Wagakki Band uses traditional instruments and incorporates them into modern rock. The banjo-like instrument is called a shamisen, the multi-stringed harp-like instrument is called a koto.
the flute is called Sakuhashi and the percussion instruments Taiko and the singing technique I can't place a name, but it is very peculiar with vibratos and nasal sounds.
@@wanderleyjesus6772 The style of singing and poetry is called Shigin, and the vocalist, Yuko Suzuhana, is one of the best in the world at it. She also teaches Shigin at university. She is also an expert in traditional Japanese dance, including with the fan (shi) and the sword (ken). When she does both together it's called Kenshibu. She also is a world class pianist and an excellent composer and lyricist. She is also the finest unknown vocalist on the planet and has no peer.
@@wanderleyjesus6772 shakuhachi 😉
@@mikeat2637 Thanks a lot! I learned a lot in just a few lines.
An acquired taste, supremely talented. And the lead singer is absolutely gorgeous !
The Shamisen is a 3 stringed instrument, banjo-like due to the skin stretched over the base. The 3 crystals are the knobs to tension the strings. The pick Beni is using to pluck the strings is meant to represent a closed fan, which is what was traditionally used.
The bango like instrument is called a shamisen. Also you need to see them perform with Amy Lee, of Evanescence, "Bring Me to Life".
I second this reccomendation!
In Japan they are one of the most difficult bands to get tickets.
Many Japanese do not know BABYMETAL or BANDMAID, but everyone knows WAGAKKI BAND and they are extremely popular.
And unfortunately, they’re going on indefinite hiatus at the end of 2024.
@@powbobs it really broke my heart when I first heard that, but since it just a hiatus, I just wish for their come back.
@@chihirohiro46
We all do.
Good reaction! The stringed instrument that she (Beni Ninagawa) was playing is a traditional Japanese 3-stringed instrument called shamisen or samisen. The "harp" is a Koto, Japan's national instrument and is a half-tube zither played by Kiyoshi Ibukuro. There is more traditional japanese instruments in the band, Shakuhachi (the wind instrument) played by Daisuke Kaminaga and the Wadaiko drums played by Kurona. Wagakki literally means traditional Japanese musical instruments. Singer is Yuko Suzuhana and she sings in Shigin, a traditional Japanese way of singing poetry. The other members is Machiya (guitar, vocals), Asa (bass) and Wasabi (drums). The band combines modern metal and rock music with the Wagakki and Shigin, and they are masters of their instruments. Another reaction suggestion would be Senbonzakura, which they performed live with Amy Lee from Evanescense. They also dis Bring Me To Life by Evanescence at the same conscert, it's a very cool version of it in my opinion. Sorry for the long comment but I hope it was somewhat informative :D
The japanese instrument is called shamisen. The three other traditional instruments are: Koto, shakuhachi (flute) and taiko (drums)
And ....... Kathy couldn't stop smiling !
Never mind, you have a lovely smile so keep on smiling.
Enjoy the music that is still coming.
A big smile from the Netherlands 🙂
I would wear a fake smile if I had to react to this crap too
@@nativetexan9776
Well aren’t you special.
it is a shamisen. they are a freaking amazing band love the mix of new and classical instruments. great reaction!!
Wagakki Band and Band-Maid are best bands from Japan ! I love this performance you call tell they are top notch ! Band-Maid is a all female band "Play" Official Live killer song =) Nice Reaction to Wagakki Band Their so good !
You should check out Aldious been around since 2008 have about 80 songs in their discography and they have no bad songs and play multiple genres.
Yuko Suzuhana (lead singer) is a composer, Shign master/instructor, Kenshibu master and plays classical piano.
"Wa" is the pronunciation of "Japanese" as a race. "Gakki" is the pronunciation of Music Instrument. The band's name is literally Japanese music instrument.
Wagakki; 和楽器 = traditional Japanese musical instrument
Thanks 😀
They performed with Evanescence.🙂
This is 2 songs the first is an instrumental called Homura. Wagakki is Japanese for Traditional instruments.
Wagakki is the word for aĺl traditional Japanese instruments together. The Shamisen is a three-stringed banjo-like instrument, traditionally often played by Geisha with their fans used as a pick. Since this wore out the fans they have been replaced by the icescraperlike tool.
Please do explore the Wagakki Band more. Posts by Frank Garcia often have English subtitles.
Another new band for me that I really enjoyed. Thank you ladies, great reaction as usual.
Thanks
Vuelvo a vuestro canal de reacciones a canciones (muchas me gustan) , tres generaciones de encantadoras y preciosas mujeres a las que les gusta la música!
Gracias por los videos y mucha suerte, deseo que os vaya muy bien.
Un saludo desde España.
Thanks
I will say this a million times, ASA's Bass neck lighting up is so freaking cool!! He's a talented bassist!!
