Hiroe Morikawa - Like A Bird

[teknotoast]

lol I initially clicked this expecting a different rendition of "I'm Like A Bird" by Nelly Furtado, but this is infinitely better than what I expected!

Great video, really well done! Take a look at the one I sent you when you have some time! Its another rendition of "Like a Bird" with Indian violin also.

[temartem]

@StringTempleRecords - Thank you for the version with violin - very different, more gentle sound!

[taffypetrull]

this artist took my ears on a journey

to a place that i thought

i could never get to!

[Peekingduck]

Outstanding!

Is there a CD that I can by by this artist ?

[temartem]

I have one CD of Hiroe Morikawa which I brought from Japan. So probably it's possible to find another copy somewhere on web...

[Peekingduck]

Thanks.

I'll start looking around,

[ValExperimenter]

There are two CD's by 森川 浩恵 (hiroe morikawa) that I could find:

1 brown cover with Romaji Koto and Hiroe Morikawa on the cover, label victor entertainment. date 2002, May be out of print but still available at least on amazon japan

The 8th track is 鳥のように (like a bird)

The 2nd album has a black cover with tulips on it and Romaji hougaru new wave also on the victor entertainment label date 2003

Like a bird is not in it's track listings

Hope that helps

Great video.  The images are marvelous, as is the representation of the koto playing (I am a koto student). And, of course, Ms. Morikawa's playing is fantastic. Thanks for putting this up, please don't ever delete it, as I watch it all the time.

[scarydead]

i think your hachi is out of tune.

not sure :).

and also in 1:04, when you have to tap the string ichi and ni, i think your doing it wrong because it doesnt sound right to me but keep up the good work!!!! ;)

[nivsha]

she has too much power and much ego, not enough passion and not enough soul.  its not a rock and roll show.

[ffmatheus]

@nivsha Shut the fuck up, its beautiful, listen to the intensity of the music not for the aesthetics of the visual....

[nivsha]

@ffmatheus You have a lot of rage and no soul. If you have any idea about his piece of music and if you had any idea of how this piece has been performed -- you would understand my constructive criticism. I'm not a passive listener, I like to voice my thoughts so don't ask me to SHUT THE F UP.

[Komazhin]

i love this also like to add that focus on Morikawa would been best, but the filming of outside with snow makes it soo beautyful i cant say it in words

[eddieys04]

wait...where's the 2nd half of this piece???

[eddieys04]

nvm, you said "fragment" i guess i should read the description first. anyway, the 2nd half is where the real craziness happens, would love to have seen her play it.

[nenericotero]

jodido eh !

[titanrodick]

Incredible. She plays beautifully.

[clonaciano]

She plays wonderfull BUT! I rather see how she plays not the landscapes. BETTER FOCUS ON HER PLEASE.

[mustrearm]

excellent!

[pavlovich74]

That was wonderful, I was totally entranced.

[cockycicero]

Absolutely fantastic...

[hehw]

omg wasn't the bridge set in the first string? she really put up a stunt there ehhh! hahahaha nice nice!!!!

[yingguoqinyou]

It was set, but she needed to change it.

[evermichel]

magnifique !!!!!!!!!

[lpmar176]
