Love hearing and watching Tachibana. So happy you are going to be in the Rose Parade again in America so I can see you perform. Amazing and so fun to watch. Love it.
Ni ska veta att jag alltid har älskat era framträdande. Är ett stort fann till er. Hoppas få se mer av er. Många hjärtliga hälsingar från mig och Sverige.
As in years past, FANTASTIC this year, but in a different way. Excellent musicianship and a new quirky style of choreography! Stylish uniforms! It's simply amazing what these young people can do. Congratulations!!!!
Great video of the 'new' band. Thank you. Their music seems to be more rounded and smoother, almost as if they lost lots of the 'zest'. It's sad the old faces are not there. Stay Safe. Stay Orange. 「新しい」バンドの素晴らしいビデオ。ありがとう。彼らの音楽はより丸みを帯び、滑らかになり、まるで多くの「熱意」を失ったかのようです。古い顔がそこにないのは悲しいです。おげんきで。オレンジのまま。
SEU AS AMOOO MINHA ETERNAS ADMIRAÇÃO NÃO SÓ PELA BANDA MAIS TAMBÉM O PAÍS QUE EU TENHO FASCINAÇÃO! SE EU TIVESSE ESCOLHA PRA CONHECER UM PAÍS ESSE SERIA O DE VOCÊS. ME EMOCIONO MUITO OLHA QUE EU NÃO TENHO IDADE PARA ISSO! ENFIM E MARAVILHOSO ENCANTADOR MAGICO ! PARABÉNS!
Glad one of the 3 little "Devils" is now a full actual member of the band !!----any news on the other two ? ------------------It will be an occasion for immense celebration when all three are one day members of this greatest band !
Uau, e essas mudanças em todos os setores, melhorou a performance e o som da Kyoto Tachibana, prazer juniores ola seniores e prazer DM deem o seu melhor 😂 10:02
Simply the best marching band in the world, such talented musicians, such precision in marching whilst playing their instruments and then you have the smiles, singing and waves. There is no better anywhere in the world. Great video, great performance from the Tachibana ❤ 🇬🇧❤️🇯🇵❤️
I've been following the Tachibana high school marching band for almost 9 years now, for me I feel like the 2014-2015 groups of students are the best! They sound very good and dance so joyfully it makes you want to dance when you see them. They smiled a lot too, it's like they really enjoyed dancing to the music! Over the past few years, I personally feel like the marching band focused more on the music and the sound over than the dancing, like they sound great but the dance is less neat compared to their seniors a few years before them. (This is so understandable, cause it is super hard to play nice music and jump and dance simultaneously!) But sometimes I just miss seeing the students dance and smile as much as their past senior students did.🥺
Their professor is more of a perfectionist in music. They have better quality instruments now, that's why they sound so good even outdoors and parades. They have different sets of instruments used for parades and on sit-in performances. The marching and dance may have been affected because I think the marching practice hours were reduced than they were previously. Since the pandemic, there were stories that the seniors who graduated were no longer allowed to teach their juniors, like it was before. If you noticed in past videos, you can see their seniors helping the band even if they have already graduated. Lastly, their previous marching coach (coach Y) has much influence in their choreography, music arrangement, and style, and I think has the better eye for *_showmanship_* . He after all came up with the Sing3x idea, because he does not want the band to be boring. After professor Tanaka and coach Y left, what you are seeing now is the new Tachibana. 🙃
@@naranja21 No wonder!! That's why I feel like it is less entertaining than in the past! Like they are less jumpy in their parades and performances, the transitions between songs and the dance moves are a bit more awkward... I really miss the energy that they give before.🥲 Do you know why Coach Y left? That is very sad news. Hopefully, the school lets the seniors come back and help support the new students! I feel like the seniors can really teach the spirit of Tachibana!❤
The real reason is a couple of years ago the senior class leaders decided a drastic change was necessary for them to realized their goal of winning the gold medal in the all-Japan marching contest. At that time they haven't won one or even advanced to the final round since 2015. Generally, the judges of the all-Japan contest are old-school and focus more on the overall music sound quality and marching precisions. They do not get impressed by dances with difficult choreography. Also, the dances that KT was doing unless everyone was absolutely perfect, mistakes can easily happen. One year in the all-Japan finals when the band was doing a difficult routine and running full speed in circles, someone tripped and caused a whole bunch of other members to fall down as well. Obviously they didn't win gold or even silver that year and ended up with only a bronze. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 As most everyone knows, the band is self-driven by the students and they come up with each year's songs list to play and choreography to dance to. The senior class leaders from two years ago happened to be all from the same junior high school so they were closed friends to begin with. When they made the major decision to do less difficult dances and concentrate more on the music, there were no pushbacks and oppositions. But you can't denied the end-results - two consecutive gold medals the past two years and I'm confident they will win a third this year. When Japanese teenagers join a school band they don't really do it just for the fun of it especially the KT members. Their ultimate goal is to win the gold medal and that's the main reason they sacrifice their personal life and practice 35 hours per week and 350 days per year in order to achieve perfection. I totally support the new KT and personally I find them just as entertaining as before. 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 BTW, someone noted that the school no longer allows past graduates to come back to help tutor the students and that's not true. Just a few months ago there were videos that showed the 2021 band director and another senior leader going back and did some training. 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
@@hiuwingchan The reason(s) why coach Y left were never really reported. But he was a freelance coach, so he coaches several schools, including the "purple devils". Their current coach is a senior(she was the drummer in 2015) of the band, but I guess she has her own way of coaching. I think they now prioritize winning marching/non-marching contests.
@@LL-ii1dc I think there's really no problem winning the gold in the AJMC. In fact, other schools have been winning gold by just repeating the same routine and music every year. Prof. Tanaka in an article written by him also said they wanted to revolutionize the marching contest, so they do the sing3x, but its not easy convincing the judges. Btw, they are also winning medals in non-marching contests, though they have not reached the nationals. 🙂
I'm so glad the Kyoto Tachibana High School band is back to wearing white socks. The white socks represent the petals of the Tachibana blossom, which is the school's namesake. The white socks are also a symbol of the band's unity and dedication. Tachibana is a type of Mandarin tree that has a lot of importance and status in Japanese society. The blossom is a symbol of purity, hope, and new beginnings. The pale orange of the main uniform matches the orange of the Tachibana fruit. The band is nicknamed, after all, the "Orange Devils" because of their trademark orange uniform. So, the uniform is closely linked to nature. The late Professor Hisashi Hiramatsu, who founded the band in 1961, wanted the band to express their femininity (before they became coed, unfortunately) through their uniforms. He didn't want them to look like a military-style marching band. So, he chose soft, vibrant colors that were inspired by the Tachibana blossom. I think the white socks are a great way to honor the school's history and traditions. They also look really sharp in the pale orange uniform.

