As an American bluegrass fiddler who was partially raised in Japan, this gives me all sorts of multidirectional homesickness and happiness. I love that they call themselves Redbull too, what kind of partiers are these guys?!
Wow! Yes! Your heart would clearly be stretched in many different directions! I'm a bluegrasser from Carolina,... but dearly cherish my time in Japan, too!
Well that's because a lot of Japanese music relies just as heavy on strings as bluegrass does. I think it's a natural progression in their musical tastes to appreciate all string band music.
We can see the japanese are giving this their heart and soul. The fans of bluegrass aren't dumb we just know when someone outside our culture is doing right by our culture. It took people a while to appreciate Elvis Presley's rendition of Blue Moon of Kentucky and in some levels a lot of OG bluegrass purists went to their graves hating Elvis' version.
@@christianboston7259I didn’t know a music style could be a culture. Y’all are mighty disrespectful to others if that’s so. But also no it’s not, words have clear meanings and usage in society. Bluegrass can be an element of a culture-but I think told you why it’s not here, and in fact it’s considered a subgenre of country music. Kind of why it’s so similar to instrument heavy country. What culture is born in the US in the 1940s? That’s not a thing. And you’re not all the same across the Appalachian region-not totally white either and we have our own culture in other groups-to try making it that because as you acknowledge there’s different styles by state, and much of it has Irish and Scottish roots too(remember the Irish Catholics yall used to damn near crucify as immigrants trying to survive a potato famine started by the British who came here and well you know...ain’t that a son of a gun) and frankly that’s why so many forms of bluegrass can exist now. I mean the mandolin is a classical instrument from Europe..what’s that have to do with you because you listen to a different strumming style? But it’s in the ballads and folk songs infused and borrowed from and you don’t get to claim that when I know how hostile y’all still are towards Catholics. You always like what people make but not them...almost like appropriation is a thing white people do a lot, anyway bluegrass should be space for great collaboration so treat it that way and don’t think you own it. You don’t get to always have everyone and everything. I don’t care who left you poor with their decisions years ago. I’m talking on a spiritual level. Getting out of that mentality and understanding no one insulted you if they have something to preserve after a harsh ongoing reality informed by years of exploitation. And Elvis was a thief himself who married a child so... hound dog, big mama Thornton did get fifty bucks for at which is more than the nothing many Black artists got but he got a hit record and start of his career and she died in poverty without recognition from the industry until it was too late. But she gave a lot. So that’s why we get hesitant among other reasons like it’s not acceptable to want to make us a costume or use our heritage to be edgy which artists are prone to do before dumping our aesthetic for their mainstream(white) clean image. But you just wanting to play gods of music over everyone is not the same. So no need to frame it as such
They value hobbies. They don’t become a perfectionist at everything but they value putting good effort into whatever they decide to dedicate time to. You make them sound so robotic and it’s not flattering. Obviously many aren’t like this btw, and you know what, a key tip is don’t create cultural definitions for people. Easy
Fox On The Run She walks through the corn leading down to the river Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun She took all the love that a poor boy could give her And left me to die like a fox on the run Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, on the run Everybody knows, the reason for the fall When woman tempted man down in paradise’s hall This woman tempted me, and took me for a ride Like the lonely fox, I need a place to hide We’ll pour a glass of wine, to fortify our soul We’ll talk about the world and friends we used to know I see a string of girls, who’ll put me on the floor The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
My youngest has been after me to get a TikTok. I haven't yet, I figured us geezers already took over Facebook and MySpace. But I can appreciate it. Who knows, maybe the traffic from TikTok will give these fine musicians a chance to get the stardom they deserve .
We need to track down this band and get them back together for a some gigs here in the States. Hell, at the minimum at least making some more videos. I could listen to them all day.
From Boston what do I know about Bluegrass other than I like it. I consider Bluegrass American culture that actually got created in the United States. I’m so happy to see these people enjoying themselves and making this lovely music.
I watched this about 15 times before I noticed the Rocky Top sign, lol, this is exactly the embodiment of why music and the internet are beautiful things. Imagine showing this to the first Portugese and Dutch to ever reach Japan and the old, old school bluegrass players.
Their English isnt the best, but I think that gives them their own unique sound. This is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen in my 32 years. I love bluegrass, but i become more in love with it when i see people with no Appalachian roots playing it. It basically says that our music is so profound it can even reach people on a south Pacific island on the other side of the world.
I remember visiting a random bluegrass live band bar in Yokohama with a friend, and had such an amazing time there. I wanted to tip the band for how great of a show they put, but they wouldn't allow me to. There were like 30-40 customers and we all had a great time.
Only thing wrong with this.....it could have been about another two minutes longer. lol LOVE IT!! Their passion for a it is contagious. ....and I'm an old Tennessee boy, for whatever that's worth. ...and now a fan of these folks. Can't wait to see anything else they do.
Such an excellent song, a person can’t even listen to it without having fun. I can’t play an instrument but know it must be a blast to play it with friends.
Simply beautiful! Thank you Folks! I’m in my 60’s and still consider Bluegrass the purest form of music. Invented in America but loved by the World. You Kids do a great job!
Very entertaining group of young Bluegrass musicians that sing and play in a very cheerful upbeat way. Quite a unique group for that part of the world.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! YOU ARE AWSOME! LOVE YOUR SONGS AND YOUR TALENT AND MUSIC. PLEASE DONT STOP ! KEEP PLAYING AND COME TO THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS IN EAST TENNESSEE AND NORTH CAROLINA TO PERFORM. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
I love bluegrass I have to thank mother for introducing me to bluegrass gospel and through it to the mountain music no matter who plays it these guys are great
From Kentucky and been studying Japanese for a few months now. today I remembered a bluegrass broadcast form a few years ago featuring a Japanese band and this has given me a new connection to japan I had forgot about. We may seem quite different but ever rural Ky and modern japan can have an appreciation for each others cultural.
As a genuine Swampbilly (from the swamps of Florida and the foothills of Appalachia), who grew up on Bluegrass I absolutely love this!
as a dude who had this music playing at every family reunion in saskatewan, i looove it