This is actually two songs. The first (all instrumental) part is "Homura." The second part with the incredible vocals is "Akatsuki no Ito" which is still their best song, IMO.
The lead singer is also a QUEEN of fans AND sword play on stage. Many of their songs do feature her work. Benni who breaks your mind when she pops up), is my fave from back when she was just out of school and posting vids of rock covers while masked and, well, being leggy! The rock drummer is also a sushi chef as a hobby. They work lotd of history bits into tour videos in Japan. They were supposed be the official wellcome to the Tokyo olympics band but disease happens.
We are respectfully waiting for your reaction to BAND MAID the best Japanese female rock band. You are missing the Best.
This double feature was also my introduction to them a few years ago and been a fan ever since! Such an interesting fusion of traditional and modern styles, instruments and music. They were all accomplished artists beforehand but even for them it took more or less a year to figure out how to make it all work. Never have I seen an eight person ensemble where each instrument (including Yuuko's voice) is so clearly audible and equal in creating their sound.
For future reactions I definitely recommend the live versions they did of 'Sebonzakura' and 'Bring me to live'. Not only do you get Amy Lee as guest singer but they also have a friggin' Orchestra playing along!
Now that you've reacted to two of my three favorite bands (the other being the Warning) here's hoping that Larkin Poe will follow. Awesome band fronted by the Lovell sisters that has just won a, well deserved, grammy in the contemporary blues category. ua-cam.com/video/eIdg03SuvB0/v-deo.html
Great reaction. These are a couple of suggestions from a Japanese person. Haru No Umi (Sea of Spring) is an old Japanese instrumental piece written for Koto (the horizontal harp) and Shakuhachi (the bamboo flute) in modern arrangement with additional instruments a Shamisen (the three string Banjo, the pick is called Bachi BTW) and Taiko (the Japanese drums). ua-cam.com/video/xkBgCVQ1DlA/v-deo.html (It's a short clip) The sword dance is a Japanese traditional sword dance called Kenbu.
The other suggestion is Kyouka Suigetsu + Tsuki Ni Sakebu Yoru. It is an amazing fusion of heavy metal and Japanese ethnic music with smoking solo of every member. ua-cam.com/video/aWlMc-pbDc8/v-deo.html
Another one with a shamisen you would like is Tokyo Groove Jyoshi and the song “What is Hip”
Check out their song with Amy Lee from Evenesense.
Wagakki Band...❤❤❤❤❤
Another Great song by Wagakki Band is "Guernica" Japan Tour 2020 Tokyo Singing ! This is a anti war song ! Guernica is also a anti war painting by Pablo Picasso =)
It's "Guernica".
Thanks@@raull2761
The name of the Japanese group is Number_i. Please listen to their debut song Goat, and their UA-cam music video has been listened to 30 million times in less than a month.
THANK YOU❤
For Wagakki Band, I like their song 虹色蝶々(Nijiiro Chouchou).
Oh and Donna yeah I think that leg lift is a salute to Ian Anderson (flute for Jethro Tull) though you might be just a bit young for that reference. And THIS is what Yoko Ono was tryng to share al those years ago.
I absolutely adore Wagakki. They are a Japanese national treasure. I mark them as my 3rd favorite Japanese band, right behind Band Maid and One Ok Rock. My favorite of theirs is this performance: Kyoukasuigetsu+Tsukini sakebuyoru: This cut starts off with lead singer Yuko Suzuhana performing mostly with an accompaniment from her husband, Kiyoshi Ibukuro, on the koto, then it takes off from there:
ua-cam.com/video/aWlMc-pbDc8/v-deo.html
Diana Navarro in "Cuplerías".
Yea can only agree to Donna . This is awesome
I grew up watching a lot of old Japanese horror films, and Samaurai films from the '50s. Always loved these instruments very woody sound, natural and relaxing.
For more traditional folk metal bands, check out The Hu, a Mongolian band that it is amazing.
Cant wait for my Lisa stansfield request ❤😊
you ladies should see this band with amy lee do bring me back to life. it’s an amazing show
pleas react to senbozakura and hana fumurai this two song is really good
Well if nothing else the comments should prove to be a MASSIVE learning curve for you 🤣😉
" YOSHIWARA LAMENT " or " SYNCHRONICITY " should be good follow up songs - Wagakki Band are awesome !
try heilung - anoana (live/lifa)i think you will like it
why? Did you choose such a quiet song?
If you want to listen,
It must be Senbonzakura!
few people can play the shamisen as good as Beni Ninagawa with the exception of the lead singer yuko suzuhana
I love Yuko to bits, but she would be the first to admit that she is a novice when it comes to playing the shamsin (she doesn't actually play the mainland shamisen, she plays it's island cousin).
day 5? with a rather large break inbetween day 4 and 5 of asking for So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold
Please react to SB19

