I think it really just depends on whether or not you distort it lol. I'm sure if you put the shamisen through a guitar amp and cranked the gain you'd say it's metal. Maybe add some drums for good measure.
the two girls, very talented, were watching their finger placement on the fret just about the entire time they were playing. the old man, however, is so masterful that he just looks straight ahead at the audience. incredibly impressive.
Fun fact: there are no frets on a shamisen 😊 finger placement is solely based on memory/sound..the only clear “indicator” is the line of separation/connection when you assemble and disassemble the shamisen’s neck
I wonder how much work must have gone into becoming so skilled. These folks are amazing and I’m so happy to live in a world where this kind of music can be shared!
As a Vocalist having worked with all sorts of musicians in a band I was in with my friends, I cannot stress how much STAMINA it takes to play this....it's like full-blown cardio and physical session....one of my closest friends plays one and she taught me that BREATHING is huge...she usually is very tired after performing but she loves it...
Well mate if you ever get your hands on a shamisen I would love to hear you make that thing twang. I love the twang sound it makes and then the clap the sound wave makes when it hits the far end of the room is just soooooooo addictive. I only listen to 90s dnb and jungle and anime ops due to being autistic but I love that twang that only a shamisen performance can make. Easily my favorite instrument besides bass guitar bass and saxophone and sax like things
It's amazing how the students likely learned from the master in the center, and yet all three have such vastly different sounds and styles. The first woman had a very harsh, pounding, sound in the best way that felt like a storm. The second girl had a sound evocative of spring; very light and free. And the master's was a whirlwind and barrage. Not as light and free as the second woman, but not as pounding and driving as the first. It's so interesting how much personality they can put into their music like that
I know right? Makes me want to give up everything and burn all my savings by devoting a year of my life learning this instrument I wanna make that twang clap noise. I'd say I'd learn longer but I don't have a lot of savings inflation really ruined my future goals
It's because the shamisen is constantly losing tune. The strings stay tuned for around a minute and start losing tune. Kind of a flawed instrument in a way.

Ancient japanese shredding
Nah man. This is bluegrass.

Sabbastian Wilson-Webb metal for sure
Def metal with all the fifths. The shamisen is even tuned to an open power chord.
The bluegrass Shogunate version

You can't compare age and experience with youthful enthusiasm.

What frets? There's no frets on shamisen.
One of the aspects of the Japanese that I love the most is their reverence for national treasures.
@the 48thRonin Tween lecturers who drop f-bombs are treasures above all else.
津軽三味線、凄いなぁ❗素晴らしの一言です。福士豊秋師匠日本の宝。ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
The girls preform as Ki&Ki (輝&輝) and have a lot of very good videos on TH-cam.
+Riff Raff but who is the man they are playing with?
+Fritz Fritzl Thanks for that, really appreciate it.
Do you follow Tokyo lens as well?
I ha e purchased all that I can find on iTunes from Ki&Ki including one called KiKi band. I love them.

Never Gets Old
Just Better
Who's watching this in 2020?😊
Don't you think this is a great play?
I love it! ❤️
me!
I do, he was a wonderful player indeed!
estoy viendo Mashiro no Oto y m enamore del sonido por eso estoy aquii
Comparto tu comentario, también lo estoy viendo e increíble anime y sonido
me either
De igual forma estoy viendo ese anime, el sonido del shamisen es increíble.

xD Nos invadió el retumbar del sahamisen
I don't know why but this instrument registers for me as the most metal traditional instrument I've ever heard.
The old man was shredding so epic he made me cry!
This is actually cool and not so easy to be performed. The musicians a very talented. Thanks for sharing.
Talented=thousands of hours of practice
The guy looks like he's in heaven when he plays
гут
I am attracted too these woman.
@@freehugs9223 I know which one you like
the middle one
@@Sikawi hahaha, you got me there bro
That's because he's actually already dead. He died an hour before this performance (anal gas gangrene) - wikipedia
three more reasons why the shamisen is amazing!
I'm pretty sure they can put on any resume: "I can annihilate a shamisen" and it would be a legitimate credential. They're skilled.
このビデオが大好きです。
Asia has so many beautiful cultures.
福士豊秋様の素晴らしい演奏に感動致しました。ご冥福をお祈り致します。
wunderschön.Danke.
ребята молодцы. с 3х струн столько разнообразия. завораживает
感動しました見事な呼吸でした

I love how tuning the instrument is part of the performance. So creative and clever.
It's because the shamisen is constantly losing tune. The strings stay tuned for around a minute and start losing tune. Kind of a flawed instrument in a way.
That girl rocks, I could hear horses galoping from that instrument.
Boss in the middle shows how it's done!
Impressionnant et super beau
My guitar suddenly feels too puny.. Awesome stuff!
Entry to learning this Shamisen is quite high as the instrument is very expensive.

