アレンジしすぎで私は好きじゃない

[lljohnballzll]

i did like the song but it was a bit faster than the orignal and that might have taken the feeling the song usally was to people.. she did well

[raymondgroothuis]

I clicked the Like-button!

For those who didn't like it, please let us see that you can do it better :-p

[TearKlaine]

ピアノと服と髪が綺麗な黒で統一されてて良いな

[potapyo]

録音が悪いな＾＾;

[smorriskc]

Great performance! Thanks for sharing~ I'm a music teacher, and in this particular version, it seems that the hands didn't match up...as if the sub-division of the right-hand was a bit faster than the left hand. It feels really rushed with it comes to the syncopated rhythms in the middle...but don't worry! I also struggled with this song a bit, but it was still a great performance.

[cool2bj]

For those who said she did bad, you guys can kiss my butt. I don't see you guys doing any better OR anything near as good as this. I say she did FANTASTIC!

[fanfulladalodi79]

Nice paly and nice hair!

[ahiru110921]

まぁまぁなんじゃん

[dashidamimura]

美耶子？

[stardust520]

一般般！！

[nec0murav0]

very nice~(*^_^*)

[TriangleNsky]

i wonder why everyone needs to critisize everything just be happy she even played for us and posted on youtube! but yeah she does look like a robot from behind but hey so do all violin players so watever all that matter is she played extravagantly! bravo

[sweetapple122]

The ending part sounded bad .... :(

[blufflop]

bad... no feeling at all, just playing it.

[Soraplushie]

@blufflop Not true, she actually altered the piece in some places. This was her intepretation of the piece. Quite good

[KevinVang1000]

She was okay. I give her a 7/10 score if I was a professor of a university.

[jeffthrone]

Same speed with Joe,the recording device problem :D which make it sound faster

[JenniferAugustine]

yeah she needs more feeling, but she played it nicely

[j4k3g4l3]

its far too robotic i think, not enough feeling and emphasis, its well enough played sure but it just really lacks that jazz that Hisaishi gives to all his pieces. This is too wooden and follows too closely to the sheet music, probably due to a visual learner, as opposed to an audial one.

[seokkyu7]

I actually disagree..

Listen to the MP3 version of this song...

[JenniferAugustine]

thank you!

[CatrionaElizabethMay]

she needs to put more feeling into it, but I cant play all of this song myself yet, so I cant realy say much :D

all the notes are well played though. :P

[nikoboy11555]

Kailin彈的輕快又熟練 我很喜歡! :D

[June0129hyde]

スタッカートが良い具合^^★

[kakashiismee]

A bit too fast.

[klarissa1985]

no the it is not too fast, the song is supposed to play like that, but she is maybe too exited...

[kakashiismee]

I know what the song should Sound like, she's playing to fast,

[klarissa1985]

then i think you need to compare with the master himself...see his video and then this here. she is playing hectic and with no feeling but the speed is fine.

[lilaphrodite05]

lol.. I though she was playing too fast as well, but you're right, the speed is the same as Joe's =D

[harukiu]

今おんなじ曲弾いてます。

とても上手ですね！

[MatthewJohnIgnacio]

Five Stars!

[nietnit]

i was stunning..........

it was so nice

[MiNiKoReAn]

I LOVE JOE HISAICHI

Lol

Joe hisaishi > Mozart xDDD

[Xavoir86]

haha...joe hisaishi>mozart..LOL....joe is the best composer ever...

[kazukiyo1121]

めっちゃうめえｗ

[DisturberOfThePeace]

i wish i could play as well as she does!!!!!!!!!

[swimbert]

Kailin彈的會讓人覺得心都快飛起來了,別有味道

[theproduceguy]

Really enjoy her playing. does Kailin have a channel on youtube?

[montecchyo]

Nice interpretation! You play so good ^^', and i like so much this song. Congratulations.

[akzzzzi]

I need the sheet music 4 that song ;)

Do ya no wer i culd get it?

xox

[HanlinSG]

I have two versions of Summer in my channel, please go and watch it . I only have like 5 subscribers and I'm so desperate that someone could just watch my videos.

