- Kanami from Band-maid has a new PRS signature guitar that looks killer and I thought i would watch the video to learn more about her and the guitar. #prs #kanami #bandmaid #prsguitars #prssignature #guitar #guitarist #
What makes Kanami so remarkable is she feels obligated to work even harder as a musician and composer to warrant having been given a “Signature” model. Who else thinks like that? She is so deserving even if she isn’t a household name around the world.
Thanks for doing this.
There are so many Japanese guitarists who use and praise PRS guitars, but PRS chose Kanami to be the one and only player, and Paul Reed Smith himself handed it directly to her. That means a lot. BTW, what a humble and nice lady she is!
I love Kanami's humble demeanor! She sure deserves this honor from PRS! Congratulations 👏!
Couldn't agree more!
I love that she wears he maid outfit to receive the honor. Mincho is all about the Band-Maid. She and the band are special. A well deserved one.
@raybl9295 The rest of her band mates were in the audience to watch and cheer for her! Akane was crying happy tears the whole time! These ladies are sisters beyond music! Band-Maid usually wear their "Battle Armor" to interviews and appearances.
@ Yes, I agree with all that you stated but that still doesn’t diminish her humble reception of this honor beyond just for herself even it’s all her talents and hardworking that brought her this personal honor. How many of the artists today would do that? Wish Kanami for plenty more honors coming her way.
@@raybl9295 All deserved!
Beautiful to watch this. Kanami: a brilliant guitarist, an excellent songwriter, a wonderful human being and now honored with a PRS signature model. Can it get any better?
I made mention of Misa's custom bass in the video for Onset. But Miku, the Rhythm guitarist, also has a custom Zemaitis guitar called the Flappy Pidgeon. And even Akane, the drummer has signature drumsticks made by Wincent. So the fact that everyone has a signature item, is pretty astounding.
Carlos Santana is Kanami’s biggest rolemodel 🔥❤️ And yes, first Japanese artist. Paul Reed Smith personally handed the first one to Kanami 🔥❤️
Not only first Japanese artist but the first female guitarist to get one
@ I think Orianthi was the first one?
@@bocatampere I did check the PRS site. 9 guys have one but Kanami is the only female to be given one.
@ Yeah, this was discussion before too. I think Orianthi was there before so it was maybe somekind of Limited or..Not sure. Or maybe you are right 👍
@@bocatampere Yes Orianthi has a Private Stock Orianthi Limited Edition. Kanami got one of her own a few months ago presumably before she knew show was going to get a signature mode. ( guys under the Signature artists such as Santana, John Mayer, Mark Tremonti etc. Orianthi appears under the Official Artist List. No matter both great guitarists
$5980 for the US market before tax. When i was in japan last week at a PRS store they said the 100 US, 50 Japan and 50 for the rest of the world. in the US and Japan they were all gone in 48hrs.
Thank you for the info, $5980 obviously is a lot of money, however for a signature or private stock model thats the sweet spot.
Earlier this year, Kanami bought a PRS Private Stock guitar spec'd out exactly the way she wanted it. It was a 24-08 in smoke-burst yellow tiger stripe quilted maple with 85/15 pickups: a fairly standard set-up for PRS. But it's a gorgeous guitar that I'm sure she ordered just to reward herself for Band-Maid's 10th Anniversary. She had mentioned that she might get one during a product introduction demo she made for PRS a few years back. Many will wonder why she picked out such "standard" pickups rather than exploring other, more eclectic choices. Her commitment to Band-Maid may be the reason why: all her other guitars are equipped with 85/15 pickups and her rig and amplifier are set up to produce "her" tones with those pickups. For Kanami, it's the convenience of not needing to twiddle about and change anything when swapping out her guitar: put one down, pick up the other, and continue playing.
The run of 200 was mostly GONE if not entirely sold out a day after being posted for sale. You will have difficulty locating one. Collectors jumped on this. I briefly considered plopping down the $5,980.00 list price, but decided that it was above my talent level. Maybe I'll buy something similar after I become a better guitarist.