Hello mako fitosan,
Memoir of Geisha music was Conducted by John Williams :
Violin solos by Itzhak Perlman. Cello solos by Yo-Yo Ma.
Shakuhachi solos by Masakazu Yoshizawa.
Koto solos by Masayo Ishigure, Hiromi Hashibe
By the way, I have read memoir of Geisha, at home, in English, a long while ago, and I watched
the preparation and the construction of the movie in America.
I also like to listen to shamisen played by the pretty girls KI&KI and Yoshida brothers.
One of them came to Paris, and I was there, at the Maison de la Culture du Japon à Paris 👍
パリ日本文化会館
If I have the chance to visit Japan i will go to Kyoto and Gion.

@@moussasuwwan8623 oh, thank you! So it is NOT a shamisen I hear on the track "Brush on Silk", but rather a koto. I will go listen to some koto music now! Thank you for all the suggestions!
What I love about this music is the charming use of sliding/wide vibrato, amazing!
Use listen to live performances when stationed in Okinawa,Japan. Awesome!
God, the second girl is so beautiful...and talented!!!!!
2:12 some bluesy sounding=)) Superb show!
I'm pretty sure this is not what the old Samurais got to listen to. Probably modern influences here.
@@RackwitzG To oversimplify it, japanese music uses a lot of pentatonic which is also used in blues.
yoshida brothers haaha love them.
would rock to be able to play on that awesome instrument.
Japanese Banjos. Truly an amazing art form.
芸能とは、この様なものを言うのだろううな～！
あっぱれ！
ただただ凄い！
I love this, wish there was music like this played live in Portland.
The Japanese garden in Portland occasionally features shamisen performances.
You mean to tell me that some hipster douche hasn't jumped on that bandwagon yet in Portland? 😂
すべてのこのビデオは素晴らしい音です。
Hey its Kiki I love them! They look so young on this video :)
I wish i was there to see this performance live.
THANK YOU AND STAY BLESSED IN YOUR TALENTS!!!❤❤❤
Can you imagine them playing electric guitars?!!!
This will never get old.
Right? I love shamisen solos by master players so much. That crisp twang clap it's just....so good. The only time I've ever felt this good was when I learned what bass guitar is and this is still better
I never tire of listening to this.....
These artists have perfect talent from my POV.
you three have reached true perfection.
thanks for sharing this amazing and awesome playing artists ! Even when you do not like this kind of instrument, it sounds realy heavenly...
Love it 😮 you can make melody’s with just a few strings 😳 wow
Rimi Natsukawa is a great singer who plays shamisen. I believe she is Okinawan, but still great!
Fantastic Tone! Got inspired to practice on my Shamisen Now!
True musicians who love their craft. Excellent performance!
Thank goodness for youtube! We would never find anything this interesting otherwise. Wonderful!
So the ki-ki sisters are there too uh, nice
Gracias a Mashiro no Oto encontre esta música pero aun estoy esperando la tecnica Nagauta

Every time I hear this instrument I get such an urge to start fighting!
Even more, if it's combined with drums
😂
xddddddd
@Haya AlawadhiTo fight along side the villagers against the bandits, of course.
This is a wonderful music~~~~~~~~~~
Bravo et merci beaucoup !

I love it so much, When I heard this i so happy.
Amazing performance!
So cool, thank you!
かわいいしすごい腕前！
perfect flow

Thank you for your music. I love it all so very much. It is absolutely fantastic.
I love this music! great performance!
the man played beautifully as well. focus!
す、すごいサークルですね！ 五輪開会式でもこういうの、やってほしかったっす。(開会式観なかったけど)
平均律に慣れた人には妙な音程に聞こえるようだが、津軽三味線を演奏する人はみな同じような音程で演奏する。そこが津軽三味線の味だと思うんだけど、外国人がどこまで理解してくれてるんだろう
