We can see the japanese are giving this their heart and soul. The fans of bluegrass aren't dumb we just know when someone outside our culture is doing right by our culture. It took people a while to appreciate Elvis Presley's rendition of Blue Moon of Kentucky and in some levels a lot of OG bluegrass purists went to their graves hating Elvis' version.
My youngest has been after me to get a TikTok. I haven't yet, I figured us geezers already took over Facebook and MySpace. But I can appreciate it. Who knows, maybe the traffic from TikTok will give these fine musicians a chance to get the stardom they deserve .
Well that's because a lot of Japanese music relies just as heavy on strings as bluegrass does. I think it's a natural progression in their musical tastes to appreciate all string band music.
We need to track down this band and get them back together for a some gigs here in the States. Hell, at the minimum at least making some more videos. I could listen to them all day.
Fox On The Run She walks through the corn leading down to the river Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun She took all the love that a poor boy could give her And left me to die like a fox on the run Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, on the run Everybody knows, the reason for the fall When woman tempted man down in paradise’s hall This woman tempted me, and took me for a ride Like the lonely fox, I need a place to hide We’ll pour a glass of wine, to fortify our soul We’ll talk about the world and friends we used to know I see a string of girls, who’ll put me on the floor The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
Simply beautiful! Thank you Folks! I’m in my 60’s and still consider Bluegrass the purest form of music. Invented in America but loved by the World. You Kids do a great job!
Such an excellent song, a person can’t even listen to it without having fun. I can’t play an instrument but know it must be a blast to play it with friends.
Very entertaining group of young Bluegrass musicians that sing and play in a very cheerful upbeat way. Quite a unique group for that part of the world.
I love bluegrass I have to thank mother for introducing me to bluegrass gospel and through it to the mountain music no matter who plays it these guys are great
Only thing wrong with this.....it could have been about another two minutes longer. lol LOVE IT!! Their passion for a it is contagious. ....and I'm an old Tennessee boy, for whatever that's worth. ...and now a fan of these folks. Can't wait to see anything else they do.
I remember visiting a random bluegrass live band bar in Yokohama with a friend, and had such an amazing time there. I wanted to tip the band for how great of a show they put, but they wouldn't allow me to. There were like 30-40 customers and we all had a great time.
I watched this about 15 times before I noticed the Rocky Top sign, lol, this is exactly the embodiment of why music and the internet are beautiful things. Imagine showing this to the first Portugese and Dutch to ever reach Japan and the old, old school bluegrass players.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! YOU ARE AWSOME! LOVE YOUR SONGS AND YOUR TALENT AND MUSIC. PLEASE DONT STOP ! KEEP PLAYING AND COME TO THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS IN EAST TENNESSEE AND NORTH CAROLINA TO PERFORM. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
From Boston what do I know about Bluegrass other than I like it. I consider Bluegrass American culture that actually got created in the United States. I’m so happy to see these people enjoying themselves and making this lovely music.
From Kentucky and been studying Japanese for a few months now. today I remembered a bluegrass broadcast form a few years ago featuring a Japanese band and this has given me a new connection to japan I had forgot about. We may seem quite different but ever rural Ky and modern japan can have an appreciation for each others cultural.
They were going by the name Red Bull when I came across them.. not sure if they still do. But if you search that name and the Elvis Costello cover Everyday I write the book you will not be disappointed:)
Their English isnt the best, but I think that gives them their own unique sound. This is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen in my 32 years. I love bluegrass, but i become more in love with it when i see people with no Appalachian roots playing it. It basically says that our music is so profound it can even reach people on a south Pacific island on the other side of the world.
I love not only how much Bluegrass caught on in Japan, but how genuine it is. Even original bluegrass songs written in Japan sound like they could be american. It's really beautiful how a style of music can be kept so perfectly traditional on the other side of the planet.
It's very genuine and they're definitely enjoying themselves. American Bluegrass has been gotten to the point where it's just a competition to see who can outplay the other.
As a genuine Swampbilly (from the swamps of Florida and the foothills of Appalachia), who grew up on Bluegrass I absolutely love this!
as a dude who had this music playing at every family reunion in saskatewan, i looove it
brought to you by the culture of people being absolute mad perfectionists at everything they touch
undeniably true, I love Japan for that reason
Would have made Bill Monroe happy, then.

