I think this would sound better if played bit slower.

[faeydra]

The technique is exquisite, the timing perfect, the melody vibrant and the player's own charm just adds another dimension. A delight for both senses, visual and hearing.

[ashiwaraouji]

宮城道雄さんの曲はあんまり好きじゃなかったのに考えが変わりそ­う

弾いている人の感情が篭っているからか、音が生き生きしています

これまでお稽古で弾いたりＣＤで聞いたりしたのは何かかたっくる­しかったけど

[topvidzs]

her fast fingers are funny

[xiyuan57]

新松戸にいた頃あなたのお母さんから琴の手ほどきを受けました。­当時あなたは高校生？ぐらいでしたかな？　もうすっかり技術を極められたようですね。　「手事」はとても難曲　第一章で参ったです。

[orangenipper]

御見事！　スタイルから演奏のテクニークまでスンバラシイ！　ところで次のアメリカン･ツアーの詳細を教えて頂けないでしょう­か。　必ず合衆国の中西部（ミシガン・イリノイ・インディアナ州）には­来て下さいね。

[js1qxj]

@orangenipper ２０１２年4月10～16日まで、ぐるーぷ「かさね」として、シ­カゴ公演予定です♪樹本♪

[fullmetalchemist34]

Great! Thanks for getting videos like this onto Youtube. Both the composer and the player are great... completely different world of music in comparison to western.

[TheJosh1111111111111]

This is the best thing I have heard tonight , thank you.

[trasonsoca]

Sensacional música. Debería ser más accesible para la población en general. Salvaría muchas vidas.

[fullmetalchemist34]

@trasonsoca

Si que tienes razon!:)

[ophelia1574]

That was perfection. Thank you so much for sharing this. I thought it was beautifully played. Looking forward to seeing more performances.

Best regards,

-Ophelia

[pavXX]

Wow! Ms. Kimoto is incredible.. I really like her playing style. It would be nice to have a CD/DVD available.

[roberttiso]

Absolutely wonderful performance, and also the audio is top quality !!!

Most enjoyed.

[123mako]

This woman shreds so hard

[killrtech99]

@123mako Agreed. Total shredination! Utterly awesome and intense!

[TauAlkione]

I love this instrument, its sound. So simple and so sophisticated at the same time.

[uchicha666]

Damn this is great !!!

[Pestinha92]

I can't find the original music anywhere :(

[BLinDaTbESt]

I am blown away. Koto music is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life. I applaud Kaori. Phenomenal job!

[HijioriDollKokeshi]

anyone know what koto tuning this is in? Hariujoshi, Kumoijoshi Etc?

[Edside0]

Great performance, wonderful composition.

[rolando0629]

琴をやってみたくなってしまった～！

とってもすてきです!!!!

お気に入りに追加させてもらいます！

[XxXhazebabezXxX]

that was amazin

[trolextrolex]

@XxXhazebabezXxX and it's still amazing ^.^

[carlosaparrac]

Excellent performance!!!

[drummerboyahs123]

That was incredible. I can't wait to compose something for koto. What a cool instrument!

[flyfangirl]

awesome!!

[ColdTearSP]

does anyone know a song that is similar to this one on the koto?

[titanrodick]

Michio Miyagi composed this and it is loosely based on the faster sections of several well-known classics such as Rokudan and Midare (both written by Yatsuhashi Kengyo). If you like this, you will love the faster sections of Midare.

[nara593]

すばらしい！

[RedDwarfRules]

i wish i could do that, but there is no such thing as a koto in england... :(

[MarkThompson01]

She's getting down with her bad self! 5 stars from Germany.

[lpmar176]

@MarkThompson01

Haha....lol, well said!!

[MaMiMoMu09]

This is so exotic

I like it very much

[nivsha]

I come back to view this and listen to this performance by this incredibly powerful musician almost every day, and some times a few times a day ! BRAVO !!

[milwgac]

I have a recording of Miyagi Michio playing his composition Tegoto and its tempo and articulation are very similar to this interpretation. However, the composer's attack is more precise and the dynamics are more pronounced.

[nivsha]

You can't really compare a recording on an album to a live performance, there are nuances and important dynamics which will ultimately be lost in this setting as shown. I would love to get the album you are talking about though, please advise ?

[investorman321]

Wow she is jamming out! She plays koto like a champ!

[DeCario0]

Woow...amazing ^ ^

[GirlMakesSomeNoise]

for me, an inspirational piece of music. WOW.

[AznCereal]

this is great !

[mrBeatbrother]

woow these scales and chords

[nivsha]

Thank goodness to the koto music world, there are a heck of a lot more exciting things coming out of this world than any of the other long zither worlds. Its not violent, its intensity that few "performers" can really emote. Violent is guns shooting human beings. Intense passion pouring out sounds like this.

[lpmar176]

Well said!! I highly agree with you. There are a lot of Koto pieces out there like this one and for some reason they haven't gotten a lot of exposure. This is what the Koto world was like around the 1930's and 40's. This is "Tegoto" by Michio miyagi (1947) and it's phenomenal. This is the same guy who modified the Koto to what we now call the "juishichigen" or the 17-stringed base koto to give the koto a wider range of tanalities. He is considered the father of modern Koto music.

[guinnebert]

This piece of music is actually fascinating. Both "violent and beautiful"as 21FingerGod put it. As a Japan-lover I just cant' wait for another post!

[21FingerGod]

That was absolutely sublime. I am a guzheng player, So I couldn't dare attempt such a violent, but beautiful, piece. I envy you greatly, Miss! This makes me miss my days with the koto in Elementary school. I just wish they were'nt so expensive D:

[lpmar176]

Wow! This is most interesting, I never thought of this piece as violent but I guess that's an interesting way of looking at it. Would I use this for background music for a car chase perhaps... or even for a horse rider galloping at high speed....

[21FingerGod]

lol, I did not mean Violent in the sense of actual Violence. I mean it to mean played harshly, and strong.

The Song is Violently, as opposed to a peacefully, which would be delicate plucking and a moderate tempo.

It's wonderful :D

[lpmar176]

I did definitely understand it as played rough and vibrantly but still... happy listening...

[titanrodick]

That was really marvelous. Hope you will post more of your performances.

[1kkoh]

Thanks.
