    Of course 輝と輝 are amazing players but what people don't talk about enough is what incredible composers they are! This is such a beautiful piece of music that incorporates traditionally shamisen techniques with modern musical elements like syncopation.

    I believe that it's not only we but also yourself as well as the camera man who enjoy this nice playing amid the fantastic place with great echos.
    Since actually I jumped into this clip from the camera man's channel, I'm happy to finally see the finished music clip, knowing of the behind scenes : )
    It's a nice combination of the shamisen playing, kimono, location and the sound.
