When a very good director and sound designer are just chilling and relaxing with each other and the director says: "so what have you been working on recently?" "Oh just some side projects. Here listen to this:" Twenty minutes later the sound designer asks: "so what do you think?" "I think we can make a pretty good anime out of it." And that's how series like this get started and its awesome.
@@fadingspace7103 probably not. It probably actually involves a lot of producers and behind the scenes kind of guys bringing everyone together to make lots of money. But it would be cool if it was.
This anime has been a great surprise for me. I didn’t expect it to be as good as it is. Especially the way it exemplifies how good playing involves more than just playing it “right”. This definitely needs a season 2.
My favorite anime this season and this song just rocks. If you close your eyes and listen to the music, your mind and soul go on a journey through the ether to a place you'll only visit in your dreams and leave you in euphoria.
The quality of the music & the attention to detail in the animation of the hands & strings in correlation to the song. Man I wasn't expecting to roll into this anime and see such excellent work. Underrated show of the season with maybe just Vivy as a close second since so few people are watching that atm. I bet by the last episode a ton of new people will have picked it up on the recommendation of others who've been following it. This is one of those slow build shows with highly engaging moments that have a lot of viral potential without even knowing who the characters are or what the show is about. Love this!
This show is such a great visual representation of what makes music so great. It takes you on a journey and makes you feel all sorts of intense emotions
This is better than the series which had the Koto as the musical instrument. They only had brief moments of music playing after being pent up to,listen to full performance. This series though a little weak on the characters gives a musical tout de force on the shimisen. Please watch and enjoy.
Cool! I play the guitar, drums, keys, ukulele and bass, and wanted badly to play the shamisen, I mean this instrument is so cool haha. I only didn't do it yet because of the damn high prices if you want to buy one, it's ridiculous expensive :(
Be closer to call it a Japanese Banjo and that is not a insult to either instrument. Both of mentioned instruments have a tight skin over a interior chamber instead of a holed wooden sound chamber. (using non musical terms for these) Banjo is round metal rimmed and more shallow under the skin with a edge the Shamisen a deeper chamber not round and no rim.
Exclusive but thats the beauty of the samishen you can play a variation of the the same song and make it your own the music is supposed to be more from the soul when playing the samishen and so you wont really hear a song that sounds like another when it comes to this instrument
Of all the anime I've seen, this has to be right up there with the ridiculous nature of anime in general turning the most mundane things into shonen level battle moments.
Spoiler While I love the music of this series and all the supporting characters the Mc is a whiny little girl. That ending scene of him on the ground on his hands and knees crying like a baby was pathetic. Horrible way to end the show.
if you haven't watched it yet, the MC, black haired guy here, lost his "sound" when his granddad passed away and is trying to find it again. Almost every episode has a great performance in it.

Willie, I agree
Tried it and its jus cap, 0 outa 10, would never listen again

Love this!
In all seriousness,the sound of shamisen is truly amazing & it really has this special way of touching one's heart..The power of music is ♥️.
Their duo went to a frequency that drenched their viewers as well as the animators.
Imagine how lit the studio was during recording
One of my favorite times Setsu plays. He was so happy afterwards.
This show is such a great visual representation of what makes music so great. It takes you on a journey and makes you feel all sorts of intense emotions
the story is good and the music is getting better and better
“Masaka! MASAKA! They’re the same type of shamisen?!”
I see u in every comment section
@@frozenduck74 literally everyone has
anyone else have their brains autocomplete the title as "Chemical Romance"?
FOR SCIENCE! 🤖
I'm really enjoying this show, it deserves more attention.
The feeling when someone matches your vibe perfectly is very rare
Reminds me of that video of those two dudes on the subway in New York with saxophones
That was captivating as hell!
Man the instruments spittin fire 🔥

1:56 Thunderstruck vibes
this episode was so cool
The full song, available on Spotify, is even richer and deeper than this!
I love this instrument
Damn I’m vibing to this
They power level it's....it's....it's over 9000 😱
the only instruments i’ve played are the piano, and ukulele, i think i’ll learn the shamisen too
Cool! I play the guitar, drums, keys, ukulele and bass, and wanted badly to play the shamisen, I mean this instrument is so cool haha. I only didn't do it yet because of the damn high prices if you want to buy one, it's ridiculous expensive :(
imagine how lit the recording studio was! XD
Wooooof. Actually brought tears to my eyes. Hooray for synesthesia + Purple Hearts + Geek Out.
Can't wait till I am typing speed grandma pops up in clip for this 😂
Hopefully one day we can the soundtrack without talking
i ve been watching this video a lot, meybe 20 times by now, beautifull sound
This is like the A train sax battle
It's always those 2 band kids I swear 🤣
US: We got guitars!
Japan: We got guitars too!
US: ?
Well actually the Banjo is closer than guitar as they have similar bottoms for reflecting the sound.
Legend says they still fighting
True
And will never end
That sounds good! I like Shamisen music!
Love the music really relaxes me
Awesome Those Snow White Notes Video.
How long did they practice that? Seriously good job.
The musicians are the yoshida brothers, some of the world's best shamisen musicians!
This looks like Food Wars but with shamisen (the 3 cord Japanese guitars they are playing).
Be closer to call it a Japanese Banjo and that is not a insult to either instrument. Both of mentioned instruments have a tight skin over a interior chamber instead of a holed wooden sound chamber. (using non musical terms for these) Banjo is round metal rimmed and more shallow under the skin with a edge the Shamisen a deeper chamber not round and no rim.
This Is Really Underrated Though
Wonderful anime
That gave me chills
Nice to see Japan trying to promote parts of traditional culture. Wish western media did this more often.
We need a show about a harmonica
@@mr.s5165 that would be amazing
God I love this music.
Anyone else thinks the music they played sounded like a track from the Yoshida Brothers?
I read on the internet, the musicians who are doing the real playing are in fact the yoshida brothers. They are just unbelievable amazing.
Baby Chan 💕
I absolutely loving this.
This show is great. If you're not watching it you should be. ☺️👍
Is this an actual piece of music, or is it exclusive to this anime?
Exclusive
Exclusive but thats the beauty of the samishen you can play a variation of the the same song and make it your own the music is supposed to be more from the soul when playing the samishen and so you wont really hear a song that sounds like another when it comes to this instrument
Shall we have a cup of tea as a sign of a great battle?
really underrated
Dueling banjos--I mean, shamisens! 😜
Oh this is so much better!
Really digging this show!
I want MORE!
*chemistry*
Guitar hero Japan tour lol
I like it
This just reminds me of Ninjara’s theme from Arms XD
It sounds like 2 people playing electric guitar with no amps
What is the version of Jongara Bushi?
The mc accent sounds like a country guys in america
My God 👏👏👏👏👏👏
What is the instrument again?
Shamisen

As much as I love the music in this series, their incessant need to talk over every song for most of it's duration drives me insane.

Tin tin tin tin tin tin tin tin tin
Anyone else being reminded of Dueling Banjos?

While I love the music of this series and all the supporting characters the Mc is a whiny little girl. That ending scene of him on the ground on his hands and knees crying like a baby was pathetic. Horrible way to end the show.
Que sucios esos tipos sea quien sea que haya tocado en la vida real, no cualquiera toca así un instrumento.
This is just Food wars all over again
8th comment HHAHAHHAHA
It just sound like an inferior guitar to me.
What a boring anime premise...
What is this anime
And what is it about
if you haven't watched it yet, the MC, black haired guy here, lost his "sound" when his granddad passed away and is trying to find it again. Almost every episode has a great performance in it.
Food wars the musical.
