    Senbonzakura (1000 cherry blossoms)
    This song is about the westernization of Japan. Despite having an upbeat, oriental track, the song contains rather dark themes, mentioning guillotines and ICBMs. In addition, the lyrics state things such as "Songs of lament go unheard" and "This is a banquet inside a steel jail cell".
    The song is taken from Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku has the original for this.
    Their entire first album was taken from vocaloid but has since written their own songs. They announced a few days ago that they will release a new vocaloid cover album on August 17 with known and unknown vocaloid songs "Vocalo Zanmai 2"
    Next song: "Kyoukasuigetsu + Tsukini sakebuyoru" (Two songs) From react tour 2019 or "Hakushu Kassai" from Daishinnenkai 2018.
    In my opinion, they only have good songs.

      The song is also based on real-life incident in Showa-era Japan called "2.26 Incident" where young officers of the Imperial Japanese Army staged a coup to restore direct imperial rule under Hirohito. But the coup failed which led to the execution of the officers and the military influence over the government further increased.

    I found this band only recently (regrettably), and was immediately convinced that this band has the highest level of musicianship (musicality/virtuosity) and showmanship (visual/theatrical effects)
    Actually, I think this band is among the best fusion bands ever existed, and the very best when it comes to originality and showmanship. Moreover, they can sing/play so effortlessly with smiles on their faces! Mesmerizing both visually and auditorily. As a live performer, this band is peerless

    The Wagakki Band is made up of top-notch musicians who agree with Yuko Suzuhana's (main vocal / sometimes piano) idea of "I want to send Japanese classical performing arts to the world more POP."
    "Senbonzakura" is a song included in their first album "Vocalo Zanmai", and when the music video was uploaded, it attracted worldwide attention. (Currently over 140 million views). It was an opportunity to tour in several countries such as France and the United States. They were also selected as official ambassadors for the Tokyo Olympics 2020, but unfortunately they were unable to activity in the Covid-19 lockdown.

    Wagakki Band terminated its contract with Avex in June 2019 and signed a global contract with Universal Music.

    Your pronounciation was perfect and you also did the sensible thing and split it into it's syllables, which often makes Japanese words easier to say. The consonants usually translate as one word too - here 'senbon' means 'a thousand' (though it also means 'a thousand needles' too; as is very often the case, words can have multiple meanings) and 'zakura' or 'sakura' means 'cherry blossom'. I've been really enjoying seeing your happiness (and jaw-dropping!) at discovering all these bands from Japan over the last couple of months and hope you'll keep exploring all the BabyMetal, Band-Maid, Lovebites, Wagakki, Nemophila back catalogues as well as continuing to discover other Japanese bands. Have to recommend, for more Metal-based awesomeness, Asterism, Ningen Isu and Aldious. And lots more Band-Maid....and BabyMetal...and Lovebites!

But as far as I know, Wagakki band is the only one that has succeeded in this type of fusion at this level of sophistication. I'm also currently not aware of any band like Wagakki in Japan.

    It's always a little weird watching WGB or any live music really when the crowd can't cheer, sing along, etc. Normally, the crowd would sing that little part at 4:07 in this video. It's fun to watch, I'm sure it's fun to participate in, but thanks to covid, the band has to do it all. It's like a barrier between the crowd and the band that neither side wants. It's sad, but hopefully it'll end soon enough. Hopefully.
    As far as where to go next, I'm going to suggest "Yoshiwara Lament" from 2017 when the band played on a makeshift stage in front of Heian Jingu, a Shinto shrine in Kyoto. The Heian Jingu show is one of my favorites from WGB, and this song has an incredible melody. It was written by the bass guitarist, Asa, and the performance is a lot of fun despite the song's dark and sad true topic. Here's the link.

Despite having an upbeat, oriental track, the song contains rather dark themes, mentioning guillotines and ICBMs. In addition, the lyrics state things such as "Songs of lament go unheard" and "This is a banquet inside a steel jail cell".
    Senbonzakura (Eng: Thousand Cherry Blossoms)
    With a bold and sudden calling
    Western Revolutions starting
    Let our hearts be open to it
    Pacifist nation

    Riding on a penny farthing
    It's the flag of our sun rising
    Warding evil spirits like an
    ICBM

    On the train tracks, running along
    the line
    Let us move forward,
    don't look behind
    Boys and girls becoming like samurai
    Just like those from our previous life

    Thousands of cherry blossoms,
    Dwindling in the light
    Though I can't hear your voice,
    keep what I say in mind
    This bouquet that surrounds
    is iron poison, see
    Looking down at us from that big
    guillotine

    Darkness has just engulfed
    the universe we know
    The lament that you sing
    can't reach ears anymore
    We are still far away
    from reaching clear, blue skies
    Go ahead, keep shooting
    with that ray gun, fight!