You should check out almost anything by Steely Dan, especially on the Aja or Gaucho albums.
You'll definitely want to check out musical genius multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier's crazy vocal range. He just won his 6th Grammy. All kinds of genres and styles, both covers and originals. Songs like:
All Night Long, Don't You Worry Bout a Thing, Hideaway, Little Blue Mahogany Sessions, Wellll, All I need, Sleeping On My Dreams or the old fashioned classic Moon River. Bridge Over Trouble Water just came out too.

Oh my god, what the hell have they talked you into watching?
You guys really need to check out “ An unhelpful guide to BABYMETAL “. Very informative on how they got started. Entertaining too. Sounds counter intuitive but it’s really not.
it's pronounced "wah-gah-kaki"....try their song "Senbonzakara"......

F.HERO x BODYSLAM x BABYMETAL - LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND [Official MV]ua-cam.com/video/7rdc-QV6P6s/v-deo.html

Welcome to the world of Wagakki band. One of Japan's most popular bands. They were officially created in 2013 by Pianist, composer, poet, and shigin singer Yuko Suzuhana.
Homura (flame) is a Machiya (guitarist) instrumental that they only perform at concerts. Akatsuki no ito (thread of dawn) is also written by Machiya and is used by the audience as an encore chant.
Wagakki Band translates to Japanese musical instrument band
Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo = Hibiya open scene
They have released 7 studio albums and there are many live videos on YT. Just stay away from anything uploaded by Avex. Will be blocked for sure.
Choose video from channels such as CC W, Frank Garcia and Wagakki band's own YT channel.
For you ladies I recommend live version of IZANA
Wagakki Band - Izana / Manatsu no Dai Shinnenkai 2020 Yokohama Arena [ENG SUB CC]
Good post! Incidentally, it is my understanding that Yuko is married to the large piano-like instrument (I don't recall the name of it) player, and that they recently had a baby.
@@mikeg.4211 Yes, Yuko is married and has a child with Koto player Kiyoshi Ibukuro.
Band maid "thrill" is good.
Seriously!
Pronounce it wah-gaahh-key (extend the gaahh a bit longer than the other syllables). For a more familiar song, listen to their version of "Bring Me To Life" with Amy Lee (live, includes a small orchestra also)
Cool Japan.They are so good!! ⛩✨🥰🤘
Definitely unique. I need to add this band to my list of dozens of other bands from Japan in my Japanese rabbit hole.
Tengaku and Yoshiwara Lament are the best wagakki band songs in my opinion.
pls do them :D
please take a look at wagakki band's collabs with amy lee ❤
These are a japanese progressive rock band very creative style fabulous to listen too....
Try versailles ......I believe you'll love the fashion .....
“Wagakki” is Japanese for “traditional instruments”
The band was founded by the shigin (classical poetry) singer, SUZUHANA Yuko, who is also a classically trained pianist. She developed the concept of fusing Japanese traditional instruments and musical tropes with modern western music. The full band consist of eight musicians, three on western instruments (bass, guitar, drums), four on Japanese instruments and Suzuhana-sama on vocals and sometimes piano.
The “lute” thing is a Shamisen.
The “harp” thing is a Koto.
The “flute thing” is a shakuhachi.
The Japanese drums are collectively called “wadaiko”.
Yes, you’ve heard these instruments a million times, in movie soundtracks, when they want to convey a Japanese atmosphere. Here is a video that really lets you see up close all the instruments and how they work together: ua-cam.com/video/Q2meWkWqc-I/v-deo.html It was originally written for a “Vocaloid” which is an electronic virtual singer-essentially an AI. In Japan (where else?) vocaloids have actually become pop stars. What can I say? America may be the land of innovation for things like tech and social media, but in music no one here cares any more. Most of the creative action has moved to Europe and Japan.
Finaly. Wagakki band thank you for this 🥰😍 love you all 😘
My 2nd favorite band that started the Japanese rush just released new collab. FHERO & BabyMetal, 'Leave it all behind."
Please react to Lisa Homura from Demon Slayer.....
She play a shamisem ❤❤❤
左の女性の笑顔が可愛い(๑ˊ꒳ˋ๑)
As a half-Japanese.... I'm ashamed that I never heard of Wagakki..... Gomen asai.....Sumi masen...... The Shamisen player was great!!!!
ONE OK ROCK renegades
Ak at suki no "EE"to
brand new .... this band is awesome check out Synchronicity it is a 1940 style Jazz piece.
Shamisen is the 3 string instrument.
Check out the video below for more Shamisen music.