As a Kentuckian banjo player, this makes my heart smile. Excellently done.
As a hillbilly it brings tears to my eyes that parts of our culture is happily shared with world.
As a human, I like this.
@@timesthree5757 More than you know sir.. Greetings from Turkiye
Also a KY native. I’m from Lexington where you from?
As a Michigander banjo player whos mommaw and poppaw moved up here from Ashland back in the 50s to work for Ford, me too my friend. ❤
so sad I am just now discovering this I had no idea the Japanese had an affinity for Bluegrass! absolutely beautiful.
There is a You Tube Channel entitled Take's Bluegrass Channel. That has a lot of Bluegrass including U S.
Well that's because a lot of Japanese music relies just as heavy on strings as bluegrass does. I think it's a natural progression in their musical tastes to appreciate all string band music.
wait until you find out about rocakilliy in japan,
50's cars the whole thing, japan and america has a significant cultural exchange....escpecially for the non main stream
we dont have to tell you about anime in america... hahahaa northa america in general, mexico loooves goku
brought to you by the culture of people being absolute mad perfectionists at everything they touch
undeniably true, I love Japan for that reason
Would have made Bill Monroe happy, then.

I've never seen a bluegrass band work a single mic as good as this band. Excellent version. One of my favorites.
The lady playing the banjo is just too precious⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She's so adorable! Such a rock star
I agree❤
She gets 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@@TheeDavidDee who is she??
@@fidodidotriplex i have no clue but she's adorable
The two people who gave this a thumbs down, apparently don't know what traditional bluegrass is, because this is IT. Great job.
As Tennessean that grew up, "pickin' and a grinnin"", to bluegrass on the front porch of my home , this makes me so happy.
Very well done!
I’m also a Tennessean who grew up a bluegrass fan. Loved this as well. It’s amazing to see a culture so different appreciate the songs of our culture.
that was some nice Banjo Pickin' there Young Lady
Fox On The Run
She walks through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, like a fox, on the run
Everybody knows, the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise’s hall
This woman tempted me, and took me for a ride
Like the lonely fox, I need a place to hide
We’ll pour a glass of wine, to fortify our soul
We’ll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a string of girls, who’ll put me on the floor
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
the smiles on their face says it all
If listening to this doesn't make you smile, than nothing Will!...Great Job
Saw you on Tiktok and had to come to UA-cam to get more! WELL DONE!! WE WANT MORE!!! 👏👏👏
Same here! It's incredible!😊
This video is 8 years old.
My youngest has been after me to get a TikTok. I haven't yet, I figured us geezers already took over Facebook and MySpace. But I can appreciate it. Who knows, maybe the traffic from TikTok will give these fine musicians a chance to get the stardom they deserve .
Growing up with bluegrass, this just warms my heart.
Mighty fine picken and a stringen!
It’s amazing how blue grass has effected so many different cultures
I've been playing banjo for 45 years and have always loved this Tom T. Hall song. These people do an excellent job with great verve!
You Young Folks are Great! I have lived many years in the Ozark mountains of Missouri listening to Bluegrass music, And I play Banjo also.
大好きなブルーグラス、バンジョー買って練習した日々ももう昔。やっぱり優しい音楽。忘れられない、もう一度挑戦しようかな・・・有難うこのチャンネル