I've never seen a bluegrass band work a single mic as good as this band. Excellent version. One of my favorites.
As a Kentuckian banjo player, this makes my heart smile. Excellently done.
As a hillbilly it brings tears to my eyes that parts of our culture is happily shared with world.
As a human, I like this.
@@timesthree5757 More than you know sir.. Greetings from Turkiye
Also a KY native. I’m from Lexington where you from?
As a Michigander banjo player whos mommaw and poppaw moved up here from Ashland back in the 50s to work for Ford, me too my friend. ❤
The lady playing the banjo is just too precious⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She's so adorable! Such a rock star
I agree❤
She gets 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@TheeDavidDee who is she??
@@fidodidotriplex i have no clue but she's adorable
The two people who gave this a thumbs down, apparently don't know what traditional bluegrass is, because this is IT. Great job.
As Tennessean that grew up, "pickin' and a grinnin"", to bluegrass on the front porch of my home , this makes me so happy.
Very well done!
I’m also a Tennessean who grew up a bluegrass fan. Loved this as well. It’s amazing to see a culture so different appreciate the songs of our culture.
If listening to this doesn't make you smile, than nothing Will!...Great Job
the smiles on their face says it all
Saw you on Tiktok and had to come to TH-cam to get more! WELL DONE!! WE WANT MORE!!! 👏👏👏
Same here! It's incredible!😊
This video is 8 years old.
My youngest has been after me to get a TikTok. I haven't yet, I figured us geezers already took over Facebook and MySpace. But I can appreciate it. Who knows, maybe the traffic from TikTok will give these fine musicians a chance to get the stardom they deserve .
Growing up with bluegrass, this just warms my heart.
Mighty fine picken and a stringen!
that was some nice Banjo Pickin' there Young Lady
I've been playing banjo for 45 years and have always loved this Tom T. Hall song. These people do an excellent job with great verve!
so sad I am just now discovering this I had no idea the Japanese had an affinity for Bluegrass! absolutely beautiful.
There is a You Tube Channel entitled Take's Bluegrass Channel. That has a lot of Bluegrass including U S.
Well that's because a lot of Japanese music relies just as heavy on strings as bluegrass does. I think it's a natural progression in their musical tastes to appreciate all string band music.
wait until you find out about rocakilliy in japan,
50's cars the whole thing, japan and america has a significant cultural exchange....escpecially for the non main stream
we dont have to tell you about anime in america... hahahaa northa america in general, mexico loooves goku
You Young Folks are Great! I have lived many years in the Ozark mountains of Missouri listening to Bluegrass music, And I play Banjo also.
大好きなブルーグラス、バンジョー買って練習した日々ももう昔。やっぱり優しい音楽。忘れられない、もう一度挑戦しようかな・・・有難うこのチャンネル
DAMMMMNNNNNNNNNN!! AWESOME!!
It’s amazing how blue grass has effected so many different cultures
Just subscribed looking for more videos, and absolutely love the happiness on their faces. Great job.
We need to track down this band and get them back together for a some gigs here in the States. Hell, at the minimum at least making some more videos. I could listen to them all day.
このバンドすごく楽しそうにノリノリで見てて楽しいです♪
５人で声乗せるとこも綺麗で鳥肌立ちました！
Absolutely AMAZING coming from the heart of the Shenandoah Valley…. Pickin is pickin an pick on
Rising sun of Kentucky keep on shining
Underrated
Why I can't believe I've got Bluegrass family in Japan! Awesome!!
Fox On The Run
She walks through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, on the run
Everybody knows, the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise’s hall
This woman tempted me, and took me for a ride
Like the lonely fox, I need a place to hide
We’ll pour a glass of wine, to fortify our soul
We’ll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a string of girls, who’ll put me on the floor
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
So glad I stumbled on to this. Very good young folks! Music truly is universal.
As a native Tennessean, you do ROCKY TOP proud! I'd love to hear more from you!
Absolutely one of the best renditions of this I'v ever seen!!
They love bluegrass in JPN and they are great at it!!!
I could listen to those five for a long time and join in! Thanks for the video!
Simply beautiful! Thank you Folks! I’m in my 60’s and still consider Bluegrass the purest form of music. Invented in America but loved by the World. You Kids do a great job!
Awesome band, great job!
Just a boy from Kentucky here and I LOVE YOU GUYS!! So insanely talented and genuine. Thank you for the appreciation of our culture 🙌🏻
You guys are killing it! Great job!