I had the same reaction but now I'm considering a Custom 24-08 SE
Word has it that they sold out in six hours.
Parsing the wording of the press release it implied there may be more signature models. It would be in Kanami's character to have a budget model like Santana has to supply demand from the younger fans.
That would make sense, especially all the young players and more so young women picking up a guitar for the first time.
According to the PRS website, there are nine guys mainly from the US with a Signature PRS. Some one else mentioned that she was the first guitarist in Japan. Sort of, not realising that she is the first female in the world. The bird fret markers are "Brush Stroke" birds. The top face looks like a shimmering water surface- so beautiful. Prior to receiving her Signature model she had just acquired a new PRS with what I call Tiger Stripes- Yellow body with black vertical stripes- some one else will know the correct title I'm sure. I do know that some people have bought more than one at around $6.000 each.
Kanami is not the first female to have a PRS signature model, that would be Orianthi, she got her first Private Stock signature in 2017 and now has a few more including an SE import model.
Orianthi was the first female PRS signature guitar in 2017 when she was 32 (Kanami is 33).

Each of those 9 guys are American citizens. Two of them are foreign-born but grew up here in the US. So Kanami is the first actual foreign artist that the American company honored with a signature guitar. Very very impressive.
I saw it somewhere, 100 allocated for the US, 50 for Japan, and 50 for other countries. The price is approximately $5.7K without tax.
The first song Kanami is playing is Magie ( German for "magic", pronounced mah-gee)) She also plays From Now On, followed by Memorable.
Notice that finger stretch? Tiny hands don't stop her at all. There's a picture of her at Guitar Center Los Angeles where the players have their handprints on the sidewalk. Who's prints did she choose to stick her hands in? Steve Vai.
Her private stock model is yellow, but is otherwise pretty similar. So far we’ve only seen it in the MV for Forbidden Tale (and probably at some concerts).
Kanami plays her new PRS signature guitar in the music video for "Zen" which will be released on January 5.
Thank you for the info, much appreciated.
The KANAMI signature limited edition is sold out! But you can pre-order the PRS KANAMI without her signature, delivery January 2025
I heard of 2 in a small guitar shop in a Tibetan monastery high in the Himalayas but you can only get there by foot or catch a ride on a Flappy Pidgeon PO !🕊🍌🍻☕🚂
Good stuff
Thanks for the visit
🤘🤘🤘
$ 6000 they sold out in one hour
She plays the Private Stock in the music video for Forbidden Tale. So far, that's the only place I've seen it played.
She used the signature for the first half of the Hanedi show and her private stock for the second. I was there last week.
Sold out 24hrs
... in the US and Japan, but still not sold out in Europe (most were in a week, but the last ones are still available from Musicstore).
Not sold out as far as I knew from dealers. Yap but likely the one that most the dealers have are sold out(maybe the first batch of 200 or the rest for other countries than Japan&US). So if someone still wants it, just keeping contact with dealers.
@@MnPofBM there's no thing like "first batch of 200" - the model is limited to 200.
I got one about 40hrs later but they were getting really hard to find
@@realdocloco what I meant was those limited 200 are not released/made all this time but maybe only 100pcs or 150pcs out of 200 and the remaining one will be made a little later because one of the dealer call me back last week and told me try again next Year. Or They haven’t release the one that allocated for other countries/places (not including bigger markets such as US/Japan or EU). Because the dealer told just try again next year and didn’t give clear info. I assume that’s why I said “MAYBE”. Do you know exactly how many went to US/japan and Europe? I did see someone said 100 for US 50 for Japan and the rest for other places but the number doesn’t seem right. I followed this very closely. Right now I only know 2 is coming to Australia. Hopefully more coming. If you know more can you post it here/there, keep us update👌. Thanks
5.000 -6.000 ? You were far below my friend. In the EU it is lika 7.5990 € after tax....
Thank you for the correction.
