My old friend/former band-mate (the one who literally generated anything unique about our songs, basically _was_ the band) could do this insanely well, one day out of the blue nonchalantly reproducing the melody from a song we had just heard on the radio while instructing me and other friend to do some chord/counter-melody ish on the regular boring-old key side of the piany in some nifty dynamics/juxtapositions that recontextualized the song in a novel way (can't remember much other than that it was cool and I hadn't even considered it before then). But yeah, it's a thing I guess is my point, the only real limitation is how taut the strings are, assuming a plucking/pizzicato technique or whatever.
I'd imagine learning a new instrument is like learning a new language; you'd pick things faster the more instrument you play. Jokes aside, you really need to appreciate the hours ichika put everyday to practice with intent.
This is just convincing me that he would make a good piano player. I get the feeling he already has piano experience... his melodies feel like piano to me
Oh man, never thought I'd see ichika play one of these, I impulse bought like 10 of these on a Japanese auction one day... He really can play anything with strings
No matter what instrument he plays, Ichika is still Ichika
What? Holy crap no way
ina
WAH! That is true
My god theres a tako here to tako bout ichika skills
@@idiaz_ed869 guitako
“What instrument do you play?”
Nito: “oh I play the typewriter with strings”
Under rated bro 😂
@@srivishalmore9 thanks man haha
I think you mean a piano my good sir 😅
@@reececox666 lol maybe
Funny enough the inventor of the Taishokoto (this instrument) took inspiration partly from typewriter keys.
i’d like to imagine this is his first time ever using the instrument and he just took it out of the box and started recording
That is in fact what happened. I can confirm it. I was there.
@@kuro2797 what
Can confirm. I'm the instrument.
U mean he is just god given talent ? Or u would like him to be ? Bruhhh
Can confirm. I was the cable on the floor
At this point I’m pretty sure Ichika could play a piano without the keys, just dancing on the strings or something and he would produce angelic music
He already plays the harp... he'll do it eventually, we just have to wait lol
I think he said in a Q&A on his channel that he originally played piano for many year before starting guitar.
you're just describing a harp basically

@@artirony410 not many people knew that Piano is string instrument, which basically Harp laid down with small hammer to "pluck" it.
Legend says he can play any instrument
Ehem.....with strings
I wonder if he can play mayonnaise too
Drum
Rob Scallon: why do i hear boss music?
“He was so deadly in fact, that his enemies would go blind from overexposure to pure awesomeness.”
I want to see what he can do with a triangle
Or a cowbell
He probably hasnr done it because its too easy
Your pfp is what I imagin ichika doing
Ichika: gets new instrument
Also ichika: Kowalski analysis!
Ichika's getting too good at everything else. They had to start inventing new instruments just for him.
"Introducing the guitar 2.0"
The koto was invented somewhere in the 3rd to 5th century
But yes. He's unstoppable.
mmh koto has almost always been part of japanese culture
@@itsaneel you don’t like jokes huh
@@itsaneel this instrument is very different from a koto
おばあちゃん子あるあるだと思うけど、大正琴には接したことあるけど，こんなにチューニングしっかりしてて，こんな爆速で弾いてるの見たことは決してない。
he can just play anything with strings at this point
He can just play anything
What about a violin?
I'd me more surprised if he made a vid called "I cannot play this instrument".
I could hand this man a sweater with a loose thread and BOOM- New Mozart.
Yesterday,I see him playing girl with g string
This sounds like a combination of folk music, video game music, and a wild west movie soundtrack and it's epic
I’m convinced he could play any instrument flawlessly given 10 minutes with it
Some like the violin is pretty tough to learn in 10 minutes, but he'd get good quick!
He's never tried a wind or brass instrument has he? I think that would take him quite a while. But any stringed instrument, yes.
I'd imagine learning a new instrument is like learning a new language; you'd pick things faster the more instrument you play. Jokes aside, you really need to appreciate the hours ichika put everyday to practice with intent.
@@wob6776
He’s a god of music
He’d figure it out
@@max_sparbot
Woosh
Sounds like the two best samurais are about to fight
Yes lol
Sasaki Kojiro vs Miyamoto Musashi, Not samurai but would still fit lol
I've said it before, and I'll say it again now - we all need to hear ichika playing the traditional koto
God damn. This man has musical talent for EVERY stringed instrument
Ichika sometime in 2030: "I play the saxophone for the first time"
@@galalahmed708 Ichika: “I’m just trying it out” *Plays magnificently*
For months I've been trying to look for someone else who plays the taishogoto and later find my favorite guitarist playing it UwU
This is either epic boss music or dance music
I don't know which one
Yes, it is
Sounds like Touhou.
It sounds like a Merry Melodies deal. Going along with a scene, we just don't see it
okay ichika you can't be more talented than this, give us a hope man.
i really like this one actually
0:42 - Ichika with the freaking synthwave intro. I love it.
ichika : what is this? oh it got strings. aight imma record a new song, just lemme practice for 10sec.
0:08 the battle has begin
Ichika discovering a new instrument: "Hmm... Nito."
