I heard it on piano. liked it. sounded a masterpiece. and now I've heard this. I'm beaming.

Also, anyone else notice that comment from schmoyoho? I figure, if your getting compliments from the people youre covering, you know you've got it made.

[Ashesketchum]

Seriously man, you are absolutely amazing, and I love your outro. <3

[MultiversePatroller1]

I cannot even count how many internets you win for this. It's unfathomable. May you rock on that shamisen for years to come, friend.

[heather4him]

"Nerd learns" to depreciate himself? Or do you use the label with pride? Very good stuff, and congrats on getting into a video with those Gregory peeps.

[sunnsea6]

D00d this...is...LEGIT MAN!!!! Amazing, and good job! You haven't offended me at all with your love for music, if anything, I respect it!!!!

[SSBBpage]

This is fucking insane.

[extrekkie13]

You sound like you haven't spoken English for a long time. Do you live in Japan? Your Japanese is really good. In fact it sounds more fluent than your English.

[GeorgetownSuds]

Not only am I in love with you, everyone I am in love wiht is in love is in love with you. And Nakra Bushi, You're such a poser. For the last time, give up on what's left of so many people and differ to the left! To the right! Oh, baby, do it right! Bring it, bring it back: it's time for a travel to the super heat attack. Dippin' to the pool, sucka's  goin' back to school, tellin' female's what it's like to be rocking in Schlapools....

[mikepenny01]

@GeorgetownSuds

Hey, do you still have handy those rhymes about Rachmaninoff stealin' your pasta? Bustin' a cap in *someone's* dome? Ah...memories...

[appreciatedhate]

thats pretty kick ass dude

[noirtriptyline]

So weird. Yet so awesome!

[FeeLtheHertZ]

This was F'ing AMAZING!

Also, how long did it take you to learn Japanese and understand and speak it relatively fluently?

[Nanashi123]

Depends how badly you want to learn it, how committed you are, and if you have the opportunity to immerse yourself

[Hikikomori013]

Sewage is a more important consideration in the grand scheme of things, but I'd rather have music in the living room.

Naka Bushi is pretty cool.

[MrFighter777]

Sensational dude!

[Fabiusbile12]

This is incredible, very nice.

[HighDefinitionEDM]

[PyonkIsPyon]

This is amazing. You win.

[randompark]

GREAT

[schmoyoho]

indeed, sewage may have been a greater leap forward for mankind than the moon landing(s)

[Kolon00000]

unless we find an easy way to put sweage/trash on the moon.

[0truth0]

Whoa you speak Japanese! :O and whoa that was cool. and like. Wow. |: Lol, cute debate.

[ShooTbigBoot]

dude you kick ass haha

[Hikikomori013]

2:15 looks familiar. I wonder if I've seen that movie

As for sewage; let me get my instrument and I'll show you real sewage.

Naka Bushi was good. Go for it!

[mikepenny01]

@Hikikomori013

Haha. That's Hara Kiri (Japanese title: Seppuku)!

[Hikikomori013]

Yes, thank you. With Tetsuya Nakadai. Great movie.

The last battle through the estate is incredible.

[GrandTeutonica]

4:47 Daft Punk reference lol

[clappy3000]

really really amazing, i wish i can play with that stuff.

[neonstrike]

Shamisen has such an awesome timbre, so different than the other fretless strings. The attack of your right hand just smacks those strings! The tremolo sounds really cool too! Thanks for entertaining me, and making me aware of this amazing instrument from the east!

[drummer48]

i would love to email you and talk about music and music theory with you i'm a pianist but i call my self a theorist before a musician. you are great and fun to watch

[tommyargh]

You should never not be making videos. 5 stars.

[theredspider93]

You just won the 'Best use of a double negative' award. +20 internets

[Fenizrael]

Or was it that he didn't never mean to do that in the first place?

[WhirlyBoy36]

Once again you kickass. Very well done, and another one I will be listening to when I'm having an ATTN session.

[stevo42]

very funny stuff!