Rising sun of Kentucky keep on shining
Underrated
DAMMMMNNNNNNNNNN!! AWESOME!!
Absolutely AMAZING coming from the heart of the Shenandoah Valley…. Pickin is pickin an pick on
1:19 that was a GREAT fiddle solo!
God, that last part where she adds that high harmony gives me chills
It's just the cherry on top....very nice!
Yep
このバンドすごく楽しそうにノリノリで見てて楽しいです♪
５人で声乗せるとこも綺麗で鳥肌立ちました！
I saw this on Fleccas Talks.
8 years late to the party but better late than never.
It came to you at the right time
Just subscribed looking for more videos, and absolutely love the happiness on their faces. Great job.
Why I can't believe I've got Bluegrass family in Japan! Awesome!!
They love bluegrass in JPN and they are great at it!!!
How nice to not see anyone bitching about cultural appropriation in this comment section
I love when other countries appreciate other cultures. As a southerner, this is awesome.
I can’t comprehend how difficult it must be to sing in another language. Great work guys.
That dude's voice was solid and had a little twang! Nailed it!
The music is like a cup of coffee in the morning
As a native Tennessean, you do ROCKY TOP proud! I'd love to hear more from you!
So glad I stumbled on to this. Very good young folks! Music truly is universal.
Absolutely one of the best renditions of this I'v ever seen!!
Wv girl here!! I showed all my family and they love them!
I have family in Athens,... near Princeton.😉

Good harmony stacking.
Greetings from your Bluegrass friends in the USA.
Awesome band, great job!
Harmony is Awsome and so is the instrumentals 👍
Wow! These youngsters are great!👍

I hope someday to see live bluegrass in japan
Just a boy from Kentucky here and I LOVE YOU GUYS!! So insanely talented and genuine. Thank you for the appreciation of our culture 🙌🏻
Awesome to see young people of different backgrounds loving blue grass.
And that girl can JAM!
Such an excellent song, a person can’t even listen to it without having fun. I can’t play an instrument but know it must be a blast to play it with friends.
And it has a killer chord rotation that makes it a pure JOY to play!!!

This is my favorite rendition of this song
I love bluegrass I have to thank mother for introducing me to bluegrass gospel and through it to the mountain music no matter who plays it these guys are great
アメリカ〜って感じ。なんのグループなのかなー？楽しそう。バンジョーなんてなかなか弾かないと思うけど、上手だしハモもいいねー🎉
this is known as bluegrass music from the southern united states :)
Yall need to come to nashville and play some bluegrass!
The collective musical heritage of North America is in good hands, even if it isnt ours.
This brings tears to my eyes I grew up listening to bluegrass and this sounds just like what I used to hear on papas radio
Watched a program about Japanese Country and Bluegrass music today on PBS. Called "Far Western".
From Kentucky and been studying Japanese for a few months now. today I remembered a bluegrass broadcast form a few years ago featuring a Japanese band and this has given me a new connection to japan I had forgot about. We may seem quite different but ever rural Ky and modern japan can have an appreciation for each others cultural.
Wow I hope you guys still make music it sounds fantastic and if you don’t make music any more consider starting again!
Saw this on fb shorts, had to check em out. This is great!
They are great, and I like how obviously happy they are. They are beaming with joy. I'll never hear this song the same way again, FOX ON THE LUN
Hope to make it to rocky top in Tokyo someday. Love this.
The Saki bottom boys
Nailed it!
I only regret that I have but one like to give.
Splendid performance
Bluegrass as a second language, in five part harmony no less. These boys (and girl) rock.
A true bluegrass band! A group of family and friends making life better with a little music.
Excellent
One microphone, as nature intended.
And they know how to work it perfectly.
Greetings from East Tennessee!
The vibes are IMMACULATE
your guys's singing is so pretty
Excellent rendition in Bb...happy to find this....kudos!
Absolutely awesome !! I hope they are still at it...I'd love to see them next time I'm in Japan...