    Veterans who've trained through
    struggles
    Are now officers in battle
    Here, and there, we see the harlots
    in procession

    This one, that one, doesn't matter
    Every single person gathers
    March on to our saintly deaths, now
    One, two, three, four

    Passing through the gates on the
    mountain peaks
    Escaping this world, kill all the
    evil fiends
    Surely, this will end in a denouement
    Among the crowds giving their appluase

    Thousands of cherry blossoms,
    Dwindling in the light
    Though I can't hear your voice,
    keep what I say in mind
    This bouquet that surrounds
    is iron poison, see
    Looking down at us from that big
    guillotine

    Darkness has just engulfed
    the universe we know
    The lament that you sing
    can't reach ears anymore
    We are still far away
    from reaching peaks of hope
    Go ahead, keep shooting,

    There actually are at least a few other bands that combine traditional and modern music in similar ways. My introduction to the concept came in the early 2000s when I discovered a band from Sweden called Garmarna. They basically take traditional Nordic folk and Viking music to rock and metal levels of intensity. Then a few years ago I discovered Wagakki Band and was absolutely thrilled to see the concept taken to new heights Japanese style. Absolutely loving the ride! 😎🤘
    Edit: Actually I think my introduction to the concept came several years earlier. There is also a Scottish/Canadian band called Seven Nations that does Celtic rock. They don't really venture into metal territory, but well worth checking out if you like some awesome rock music with fiddle and bagpipes 😊

And if you check the last live they had before disbanding and before the vocalist passed away you can appreciate that harmony of the band as one and also with their audience, it is beautiful . I really hope one day you get the chance to react to them.

Their most famous member is Ryuichi Sakamoto who has composed many film scores, including the theme for Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.

    Pronunciation guide: Sen-bone-zah-koo-rah. "e" are said as an 'eh', "o" is said as "oh", "a" are said as "ah", "u" are said as "oo", and "i" are pronounced as "ee". The Japanese language is built around a few constantans paired with vowels. They are broken up in to A, I, U, E, O pairs, so the "K" sounds would be (KA) Kah (KI) Key (U) Koo (E) Kay (O) Koh

    This is it. This is the only one. No England. They did a couple shows in US but I was preoccupied traveling for BABYMETAL.
    Yoko the singer and leader uses Shigin in her vocals. It's a traditional type of poetry reading. Usually in chant. She has another group with 2 other Wagakki members. Hanafugetsu. It's older and she has a more modern style of singing.th-cam.com/video/hd0wAMhAKnc/w-d-xo.html
    She has a youtube channel. Here she sings in shigin and plays the shamisenth-cam.com/video/slhvr8s8VkE/w-d-xo.html

    Wolfpack's here and everywhere. No, there's no other like this group. They are one in a kind. This song is good for a starter. If you really want to see their insane and incredible real performance, try Toono Monogatari Yon-yon th-cam.com/video/WlSVRNAkVXY/w-d-xo.html. You won't believe it how only three Japanese traditional instruments can do insane performance. Amazing crazy solos.
    Kyouka Suigetsu + Tsuki Ni Sakebu Yoru th-cam.com/video/aWlMc-pbDc8/w-d-xo.html is a most unique and beautiful and epic fusion of Japanese folk sound and heavy metal. It is the best showcase of Wagakki Band with solo of each member.
    The banjo like instrument is a Shamisen but This type Futo-zao Tsugaru Samisen is a little diverged from a regular Shamisen. We can talk about instruments when you react to Toono Monogatari Yon-yon as mentioned above.

    In the anime "Bleach," the character Bayakuya Kuchiki has a sword called "Senbonzakura," and it has a special attack called "Senbonzakura Kageyyoshi" where the sword shatters into a thousand pieces, and the light reflecting off the pieces makes them look like cherry blossom petals floating before they annihilate his opponent. I kinda feel like this song annihilates me every time I hear it because it is just that awesome!

    Next song from Wagakki: 六兆年と一夜物語 (Roku chō-nen to ichiya monogatari).
    Other Japanese rock bands to check out:
    TRiDENT performing Ambivalent live th-cam.com/video/yGwWnOSvh5A/w-d-xo.html (I think a really underrated band as they are a 3-piece)
    Mary's Blood performing Hunger live th-cam.com/video/r9Mfj4xDClQ/w-d-xo.html (you might recognize guitarist Saki from Nemophila. this band just went on indefinite hiatus in April and this was in their last show)
    Aldious (they are currently without a permanent vocalist, so don't really have a specific song but I think are worth checking out as they were one of the trailblazers going back to 2008)

    The only comparable I can think of is conceptual: Steeleye Span in the 1970s combining 18th and 19th century english music with electric instruments. But even they didn't do traditional instruments, just traditional songs.

    Amazing reaction. :)
    Wagakki Band's mission is to introduce people with wagakki - traditional japanese instruments. Yuko' singing style called "shigin" and that three-strings instrument called "shamisen".
    You called them an orchestra... So you can react to their collaboration with Amy Lee and the orchestra with song "Bring me to life". I think you know this song but with Wagakki Band it sounds really different.
    Also you have to watch official music video "Senbonzakura" not for reaction-video... for yourself. It is so beautiful!
    Thank you for your reaction. I'm waiting for the next japanese music reaction :) And sorry for my English.

    the western equivalent would probably be folk rock, a couple of european countries have some good bands. ireland an germany come to my mind first. instruments include bag pipes, many different flutes and whistles as well as violins/fiddles. flogging molly or dropkick murphys frome ireland or letzte instanz and schandmaul come to mind.