橘吹奏楽部の皆さんは入部したら、個々にニックネームが付けられるらしいけど、その事で一員に成れた喜びを感じ、更にオレンジコスチュームに身を包んだ時に感動で涙が出るらしいです😂
この新一年生達も同様でしょう🙌
これから、更に全体のレベルとスキルアップして橘サウンドを高めて行くのでしょう🙌
本当に楽しみで応援致します🙌📣
謝謝前田先生拍攝這麼清晰的影片，可以一眼就認出來好幾位去年來台灣參加國慶日的同學。比如第一位旗手，主打小鼓的同學，以及最重要的指揮等等。
看了最近很多場活動表演影片，這些一年級新生們進步很多，期待越來越好，橘高校同學們加油，你們很棒。
來自台灣人的祝福。

Thank you for uploading such a high quality video of KTSHS band.
My favorite marching band on Earth!!

I can't put in to words how much I love this band 💗💗💗💗💗
Thanks Maeda. Video wonderfully done. Love this park , can get close-up shots. 👏

Love the Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band 🧡 They are the best 🍊🍊
才一個禮拜時間，音樂和動作都比上次進步不少，122期同學很有潛力👍
將近半年沒看到前田先生拍他們的新影片，影音品質和取景角度還是頂尖水準，太感謝了🙏
這次在博多的表演真的進步很多
揃って敬礼ー！の大技、嬉しそうな笑顔。いいとこ撮れてます
13:21 今年度も元気いっぱいの橘のサンバ曲パフォーマンス😍
サンバを踊りながらの演奏は凄すぎます❣️
京都橘高校吹奏楽部のマーチングパレード 2023年５月５日に福岡県の「海の中道」で 橘の新譜曲調すばらしい 新グループ 良い状態最高。
楽器の並びが新鮮ですね😍
それにしても2022年度橘の活動が3月の定期演奏会まであって、パレードもさくらパレードも2022年度版で熟し、そして1ヶ月も経たないうちにこの2023年度のパフォーマンスがクリエイトされている。凄いですね😍
永い間の夢を叶えたメンバーを尊敬します。次女ちゃんも末っ子ちゃんも「後に続け」。
毎回、前田様に感謝してます、
若い彼らの元気な演奏とパフォーマンスを見て元気を貰えて感動してます、先輩方に負けない演奏と演技をこれからも頑張って欲しいと応援してます❗
又、配信を楽しみに待ってます‼️。
前田さんの映像、音はとてもいいので大好きです。ありがとうございます。
隊列変更は、画期的な挑戦です。大賛成です。
全部のパートが聞こえて初めて合奏が成り立つのですから。
京都橘は隊列が長いので、目の前のパートの音しか聞こえないのが不満でした。
しかし、演奏者にとっては、全員がソロ演奏者のように演奏しなければならず、大変だと思います。
それでも全員がしっかりと演奏していました。
悪魔に不可能はないようです。
どんたくの帰り？ こちらで見る方が、生徒さんの表情もよく見えて、何倍も良い。
The audio always sounds good enough to put on an album, the drums are always right there...👍👍
感謝前田先生, 讓在台灣的我能夠繼續欣賞阿橘們的表演
前田先生專業級的拍攝，小橘子們專業級的表演全程保持天使般笑容。令人賞心悅目❤。吹奏中跳來跳去是有多困難的一件事，沒學過樂器的人是無法體會的。不會喘嗎？新的一年新的編排及樂器前後分配讓人為之一亮。
Love hearing and watching Tachibana. So happy you are going to be in the Rose Parade again in America so I can see you perform. Amazing and so fun to watch. Love it.
Very cute band ever😊😊
發現隊伍最前面的2位女孩似乎也換人了ㄝ~跟木花百花上次帶隊來台灣的;最前頭那2位女孩笑起來很甜呢!看了都融化鬱悶的心情了~😆😆😆