No puede ser más increíble esta persona, la melodía y lo que crea es de otro mundo. Gracias
no one could ever deny that ichika is pure genius
This is just convincing me that he would make a good piano player. I get the feeling he already has piano experience... his melodies feel like piano to me
Father: Play guitar.
Mother: No no no no ... Play piano
Grandma: No play our traditional instrument.... Koto.
Him:
Grandpa: you should learn to type
Oh man, never thought I'd see ichika play one of these, I impulse bought like 10 of these on a Japanese auction one day... He really can play anything with strings
man: electric guitar or koto guitar?
Ichika: Y E S
Everyone always talks about how great you are at music but...
I always love your outfits 🤌
Imagine Ichika being a videogame boss then this is the theme that plays
this absolute legend can play anything you give him
Ichika rlly said “how can I play this” as if he doesn’t automatically have complete mastery over every instrument.
I don't have words. This is *insert highest praise possible*!!
He can play anything at this point
Beautiful sounding instrument, and one of the most unique I've ever been lucky to see.
Great playing, on top of that!
This man is combining two instruments he knows well. Piano and guitar, its like this instrument was made for him!
My favorite instrument to hear you play for right now. Really great please play more
Ichika and Rob Scallon should have a competition to see who can play the most random instruments when playing them for the first time.
I remember when you had barely 10k subscribers. I'm so glad you've come so far. You really, really deserve more.
This guy could pick up a $20 guitar that hasn't been tuned for five years and still make me feel bad about my playing
Sorry. I ruined it. You had 69 upvotes.
I ruined it because I'm right there with you.
:,)
This man can play anything
a modern day rakugo session supported by ichika on the koto guitar sounds incredible
"So you play the guitar huh, but can you..."
Ichika: yes
The clarity of the sound 😭✊
Ichika you cant become this good this fast, please lower your power level for us mortals
You are a spectacular musician! You never cease to amaze in your growth!
This tune is more metal than some of the actual metal music out there right now.
It goes back from the roots!!
You’re really an artist by blood.
feels like watching a concerto
I have a feeling that Ichika has been getting lessons from Ling Ling themself
i think this confirms it, hand ichika any stringed instrument, and all of a sudden all the worlds knowledge is transferred to him.. Amazing
This guy can get a completely new instrument and play it like a pro right then and there
This dude is insane. This is what I subscribed for.
*Legend says he can play any instrument if any string attached on it*
Boutta buy one, holy hell. I did not expect such greatness coming from this instrument
Koto Guitar Player: *"Why do I hear boss music?"*
Unquestionable, he is a master of stringed instruments.
This and some beats would be an amazing soundtrack to a samurai fight
i really dont think you need instructions on how you can play this ichika, you're doing it pretty well
Can you play "I miss you" in koto?
I subbed when this man had 1k subs, not surprised he's at 1.45m rn he's a musical genius
sees ichicka vid: *click*
Ichika, you so talented...luv to watch more of your videos in the future ❤️❤️❤️
Day 61 of asking Ichika to do a collab with takayan
He's so good it's not a question of if he can play it, it's of a question of how can he play it
Majestic ✨✨✨✨✨
Also, wonderful video! His hands look so beautiful ✨✨✨✨✨
Anything Ichika plays sounds good
i loved this so much more then i thought i would
Piano/guitar love child... they were ahead of their time.
Whatever ichika decides to play instantly becomes an Instrument including this ancient typewriter
Ichika, man, you're incredibly talented.
I'm so happy because I see an article about your last vídeo!
a este genio le das algo con cuerdas y te acaba sacando una melodia de los dioses 💖
That's the best video you have ever put out. The beginning reminding me of early Led Zeppelin...or better.
exactly, ichika. hOW THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING THIS YOU’RE TOO TALENTED
Absolutely amazing
it sounds incredibly good, i am amazed!
Wow! You always amaze me 😁❤
THIS IS SO AMAZING WHAT THE HECK
O cara é um deus dos intrumentos de corda vey namoral kkkkkk ❤❤❤

Woah! Fraggin beautiful!
This was waaaaay cooler than I thought it would be
It sounds so lovely!
always itching to hear more ichika.
beautiful instrument you have and 10/10 performance
I love that traditional instrument.
This sounds absolutely amazing.
NICE. I'm almost worried with how fast new content is coming out that there'll be a new wave of reuploads, but this is great!
This gently hand swipe at 0:50 just got me
大正琴だ
家にあるなあ、演奏の仕方分からなくて放置してたけど、こんな綺麗な音出るんやな凄い
This sounds amazing 😍😍
You're so talented!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
so dope to see him play the koto 🙌🏽
I got the chills the moment he started playing
i think each of his finger has it's own mind, that will explain why he's so good
This is simply amazing ❤️✨
You never fail to impress us
Ichika got skills yo
like
holy hell this is good
Wow! Sounds great!
When I die I want Nito to turn my corpse into beautiful music. Sounds ridiculous... But... Then again... Ichika could totally pull it off.
