若い高橋竹山ですね　とにかくすごい　とても感動しました

[AtomikDyke]

soooo as long as you know where to hit the notes you can just go nuts on this thing aye.... kudos to all those who memorized tunes played by their grandpa's heroes...

[Zombywoof91]

Does he have an album?

[despisel]

I like a lot how this guy plays. So young and so much talent.

冬の津軽平野に吹き荒れる地吹雪が見えた！

[msrienne3d]

his fingers look like spider legs

[SugarLungs]

Look at the guys in the back. Throughout the video you can see them eventually accept that nothing they play will ever be that good.

[JayGOS117]

@SugarLungs Rofl, i get that feeling, too. so f@#k 'em xD

[briefboyz]

sublime, exquisite, a tour de force

[arena2101]

Mother of God this dude is dripping with talent...

[kurariho]

小山内薫さん最高です！かっこよすぎる！



[NguyenTran1130]

I first saw him play Shamisen when I'm about 15 ( I don't remember exactly), I saw him playing in NHK channel and I was impressed so much that I looked for him everywhere in the internet

And finally today I found him and can listen to his shamisen playing again. I'm so glad !!!!

[LouGypsyBlue]

You are really great, your passion... i watched this video 5 times in a row, and it just don't bores me at all.

I hope you keep going that way, because you have something, anyone can tell. Good luck!

[TheSiberiantamir]

Oh my God! Asian folk music is the best!!! So proud of being Asian!

[papymoto54]

Live Japan!

[divagayatri]

小山内薫さんの三味線が、世界で一番好きです。

[antokwjapan]

wonderful!!!!!!

[oONaginiOo]

Amazing how well he plays. So much talent!

Even more amazing is how he manages to simultaneously look so stoic and passionate while performing. I would gladly have his babies. ;-)

[TheRogueMonk]

@oONaginiOo probably the one is not seperate from the other

For some reason I am thinking of the scene in Back to the Future, is there a picture of his family on the shamisen?

[DerDoenerInMir]

[iatsd]

Holycrap he's good - technically excellent and fun to listen to. It would suck so much to be the next person after him in competition! :)

Ghods, I miss Japan & Iwate! :(

[ekashicstream]

Terrific!!!!where can I get his album??

[fishinful]

This Boy Has Shoyu running through his veins

[kadhine]

sugoi!

[irondave123]

I wonder if Dave Mustain will see this video and choose him to be the future guitarist for Megadeth...

[kisarito]

ヨーロッパで大道芸でデビューしたら話題になるだろうなぁ。

If he plays outside as a street performer, he would be famous. What do you think?

[ekashicstream]

what is his name and what is this song?!

did you make any album?

[grooble]

Incredible! This guy's a virtuoso! It's the same guy in that "shamisen-a japanese three-stringed instrument" video (300k views) on your sidebar so check that one out as well. You'd hate to be the guy going next!

[xXxTheSorrowxXx]

Wow this sounds great! I really like this artist...but whats his full name? Could someone help me please?  5 Stars + Favourite, thanks for uploading.

[VirtualDeath]

Osanai, Karou. He lives in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, and is regarded as top class in traditional Tsugaru Shamisen in the region.

[xXxTheSorrowxXx]

Ah Thank You :) His music is really great.

[mustrearm]

I like his play than Yoshida bros'.

[akinasukizakura]

同じく。

吉田兄弟より上手いと思うよ。

[lifenavigator]

wow! Bravo!

[cicerone]

これは格好良いな

[morrink]

Give me a Katana Sword! Give me wind in my hair! This is what pops up in my mind hearing this!

[aznmou]

lol i agree with you 100%

[turboMATRIX03]

shamisen sound is lower than a sanshin

they dont usually use animal skin today

just like they dont for a banjo

violin strings were made from cat gut

[TedHughes1986]

I was just wondering if a shamisen sounds the same as a sanshin? Thanks

[JamalWings]

True Passion.

[chandraalvin]

shamisen communicates to the gods

[Blindsman]

I really want one so bad, except you can't find any stores that sells the Shamisen in the US... =(

[Blindsman]

I really want one so bad, except you can't find any stores that sells the Shamisen in the US... =(

[maximwong22]

Ebay one?

[angrymallard]

Probably because PETA would shit over anyone that sold dog skin instruments? ;P

[shamisendemon]

I have played a Shamisen duet with Kaoru Osanai recently!! It was a jam session which occured in two different places on earth.
