Since you mentioned Dai (Shakuhachi - the "flute" guy), let me touch on something... Shakuhachi has quite a narrow pitch range due to the nature of the instrument, so Dai use multiple Shakuhachi during a concert. But unlike traditional Japanese music, modern music (especially Wagakki Band songs with Yuko's crazy vocal range) has so wide gap between highest and lowest notes in one song. Did you notice that he sometimes stands on one leg and looks like doing figure-4? That's when he uses his leg to control the bottom hole on Shakuhachi to get higher pitch. That's his original technique he came up with.
The title of this song "Senbonzakura" means 1000 cherry blossoms. This song is a representative song of Wagakki Band, and it is also the song that they made the MV for the first time. As soon as the music video was uploaded to UA-cam, it attracted the attention of the world and became an opportunity for them to tour overseas. This music video has been played over 140 million times now. Also, they take great care of this song and always play it at their concerts, so there are many kinds of live footage of "Senbonzakura". WGB terminated its contract with Avex in 2019 and signed a global contract with Universal Music. Please note that if you use the MV owned by Avex other than the live video as it is, it will be blocked without fail.

Another interesting thing about Senbonzakura is that it was written originally by Kurousa-P, a vocaloid music producer. Vocaloid being a software program meant to duplicate the human singing voice, the most famous of which is probably Hatsune Miku who performed Senbonzakura originally. Here’s a performance of the song by Hatsune Miku, with a live band no less. ua-cam.com/video/RuAmK4mrpds/v-deo.html
I subscribe to the channels of Beni, Yuko, Wasabi, Asa, and Kiyoshi, but Kiyoshi has maybe five videos in all the years that channel has existed. If Machiya, Daisuke, and Kurona have their own channels, I don't know about it. Watching Beni's channel is where I learned that she took the "Ninagawa" part of her stage name from a cameraman she worked with years ago and that she started playing at four years old. Yuko has videos where she talks about singing this song in "the Wagakki Band style," how to harmonize in this song, etc. She also plays a lot of piano as her mother was a piano and possibly vocal teacher, too. Also, I agree that Machiya has the prettiest guitars. I forget each guitar's individual name, but I know the baritone guitars he uses are from Sago.

I'm Japanese and speak English. I love your reactions to the Wagakki Band and watched all of them. Please react to "Sun Wheel" in your next video. It's my most favorite and I'm sure you'll love it too!!! The lyrics are so so so encouraging in life and poetic as well.
The new album of Wagakki Band is going to be released in August. It's going to be an album of Vocaloid songs. I can't wait. Please keep up the reaction of Wagakuki Band. I also subscribe to Beni-chan's channel. Beni-chan is kawaii. 💖
You must react to Hakushu Kassai, everyone is on fire and you can hear some of Machiya's (guitarist) vocal. And yeah, no need to say anything about Beni, great and cute as always. 😄
Have you seen this song? Beni-chan's shamisen is the lead, so you can see a lot of Beni-chan. 吉原ラメント(Yoshiwara Lament) ua-cam.com/video/xup7x7r38Q0/v-deo.html
You missed an old video (now 7-8 years old) of Beni rocking on her shamisen, at home, in her pyjamas and obviously flauting her legs🤣 I don't know why she removed that video, maybe some copyright thing as it was a cover of a J-rock song. It was really good and a proof that Beni can not only play shamisen perfectly well, but can adapt a tune not written for it.
Agreed. The flute guy is freaking awesome
best flautist since Ian Anderson

All of Machiya's guitars after their debut are Sago, with the exception of one acoustic maybe.

@@AMetalheadsPerspective Thank you for answering my comment! Looking forward to it. Thanks again.

wow another one coool
Notice something strange? The audience was forced into silence due to covit19.
Have you noticed that several of Machiya's guitars are 7-string instead of 6-string. The one in this video is a 7-string.
For more Beni, check out "Tomodachi ninarouyo" and "Tonno monogatari: kyuu yon".
There is a playlist of Machiya introducing his models with Sago guitars, but search the name Shin Oumura (his other stage name).
You must react to Hakushu Kassai, everyone is on fire and you can hear some of Machiya's (guitarist) vocal. And yeah, no need to say anything about Beni, great and cute as always. 😄
観てくれてありがとう😃🎵
