So dope I've always loved the Shamisen's sound and it works really well with the tap dancing and bass of that drum. It almost sounds like a Hip-hop beat.
AMAZING !!!. "The Stripes", the first dancer name:HIDEBOH. The finest japanese tap dancer i've seen. The best. The other 2 dancers were HIDEBOH students: RON×! and SUJI. The percussionist: Noriyasu.(he is a tapdancer too). I have a full dance concert video in tokio named ... ZATOICHI SHOW. I will share you but ...please... share me the originial wmv or avi file of this posted shamisen vs.tap video. please. Thanks. !!!
God, this is brilliant! I've never heard the Shamisen played in such an up-tempo, jazz-influenced style... Anyone know of any links to more of their stuff?
That was some good tap dancing. I loved music accompaniement. the dance was the bomb!!!! I started tap when I was 40 years old, had no idea of the intense training it entalied. You guys are very good tappers.
Blown away by this video, the Vancouver Chinese Music Ensemble will be responding with a concert on May 26, 2012 at the Chinese Garden. Come check out what happens when creativity snowballs and inspires others. Taps and Twang: Strumming Drumming and Tapping of bluegrass banjo, Chinese banjo and contemporary tap dance.
They're called The Stripes I think. And they're sooo good. They also did the 'famous' ending tapdance in Zatoichi! (you must see that one, it's great!) (ps- correct me if I'm wrong xD)
OMB! (Oh My buddha!) F... Awsome! That bass from the drum really put it together. The instrument is nicely done and also still have room for more instrument if they want to. That is nice. Thanks for the post...
Tsugaru-jamisen. You can tell them apart because the Tsugaru-style's neck, strings and tuning pegs are thicker and heavier. The style's very different, too. You couldn't slam the pick onto a Nagauta like that; it'd snap it in half!
please... tell me where do you was found this great video. ?... what is the original website?... i'm fanatic of the Stripes (the japanese tap dancers). Please tell me... where do you get this video?
i recognize the set and I agree... the show is really like Japan's answer to Jool's. but I can't remember the name to save my life... it's along the lines of "Music 21"... sorry I couldn't be much more help btw - *favorited*
10 years. still watching this.
So dope

The bass comes from the drum at the back (a bit in the dark)
Great performance....
No, the guy playing the shamisen did not have his eyes closed because he was into it, they were open all of the time
What the Tokyo Shock Boys tell their parents what they do for a job....that was one of them on the drum for sure!

Is that, "Dawnlight" by Hiromitsu Agatsuma?
The strings on the Shamisen are like rubber bands!
Whoooah, funky. XD
