1jpCC_I/w-d-xo.html ■PourQuoiCBien ... Wagakki Band ? th-cam.com/video/05HwWAK9N5c/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction. If you like this, then I strongly recommend you to try these following songs. Kyouka Suigetsu + Tsuki Ni Sakebu Yoru, th-cam.com/video/aWlMc-pbDc8/w-d-xo.html. It's an amazing fusion of metal and Japanese ethnic music with smoking solo of each member. Haru No Umi, th-cam.com/video/xkBgCVQ1DlA/w-d-xo.html. It's an old piece for the Koto (the horizontal harp) and the Shakuhachi (the bamboo flute) with a modern arrangement with additional instruments the Shamisen (the sree string banjo) and the Taiko (the Japanese drums). It is a short piece of three minutes +. BTW, the Shamisen really does look like a fretless three string sliding CBG but sounds more like a banjo and it's got animal skin on the body as well.
Gotta love shredding on a shamisen. They are awesome.
Young Yuko's voice is dangerously beautiful.

I've been seen this band all over You Tube. They're really something. There is so much music in the world. Awesome!
The mask the guitarist wears is an homage to 'Noh', their traditional theatre.

Good song, good reaction and good book on the keyboard -- a little pity that such books are still strongly needed in this century.

If you read this check out a band called The Dread Crew of Oddwood too!
I read every comment.
@@grandad.reacts :) Music is life:)
you should tune your mic volume up some 20%, right now there are massive gap between music and mic volumes

I'll be watching that, thank you
Yuko is my favorite of all the Japanese singers I’ve heard.
that shamisen is a cool instrument. i've got a pick for it in my glovebox - i call it an ice scraper !
Funny

Thanks, I'll look
Unfortunately you'd have to go to Japan this year to see them live. They're going on indefinite hiatus at the end of the year.
