    I love Kiyoshi. I've been playing Warwick basses for over 20 years (I currently have two high end Vampyres), so when I saw Kiyoshi playing a Warwick at her level of skill, I was instantly hooked. No one will ever confuse her with a great singer, but I love how intense and emotional she is on stage.

    • @SomethingToDo360
      @SomethingToDo360 День тому

      “doesn’t stand out” Do you think she stands out well enough to be put in a top 10 for female Japanese bassists? Because I assume most people here would probably have more issue with her not being considered at all, while they see even less qualified bassists in various top 10 lists. That’s my impression of the situation anyway, but this is the first I’ve ever seen of her.

    Kiyoshi is awesome, and yes, she is somewhat underrated, based on a quick scan of a few hundred entries (on X) of the Japanese Bass Magazine's GreatestBassist2025 voting last week. I didn't notice any votes for Kiyoshi. From that sample it looked like it would roughly be a tie between Geddy Lee and Fami.

    • @SomethingToDo360
      @SomethingToDo360 День тому

      “why reaction videos never include Kiyoshi as a top Japanese bassist” If you mean why she isn’t included in a top 10 list, then probably for the following reasons: 1. People mainly promote their favorite musicians to reaction channels. 2. Their favorites musicians are usually based on their favorite bands. 3. They declare their favorite musicians as ‘top’ musicians. 4. Bands with the most fans are more likely to have members in a ‘top list’ that shouldn’t be there.