ストリートピアノ乃ハラミちゃんを見てピアノを始めた子供達か増えたように、京都橘のパフォーマンスを見て 吹奏楽やりたい！、マーチングバンドやりたい！京都橘に行きたい！って思う子供達がたくさん増えるといいですね！
色々な媒体で新入生部員が12人しか居ないとか、いや40人だとか騒がしいので色々な動画で確認してみました。昨日のドンタクパレードでは84人（８＋３７＋１１＋２８）がパレード行進をして12人がジャージを着て後ろからついていきました。合計96人です。翌日の海の中道でのパレードでは、先頭からDMまでで8人、パーカス前までで38人、パーカス10人、その後ろ26人＋カラーガードを抱えて付いてきているのが3人で合計85人。昨日と比べて各パート1-2名の増減はありますが、昨日居たジャージ組を加えればほぼ９６－９７人くらいですかね。119期定期演奏会の時1-3年生が２９，２９，２９人ですから、新3年、2年生が誰も辞めずに今いたら56人ですから、新1年生は40-41人と言うことになります。どうでも良いことかもしれませんが、それなりに人数がそろわないと....と思い目を凝らして数えていました。しかし、入部から2週間程度で25-26人が演奏に加わっていますので早い立ち上がりだなと頼もしくなりました。音ははっきり言って今は ”ごめんなさい”のレベルですかね。これからを大いに期待します。去年もブラスエクスポや夏のハウステンボスの頃はまだ音は良くなかったので、悲観するに及ばないと思います。応援しています、頑張って！
追加：DMのぷんちょさんバトンさばき上手ですね。中学時代もDMだったし、先代のクレタさんから極意を教えてもらったかな？クレタさんがぷんちょさんにバトンさばきを教えている動画が有りましたね。
凄い分析ですね👏他の動画で現在一年生は41人と誰かがコメントしてましたよ😊
公式インスタで41人と明記されてました。
新入生が多いので伸び代無限大という事で^_^
ホラっちゃ先輩（よゐこの音楽部）の時期がまだ良かったのではと思いますが、それぞれの代で特性ありますからね。
前田さん、いつもクオリティーの高い動画のUPありがとうございます。楽器パートの配置が変わって音響的にすごく個人的には好みです。音源が一箇所に集中しないでラウドネス効果があるように感じます。人間の聴覚特性まで考慮されてるのでしょうか？ 今後益々楽しみです。
每一位都好可愛好優秀 真是精采的演出 !!!
Great video of the 'new' band. Thank you. Their music seems to be more rounded and smoother, almost as if they lost lots of the 'zest'. It's sad the old faces are not there. Stay Safe. Stay Orange. 「新しい」バンドの素晴らしいビデオ。ありがとう。彼らの音楽はより丸みを帯び、滑らかになり、まるで多くの「熱意」を失ったかのようです。古い顔がそこにないのは悲しいです。おげんきで。オレンジのまま。

京都橘サウンドは特別な歌手が持つ歌声「1/ｆゆらぎ」みたいなものがあると感じます
そして楽しい楽曲なのに哀愁さえ伝わる感覚(今回のオー・シャンデリゼなど)

不思議な音色ですよね☺️橘より整然とした綺麗な音を出すバンドは居ると思いますが、橘の音色には癒されます☘️パレードで人を心地よくするって、何だろう？形容のしようが無いですね😀悪魔である所以かも😅
たぶんファンの方皆さんそう思っておられるじゃないでしょうか

He didn't want them to look like a military-style marching band. So, he chose soft, vibrant colors that were inspired by the Tachibana blossom.
I think the white socks are a great way to honor the school's history and traditions. They also look really sharp in the pale orange uniform.
