@JimmyGobright I have no idea what "brandewashing" is, but it does sound rather "fryetenning." hahaha - Sorry, couldn't resist.

[thisisthomasjordan]

[Ryuuji14]

何か。 これは1つの事だけを意味できる......

デジタル対実質の器械か。

しかし私はこれは堅いことを私が意味するガレージバンドを使用し­ている

But I'm Using Garage Band i mean this would be hard.

[juliandiez]

Impresionante, fantástico!

[bobshoefoot]

:O you should get an award for your love of your art, cause it is mega super awesome sauce :D

[cooldude5401]

Wtf

[unterluup]

You should check out Chikuzan and learn traditiona first before playing all tis weird stuff. I dont mind when the shamisen be used in artistic differnt way, but teh meaning change and tradition gets lost.

[schroeder666]

wtf? how rude and presumptuous to assume he hasn't already done that. not to mention that he has any obligation to play traditional music.

[marcoman5699]

thay should auto tune this clip

[meshumekha]

That sounds like it would be sort of icky.

[Bentonias]

Trippy...

[ThejohnGould]

your my hero

[VirtualDeath]

I love Mike Penny, oh man.

[healcannon]

That's a nice shirt. =p Also, very nice work in identifying vocal pitch and pattern and translating it into shamisen music.

[biwaud]

Wow! You are completely stunning and

crazy in a very good way!

[forcedhire1]

What the hell man? Your amazing, but crazy, haha!

[Tazwegian]

There is a fine line between genius and insanity, Mike seems to have a foot on both sides of the line. I love it.
