I’ve been wanting to learn shamisen and In all my research I didn’t even think about the dead animals and how playing is like giving offerings, it’s like how hunters will use every part of an animal they kill so that the animals life isn’t wasted.
Can he speak english? I am trying to learn Japanese but it is hard and coming slow so I want to know if i get a chance for him to be my teacher, if i can understand him.
well it's just annoying that my nagauta shamisen was only 190$ but a tsugaru costs about 800 dollars. I suppose because they are difficult to make, speaking from experience. You can only get them online or in japan or if you are really lucky on craigslist.
@@1Hawk2Hawks you can get a working digital piano for less than 1000 to learn with. And a fantastic top tier one for a few grand. A decent shamisen is well over a grand and unless you're in Cali or New York, you also have no where to get things fixed it things go wrong so you'd have to send it far away which will cost hundreds. It's an awesome instrument but not really accessible outside Japan.
Not the mention the spectrum is expensive AF. I finally saved up enough to purchase a shamisen, but could only afford a wooden plectrum, and knowing how important flexibility is realized it wasn't even worth learning until I could get hold of a proper bachi. All the cheap bachis like acrylic and wood are way too stiff to be useful.
It's called a "kakegoe". It's not a sneeze - he says a short "HUP!". It actually has a purpose, which is to indicate (if he were playing in a group), that he is about to move on from a semi-improvisational section, or to indicate that there will be a change of phrase, or that the end of the song is coming in a few measures. They use the kakegoe in solo performance as well, to convey a sense of purpose and immediacy. Think of it like a Kiai in karate, where you yell to intimidate your enemy.
The market's been developing a range of substitutes that are becoming more viable compared to traditional materials (there are high-grade synthetic skins and bachi blades available now, as opposed to traditional cat, dog, or tortoise). The itomaki (tuning pegs) are purely cosmetic, which means the player can swap them out for whatever material they want for their aesthetic. While he uses ivory ones, they're a rather decadent luxury; wood is the traditional standard, while acrylic is becoming a popular option for a more modern look.
My respect and adoration for Niya comes in tremendous amounts. Hope i can meet him some day or see him perform live!
Anyone after seeing Those Snow White Notes Setsu playing it??
That anime it's great and I wanted to know more about this wonderful instrument so here I am. haha!
Same haha it's such a good anime so far
@@comodinlovelymonday6790 same haha
If Setsu hears this, he will be disgusted the recording quality is bad or he is not playing well. The ripple hurts the ear
Guilty as charged. I never thought I'd get hyped by listening to someone wail on a shamisen.

It was very strong yet gentle, calm but angry, weak but also strong, years of hard work and love come from the song

子供のタブレットを借りて投稿させて頂きます。
日本人達の庶民が風土と共に発展させて来た三味線文化
忍弥さまが気になる音……に目覚められ
サンタさんが願いを聴きいられお手元に三味線が届き
高校時代には一人暮らしの大変な中
一度は離れられましたが
三味線に戻られたその大切な時期に
敬愛されておられた
師匠を亡くされた喪失と不安を乗り越えられ
大和魂の深く宿った力強い演奏の
今日に至られた事に深い敬意を感じます。
忍弥さまはもとより日本人達が危惧している
日本の伝統文化の衰退を
日本の国をあげて早急に食い止めて欲しいと念願致します。
忍弥さまの益々のご活躍と
三味線文化の演奏並びに製作者さま方の
ご発展並びにご活躍を祈念申し上げます。
感謝 邂逅
It is, and always will be; my absolute favourite instrument. I am not even Japanese.
Sameeee !! 😊💃 I love this instrument after watching Nitaboh Anime movie
What about the Koto?
Agreeeeeeeddd shamisen has something innate in it
This and the koto
It's literally a drum and a string instrument at the same time. It's amazing
Great Tsugaru Shamisen playing!
I know, right? I was so jealous, LOL
That was very pleasant. Thank you for work & art.
This was really powerful stuff!
It's almost next impossible to find a Japanese teacher to teach any of the japanese music instruments in the Seattle area.
There are a few I know who will Skype.
Check out bachido.com
That's the best source for anything Shamisen related and can help you get in touch with anything else Japanese music-wise
Amazing musician, i respect him alot.
Get yourself a hypeman like Niya's drummer.
two ladies that also sound so great together go by KiKi or Ki&Ki here on YT
Es tan hermoso el sonido del Shamisen
Mashiro no oto fans here?

A beautiful instrument - But better to leave it be unless they can find a substitute for elephant tusk/tortoise shells and so on...
