To experience live music like that must make for an unforgettable experience. And Japanese people are a wonderful audience, from what I've seen. None seemed to be in a hurry, and was there simply to celebrate the magic of music. That's just so convincing to me. It must be a bless to know that what you do is meaningful and needed. Greetings.
They don't blow you away with loud hoorays etc.. but they really listen with all of their attention. I've been hooked ever since the first time I played at a small restaurant in Japan and everyone stopped talking and eating once I started playing so they could listen to every note I played. I was blown away at the concentration spent on my music.
Yeah, I usually don't grasp the Japanese culture, I'm simply not accustomed to it and it feels alien to me, but I absolutely adore their emotional approach to music
I really miss that. Strolling down a strip mall, ... and then finding myself spellbound by a musician who's performing on less-than-average instruments with a damn-higher-than-average vibrant skill. After the musician finishes, it feels to me like waking up from a beautiful dream. I miss this more than I miss being able to go shopping itself. Thank you, Jacob, for bringing this moment of joy to me, to us. And your skill, as it becomes usual to us, your listeners, seems to be off the charts.
@@JacobKollerMusic Great performance !And some musicians say that quick repetition of notes are bad on an upright piano. I see none of these in your playing.How is that,Jacob ?

Beautiful arrangement, performance, piano, and the audience! It says a lot about the level of culture of the nation in general, when a musician playing on the street is treated with such attention and respect.
Just when ya think you've learned the piano... you get humbled. This is just a beautiful, playful arrangement, and I love that you share it without reservation with complete strangers that happen by. Thank you for showing me my next level!!
When "The Mad Arranger" plays, the world stands still for a few minutes... This is the magic of music - and you are the good wizard! Thank you for this amazing video. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹!
Brilliant! You looks cool Piano Man! "Well we’re all in the mood for a melody And you’ve got us feeling alright" The song brings me back in the days😊 Thank you Jacob san for lovely video
"The piano sounds like a carnival!" -- indeed! What power you have to make a group of strangers stand silently transfixed like that. Use that power wisely! xD
since I heard this song for the first time I have been wanting to run into piano man are playing this song oneday. I don't understand all of lyrics, but the melody gets me more imagination and the situation at the bar.
Wonderful arrangement! Wonderful performance! Thank you so much for making the sheet music available. This is going on my my wish list of songs to try to learn.
Next level arrangement, and performance Jacob. Added to my playlist which is rare for an outside performance, as obviously the audio isn't nearly as good as when recorded in your more formal indoor playing/recording settings, which is just kind of what it is, not something you can do much about). The piano sounded very good, ESPECIALLY for one that spends any time outdoors, nicely tuned. :-)

Japanese are the audience one could wish for, definitely.

It's a great place to play for sure.

Also barely any phones. No need to prove they were there. Simply enjoying the moment

These kind of simple pleasures are really meaningful. Maybe having them out of our lives for so long will make us appreciate these moments more.
Not to take anything away from a great pianist, it helps that the piano is in a superb state of tune.. even out of doors.
Thanks to Yamaha for keeping their pianos in tip top shape!

@@RealTotalPianoCare Thanks for your explicit and useful info.
They are all so respectful and quiet🥲
Yes. They love listening to music here in Japan.
One of those pleasant cultural differences.
Well don't forget that there are 5? people showing their cameras in the faces of the audience.
Beautiful arrangement, performance, piano, and the audience! It says a lot about the level of culture of the nation in general, when a musician playing on the street is treated with such attention and respect.
絶対楽譜買います、練習します！Jacobさん、日本に住んでくれて、いつもステキな演奏を届けてくれて、ありがとうございます！
日差しの中で流れるこの曲もいいですね
私も含め、この動画で素敵な気分になれる人も多いはず
ジェイコブさんありがとうー💕
ありがとうございます！
この曲を知ったのは高校生の時だったかな…自分で和訳してみたものの、この曲の哀愁漂う世界観が当時の私には理解できるべくもなく…でもメロディに惹かれたのでしょうね、今でも好きな曲です。懐かしい…ありがとうございました💐
穏やかな春の空に響く壮大なピアノでしたね。感動しました。
ありがとうございます！
ビリージョエルのピアノマン
良いですよね☺️
私以前、ビリージョエルのレコード持ってまして、良くこの曲聴いてました。懐かしいなと思って。
それをジェイコブさんがポロポロアレンジして弾くから最高です☺️

ビリージョエルさんの曲でピアノマンが一番大好きです🥰機会があればエルトンジョンさんの曲も御披露頂きたい🙏🏻

I love how knowing the song you can feel those voluntary offkey chords before getting back to normal. Constant tension/resolution process.
この生演奏に出会えた人が羨ましい❗️いつか私も遭遇したい😊
是非いつかコンサートにお越しください！
ジェイコブさんアレンジのピアノマン、お天気の良い外でたくさんのお客さんに聞いてもらえて良かったですね✨
いつかジェイコブさんのコンサートとストピに遭遇できますように。

"The piano sounds like a carnival!" -- indeed! What power you have to make a group of strangers stand silently transfixed like that. Use that power wisely! xD
Really nice! That piano looks beautiful!
Thanks a lot!
🎹ピアノや音楽を通して、人は時に、涙し、笑い、喜ぶ。静かに、耳を澄まし、演奏し、聞く人。すばらしい。
ジェイコブさんのピアノは最初の音が鳴った瞬間からひきこまれます✨
楽しげでオシャレでステキです💞
暖かそうな日でよかったですね☺️
ありがとうございます！
Great arrangement and playing! Bet it was fun playing this on a public piano with that crowd. I miss this!
It was really fun. Not being able to do it for so long made it even more special!
ジェイコブさんの弾くBilly Joel本当に大好きです‼️🤩他の曲も是非ともよろしくお願いいたします。
他の曲もやってみたいと思います！
This is no street performance but a real concert.
You are amazing everytime.

I really can't stop listening to you...Thanks from Italy

Billy Joel is just my generation lol 😆 Piano man , it’s you ! Jacob san 😆 I still know the lyrics of his song , do you like sing a song of his music?
Yes I like his music very much!
Billy Joel has always been a major draw in Japan for decades.
Great job by this pianist.
Thank you Joey!
Too good
Thanks Bunty!
この演奏を聴き、あのコロナ過を思い出したら、涙が出てきた・・・
あの賑やかだった街がゴーストタウンになり、一体世界はどうなるんだと。
まだまだ世界平和には遠い世の中だけど、ひと時の素敵な時間をありがとう＾＾

Great performance！！！！！
I really enjoyed it.
Arranging is so much nice.
I got some idea from your playing!
Thanks a lot!
