anyone know's what that top named? i mean shirt. 

[miskamvopop]

@w8ing4adeath japanese just fucked all americans

[BLAK0KROSS]

@w8ing4adeath Top? Shirt? Those guys, the Yoshida brothers, are wearing a kimono along with a hakama; the red part. Hakama on top of kimono, so the kimono is the white. Not sure what else you implied with that question.

[hylianprincess7]

[trema12345]

isn't this a song that is in an anime?

[FoggyFishburne]

This is such insane concentrated awesomeness that I can barely watch the video without imploding!! But it's to amazing to look away, so it seems like I'm fucked.

[DerUberGun]

[Oddaudiblemadness]

A great mixture of styles, blended so well

[shelbygirl96s]

@PenaltyKillah Ehhh.. when I thought of this, I did not think of anything with the word "Canada" I thought "Holy Epikksause. :DDD

[ZettaiSoushi]

this should be on guitar hero or rock band xD

[Rozilla]

172 people have no soul.

[cosmosofinfinity]

@Rozilla 1 person has no originality.

[Rozilla]

@cosmosofinfinity One person is rich coming from someone with the name 'cosmosofinfinity'. Zing.

[cosmosofinfinity]

@Rozilla Wrong, try again.

[cosmosofinfinity]

@Rozilla Oh, and don't you worry; I recognize the faggoty-ness of that name. I still like it though.

[0jrhindo]

@Rozilla Zing? what is that? white boy slang? (jk sitcom reference)

[Ronwixziv]

HOLY CRUD! THESE DUDES FRIGGIN ROCK!!!

[666tuvieja666]

[JakenJragin]

@ssjpiro What?

[wolfboy57]

No matter what you do, there will always be two people out there who are cooler than you.

[Nippon1289]

el shamisen es la ley



[maikelYeah]

uhuauahauhauh muito style :D

[Egemyo]

They pass from one mood to another perfectly!

[xrisanthemum]

their hands are FLYING

[SameStars]

These guys are completely amazing! Love it! :)

[Nikotynamid]

*ecstasy*

[Krenk999]

So Much Win .... *tears*

[Kinlywarlock]

I would love to see Jeff Loomis shred on a Shamisen.But these Yoshida guys are cool too :D

[Krautattack0311]

1:37-2:10 gave me the chills, nothing gives me the chills.

[chinoto1]

@Krautattack0311 I get that when I watch some shows, like when I watched Green Lantern and he just got his powers.

[Krautattack0311]

@chinoto1 sometimes I get chills when I think about how awesome I am.

[chinoto1]

@Krautattack0311 Then the conversation went stupid...

[ArkanSake]

anyone else notice that its almost the macgiver theme song?

[killingspeerx]

hahaha funny video XD

[monnyja]

It Just three string but so amazing ++

Japanese people so genius.

[tommybui]

@monnyja just specify the yoshida brotheres xD

[grafficzone]

@monnyja Vietnamese has one string :)) thing called Dan Bau 

[despisel]

@monnyja Erhu instrument has only two strings and it's Chinese. Does it means Chinese people are clever than Japanese? ^_^

[Saexism]

@monnyja shamisens alone are annoying, as you see here they have accompaniment of other instruments and apparently sound effects, this one is cool, but they have tracks that are only shamisen performed and get me really annoyed

[leftysergeant]

That just utterly blew my mind.

[crazycappie]

I have a shamisen rock band. Your argument is invalid. 

[stellaatje]

WOW AMAAAZING!!

[GuzhenggAi]

i LOVE the intro with my entire heart <333 

[technodude100]

dude..i just came



[emsway7]

does anyone know any more bands/groups or people that have music like this??

[Kimymela]

L♥ve this! Arigato.

[yourigabbino]

I wonder if they can do smoke on the water with that?

[YodaDogXD]

I was hoping they'd pull the neck off the body of the samisen and then a sword by under it and fight. :O

[JakenJragin]

Crikey!!!

[mega17]

The top rated comment doesn't make much sense out of context...

[pintosoha]

I want to go to japan SO BAD!!!!!

[carmene626]

i love it!! *.*

[haloseeker244]

:D AWESOME and ANCIENT XD

[tattivalenti90]

they are a great example to japanese ppl nowadays. now ppl are too busy focusing on the west that they forget about their culture. i know this cos i'm half jap and i've been living in japan for 5 years. japanese culture is about treasuring everyone around us, including plants and animals. but now, ppl try to be cool and they're like "i don't care about you, wipe your own ass." they forgot how to apologize or take responsibility for their actions. it's really a shame. 慈悲深い日本人がいた時代が戻ってくる事を願う。

[AnnatarYoung]

It's like Korpiklaani but Japanese! <3

[AnnatarYoung]

Japanese Folk Metal huh?

[2011Velociraptor]

CRIKEY AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!

[sohaibnk]

im from pakistan as well, believe it or not but we and the japanese have quite an amazing history together and we will continue to have so...LONG LIVE JAPAN AND LONG LIVE PAKISTAN

[yelawolfthegame]

LOL

[SunshineAsylum]

@noobchum Actually the "warrior spirit" of Japan isn't about violence, it's about honor and tradition. Japan has some of the lowest crime rates and the Japanese people really are pretty peaceful.

[pRuEaHoLiCz]

As you know... its a rare latent... not every generation has this godly banjo players... admitted... they are AWESOME

[matoro1989]

These guys need to rock down with Maximum the Hormone.

[ngushmiguelajabara]

[Geistmeister6]

idk about you but the last time i went to Japan they were total dicks to me and my friends, my buddy who was translating for us said they were calling us "obnoxious Americans"

[Loetke]

@Geistmeister6 Maybe you guys were being obnoxious.

[Geistmeister6]

@Loetke no, they just dont appreciate the yelling, Japanese people are a quiet bunch

[SoraTenshi]

169 people cannot take the sound of pure awesome win. =D

[veggievegetarian]

[koflan]
