[gothicXemoXvampire]

I'm sure this has been asked a lot but who's the creeper walking around on stage???

[docdisco81]

I'm Italian and I rally like typical japanese koto sound! :)

[lloydjgoldstein]

I am a solo double bassist in the US. This composition is fantastic, a wonderful use if the koto's sound and energy. The playing is also superb and virtuosic. It us my privilege to hear and see you.

いやあ

すごいですね。。。

琴にこういう表現ができるなんて知りませんでした。

本当にすごい。

すごいとしか言いようが無いです。

[radentai]

@ashiwaraouji ありがとうございます。

そうなんです、こういう表現も出来る楽器なんです琴は。

普通は、ギターのピックみたいな固いものを指に装着して弾くので­すが、

この曲は指の腹ではじくような奏法です。

ひたすら弾きつつけるので、マメが出来て破れて、やがて固くなる­。

そんな曲です。

Radentai, I am impressed with your music! Is there any way to get it in the United States?

I play a plucked string instrument ( harpsichord) and also treasure the recording of Michio Miyagi "Masterpieces of Koto" which I bought in Yamagata in 1964. Radental takes the Koto in a new direction, I would not have imagined. But I love Radentals approach also. Koto is a wonderful instrument and the Japanese are to be thanked for showing its versatility and beauty to the rest of the world.