It's just the cherry on top....very nice!
Yep
Such an excellent song, a person can’t even listen to it without having fun. I can’t play an instrument but know it must be a blast to play it with friends.

チップを上げたいという気持ちで充分さ
A true bluegrass band! A group of family and friends making life better with a little music.
I watched this about 15 times before I noticed the Rocky Top sign, lol, this is exactly the embodiment of why music and the internet are beautiful things. Imagine showing this to the first Portugese and Dutch to ever reach Japan and the old, old school bluegrass players.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! YOU ARE AWSOME! LOVE YOUR SONGS AND YOUR TALENT AND MUSIC. PLEASE DONT STOP ! KEEP PLAYING AND COME TO THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS IN EAST TENNESSEE AND NORTH CAROLINA TO PERFORM. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Wv girl here!! I showed all my family and they love them!
From Boston what do I know about Bluegrass other than I like it. I consider Bluegrass American culture that actually got created in the United States. I’m so happy to see these people enjoying themselves and making this lovely music.
I saw this on Fleccas Talks.
8 years late to the party but better late than never.
It came to you at the right time
Absolutely awesome !! I hope they are still at it...I'd love to see them next time I'm in Japan...
From Kentucky and been studying Japanese for a few months now. today I remembered a bluegrass broadcast form a few years ago featuring a Japanese band and this has given me a new connection to japan I had forgot about. We may seem quite different but ever rural Ky and modern japan can have an appreciation for each others cultural.
I can’t comprehend how difficult it must be to sing in another language. Great work guys.
This is my favorite rendition of this song
Much love to you all from Atlanta G-A! Y'all are the real deal!
you guys were having so much fun ! I loved it
The vibes are IMMACULATE
This is so tight!!!! Really really good!! Thank you so much!
I love this, they've got amazing energy!
Watched a program about Japanese Country and Bluegrass music today on PBS. Called "Far Western".
I really love you guys. Fun, good instrumentals, vocals and harmony. Keep it up!
Splendid performance
I knew Bluegrass players had accents, but yours is something special... 😆
Greetings from East Tennessee!
breathtaking! Exellent, love this !
Wow you folks are awesome!
1:19 that was a GREAT fiddle solo!
I musically grew up in a folk club.... acoustic music from around the world... except these guys...
Nice job!

That dude's voice was solid and had a little twang! Nailed it!
Yall need to come to nashville and play some bluegrass!
Absolutely love it! Great work guys! ❣️👏🏼👏🏼😄
One microphone, as nature intended.
And they know how to work it perfectly.
What's the name of the band? These guys cheer me up like nobody's business!!! Love the banjo picker's expressions.
They were going by the name Red Bull when I came across them.. not sure if they still do. But if you search that name and the Elvis Costello cover Everyday I write the book you will not be disappointed:)
Oh I love this! I'm telling everybody in Georgia about you!
Amazing I love this cover
Love this. You guys are great!
music is the universal language.
Great job by all of you ! luv it!
WHAT!? That was GREAT! Good job! Keep it up!

How nice to not see anyone bitching about cultural appropriation in this comment section
