I have been in love with this voice for 5 decades, and still get excited every time I pick it up. People ask me why (one man today in fact) and I tell them this is my true voice, and that I get great joy every time I even pick a shakuhachi up.

尺八のある国に生まれてほんとよかったと思います。知れば知ほど、興味が湧いてきます。作るのは、呆れるほど面倒くさいけれど、それをやってのける人たちのいることに感動しますし、超シンプルな構造ゆえに演奏する人間が変化しなければ美しい音にならないという点などに、すごく素敵なものを感じます。未来でも「竹」と音色は永遠にかわらく美しいんだろうなって思います。

I am totally overwhelmed wiht his mastery of the shakuhachi; he controls the flute so perfectly!

[@dillonsnyder1172]

The entrance music was phenomenal. It's everything a Shakuhachi should be

[@miroevermoss]

I still try to figure out how this tune is called or was it improvisation? It's absolutely mystical and powerful as how I enjoying the shakuhachi magic

[@KonradKavallieratos]

Yes wonderful playing

[@ChrisDowgin]

Its great fun playing on the street. Especially when the listener does not see you right away. It is like giving everyone their own soundtrack music to carry them away on their journey...

[@pablosakamoto7394]

Muy buen trabajo, muy completo para ilustrar nuestro conocimiento sobre este maravilloso instrumento. Soy descendiente de padre japonés y recibí un shakuhachi como herencia de mi padre. Ya he comenzado a practicar, este video me ha llenado de inspiración y estoy muy motivado y enamorado de este ancestral instrumento. Gracias a Nippon.com por publicar este grandioso, inspirador y mistico video! ¡¡¡DOOMO ARIGATOO!!!

[@moonolyth]

Wow-what a wonderful example of the mechanics of making sound. Loads of information just watching you..Thanks, Much !!

[@danmckay2056]

How great to see the next generation not only discovering the shakuhachi but also mastering it! Cudos dude

[@Bruce88keys]

The Breath Of Fresh Air

[@Crytoma]

Beautiful playing

[@GaleonGuitar]

Knowing that the instrument had a religious significance makes me realize it probably wasn't a coincidence that Wagakki Band decided to use the shakuhachi to play the intro and also the solo in the song "Tengaku" 天樂 , which roughly translates as "Heaven's Song".

[@phantomopera2012]

awesome observation

[@vyrewatch12321]

3:30 sounds just like morning ost from naruto

[@REDMANNATION]

Truly truly beautiful... thank you

[@theoracle42]

[@BONECOSHERMES]

Belo instrumento, som divino

[@Peekingduck]

The first and last piece of music touches the soul and makes me miss Japan soon much.
Thank you

[@douglasseng7300]

[@miroevermoss]

Still searching for the same

[@Sarahmint]

[@MrTitian]

Fantastico!

[@datengugod]

[@timbertim6993]

Beautiful I will keep practicing!

[@yassy588]

素人ながらに感じたことを書きます。尺八という楽器は竹に５個の穴があるだけの筒。
歌口は繊細だけれど、根気よく時間さえかけて削れば、よい状態にもっていける。で、一番大切なのは、尺八を演奏者がどうとらえているか、、それで違ってくるような気がします。
それを簡単に判断するのは、ファッション。音楽的な話は到底難しいけれど演奏者のファッションが実は、尺八をどう思っているか！を如実に表現してしまっているって思うんです。
ＫＯＭＯＩＮＡＴＯさんの世界、とても新しくて大好きです。

[@yassy588]

大好きなキヨシローは、浪人の格好をしたり、
ほら貝を吹いたりしていた。大きな声で飛び跳ねて、子供のような楽しげな、はにかみ笑いしながら。僕の理想像。キヨシローが尺八を手にしたら、電飾をつけて世間をアット言わせただろう。
ビカビカに輝かせて、ロックの中に尺八をカッコよく響かせてみたい。なにせ、太陽系を離脱したヴォイジャー探査機に尺八サウンドは搭載されている。この瞬間も超高速で道の星間空間へぐんぐん突き進んでいる。

[@yassy588]

このゆれる音階に、物凄い魅力を感じます。
言葉を超えてる。草むらの虫の声が泣き止んだ一瞬の雰囲気とか、つくつく帽子が飛び立ったあとの静寂とか、、到底、言葉にできない奥深い感性みたいなもの、感じるんです。心から魂をよさぶる音色だと思う。ギターやフルートでは絶対表現できない。

[@conradpower7724]

I really want to know what is the tune with which the video starts. It's so mystical

[@kjell159]

Nobody seems to really know the song around 3:30 but does someone known the name of the microphone he is using?
It's not a condenser, right?
I only have one microphone (Shurez SM 58) and I started experimenting on it for shakuhachi recording.
Maybe some tips? :)

[@ThunfischXXx]

fucking weeaboo

Thank you for the information! Didn't saw it myself.

[@李明-g4t]

为什么音色让人有融宇宙为一体的感觉，是因为内腔有涂有朱砂，朱砂的频率跟人体的频率相同度极高，这个从中医里看出来的，因为朱砂长期服用也没事！

[@iamjimfan]

Such a brilliant theory

[@zarbithechti]

Kominato Akihisa touche drôlement sa bille. Quelle aisance !

[@rv706]

Why waste the shakuhachi in stereotypical elevator music (with a Western scale, btw)?

[@rosiecarynutcracker777]

👍🥰🇵🇷💜

[@吉川妙子-m9j]

。

[@justhesuntheseandus]

Je trouve que seul le honkioku va au shakuhachi et pas les melodies occidentales.

[@IIrandhandleII]

No
