Shamisen - Ringo Bushi

[trevor3443]

first comment in over a year?! amazing! I love this

[JaredChacon]

this guy is awesome (: i LOVE the sound of the Shamisen!

[AerialBlade]

I can't decide who's version I like better. I think the airy sounds in the Yoshida Bro's version gives an unfair advantage, but this version has a sort of, je ne sais quoi... a more folk-song feeling.

[cosmicarainia]

I like this tune!

[LJKNY40]

The Yoshida Brothers. They caught your attention. But now you have Kevin!

[Bancaer]

The Yoshida Bros are good players, but let's face it - their taste in Western rock is appalling. It's like bad muzak with shamisen played over the top of it.

[suimeikai]

Whew! I'm glad someone else finally agrees with me. The Yoshida brothers kick ass, but they need someone need someone with good taste to make them a mix tape or something...

[Kenzan3000]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[Chichiri520]

So what if he doesn't "move" or "play" like the Yoshida brothers. You want to know why? Because he is not the Yoshida Brothers. He does not need to act or be like the Yoshida brothers just to play the Shamisen.

You want to know why the Yoshida Brothers do not play the Shamisen like Kevin? Because the Yoshida Bros. ARE NOT Kevin.

Kevin plays the shamisen like he does, and Yoshida brothers play the shamisen like they themselves do.

[TTTTTHUNDER]

すてき！！！！！

[JLC981]

Know the guy personally. Didn't think I'd see him on youtube. Rock on Kevin...

[Kagura785]

No one can surpass the Yoshida brothers? I do not think so! Each to his/her own style. Kevin did a nice job playing with wind blowing in the hair, call it itazura no kaze (^_^)

[Rezic]

I dunno, I like the Yoshida Brothers' version of Ringo Bushi better. ^^;

[Kagura785]

I see ppl are criticizing that Kevin does not move like Yoshida brothers do? Pls, this song is not Kodo inside the sun remix or RISING, it is not an energetic piece, Ringo Bushi is more melancholy, so you don't jump around when playing more serious pieces compared to energetic ones.

Let's settle down kids.

[jayobee]

The big difference in his skills and the YSB is the body expression. Kevin got great skills but he seems so placid and not into it. Why makes it almost boring. Spend some time studying the body involvment of the YSB for instance, their body language speak more than their music expression.

goooooood!!!

[Limeysack]

Yes, this guy is great, but hate to tell you folks, he doesn't compare to Yoshida Brothers. Saw their concert in Hong Kong a few weeks ago. JAW DROPPING! Look them up...couple of their videos on youtube.

[mfuji01]

Talk sht about someone who isn't commercial.

[Limeysack]

just because Yoshida Brothers have gone commercial, that doesn't mean they've gone shit. You should check your own drawers before opening your mouth.

[mfuji01]

I didn't say ybs have gone shit. You should check your own drawers before opening your mouth.

[mfuji01]

& ahh duh!?? everyone knows who the yoshida brothers are.

[Limeysack]

ahhh duh???? I never said this guy was shit either. He's awesome actually, just ybs is better imo. Learn to read numbnuts~)

[mfuji01]

"he doesn't compare to Yoshida Brothers"now its "He's awesome actually"... lol Learn to juge numbnuts~)

[Limeysack]

He is an awesome player. But I still believe that he doesn't compare to Yoshida Brothers. Obviously that means that I think YBS plays on a much higher level. Is that clear enough for you to understand mfuji01? lol~)

[bebopgirlie22]

Wow! This guy is amazing! I want to pay the shamisen^_^

[MasterAlec]

god damn.  kmetz is a god on shamisen.