For the combination of western and asian music, i can very much recommend The Hu - Shireg Shireg (Acoustic Performance).
Wagakki Band of course has a duet with Amy Lee, which is quite cool.

Wagakki Band is a true supergroup. This is from their initial tour in 2015 and have gained a global fan base. I also think you would like their performance with Amy Lee of Evanescence doing "Bring Me To Life", an excellent arrangement that Amy Lee has said it could be the best done. If you would like to see the group do something with a little more of the traditional aspects, check out the live music video for the song "(Gobousei) + (Homura) /Tour 2018 oto no kairou". It is just amazing and shows all of the group's talent in one spot.
Beni steps up with her tsugaru shamisen and the whole world changes. The "crystals" on the shamisen are tuning pegs. The plectrum she is using is called a bachi. Imagine playing a 3-string banjo with a cake spatula. 🙂
She’s singing in Japanese but she has a country twang to her voice , there amazing for sure
Found a new band today! I might have to give you a two-fer if you enjoyed the koto (flat stringed instrument). The Chinese version is called the guzheng and there is a lady who covered the song Playing God by Polyphia on it. It's... so mindblowing. You should look up the original song Polyphia ft. Steve Via - Playing God and then the cover by a lady named Moyun.
On a semi-musical note, if you're interested in Japanese music I suggest just diving headlong into it and their culture. I was fortunate enough to visit Japan this year and got to delve more into their history and culture. They incorporate so much traditional styles into many modern ones, but really work on preserving the origins and uniqueness of it.
There is also a guzheng player that performs on the streets of Paris who does a pretty decent cover of Smooth Criminal.
As of December 31, 2024, Wagakki Band will suspend its activities indefinitely.
Noooooo! Where did you hear this from? By indefinitely, do you mean a hiatus?
@@MFPhoto1It's on their official web-page, in Japanese. Based on an auto-translation (DeepL), they want to pursue solo projects, and there's a suggestion that they intend to reform later, but that could be a mistranslation. As I'm sure you know, "indefinite hiatus" is often a euphemism for permanently splitting up. I'm sad too. I'd at least like to see them live once.
@@kicorse Since my posting, I found that statement on their website. I can understand them having outside musical interests they would like to pursue. That does not mean the split is permanent, though it may be a few years before they get back together, and even then they may not have the exact same lineup.
I sure they meant re-form, and not reform.
I have seen this band before, but quite a while ago.
I thought this tune and playing was excellent.
I was surprised to see the drummer have tattoos on his back. I have only seen it once before as the former female singer of Aldious had tattoos on her arms.
Tattos are frowned upon in Japan as they are usually associated with the gangs they have.
The tattoos are drawn on. He changes them with each performance.
@@ShikataGaNai100 I did wonder that. Thanks.

TRIVIA: Lead singer Yuko's husband is the koto player. Yuko is a world class shigin singer.