[OoKOTONEoO]

んーなかなかお上手ですｗ

[corcoprhat]

wow...good..great...but kinda fast...ahhahehheaaa...i liked it..but it was kinda fast..as if u couldn't really hear the emotion, feel of the song..cause it was fast..but it was great though.

[demon1371]

i agree totally with

80JC08 ... i guess for this piece.... u haf to feel the piece and not rush through it... feel the emotions of each movement of the piece... study it well before performing it... wonderful playing but i suggest for the parts without the pedal u do not hit the piano too hard tho... it sounds too forced.... anyways... Great playing!!

[junggi784]

Loved how you played the melody in the end. bravo

[calciumparlor]

終止をはっきり弾けるようになればすばらしいものになりますね＾­＾綺麗なかたですし、がんばってください。

[macbookhl]

i can play better than you

[shiontan1989]

もう少し速さを遅くすると完璧です。

[bacaho]

great!

[OminousCrunch]

great!!!

keep at it! :D

[IpiuGaggiDiSorso]

lovely played and you're beautiful!

great song..

[MusicAddiiction]

this song is beautiful, my friend jennifer played it at our school talent show and she won 2nd place !

[xXd6y8j4Xx]

@strangeml

shut up! everyone makes mistakes. She might have been nervous. That is a natural feeling for all musicians.

[strangetml]

isn't it too much lol

[xXd6y8j4Xx]

@strangetml

so what... at least she tried...

Its better than not going on that stage and perfoming..

[strangetml]

lol

guys dont get me wrong im not being mean to her we just say it peacefully ok i know thats good job though

[80JC08]

yah..agreed.i mean its good she's playing pieces that suit her style and ability but like hun,you needa release the pedal more~its a light piece;don't hit the piano-flow with it^^

i guess except joe performing this piece himself this is the 2nd best i've heard so far on youtube! most are simply crap(no offence,but really?!)I study music so try to give others comments that help, else how do they improve?

yes,we all make mistakes but WHY is everyone criticising each other?wheres listening???

[sabarda]

Strangetml, do it better if u can. everyone can miss. there can´t be any perfect.

[strangetml]

it doesn't sound like mistake by nervous lol

[aaroncheung123456789]

Up your jerk hole!!!

[Judblak]

what's the name of this piece!!?????

thanks

[BergmansApostel]

read the info? Joe Hisaishi made this..It's called Summer. It's the theme in the movie Kikujiro's summer.

[LastSong]

In response ot judblak:

uh it's either Winter, Spring or Autumn definitely not Summer ;D lmao.

[trumdatpiano]

summer

[AngryLuv15]

i think they rushed it purposely. if you watch all their vids, you'll see that they shorten the long pieces and rush the slow pieces. its not a bad thing though because it differentiates from the original long slow pieces that many people on youtube play again. the faster version of the orig. pieces keep the watcher entertained.

[JRIbaraki]

Lovely...

[mishaco]

missed a key

[HmongHero91]

well played! 5 out of 5

[sskset]

yes ,a little faster

[haruko9889]

Beautiful 5-5

[famousemily]

very good apart from the mystakes!

[alekk]

i m in love

[compulsoryregistratn]

this is still one of my favorite youtube videos. thank you :D

[cottagerose]

Bravo! Surely the most GRACEFUL playing of "Summer" on YouTube! Watching this video helped me learn to play the piece better (so thanks for posting it!). Everyone I know loves this music and it makes a great recital piece too. So, well worth learning.

P/s: Anyone interested can buy the piano book ("Joe Hisaishi Encore") from Amazon's Japan website.

[gunnerysthartman]

Nice but too fast i think ...

[huishan87]

i think joe plays better than you

[jzhou691]

i second that. no one can beat joe, no affense

[th3gtr]

geez that's a nice thing to say. :(

[dappaman]

WOW you played it just as good as Joe... can you send me the sheet music plzzz??

[pandachu]

I have listened to this many times,and each time, I love it more than the last. Wonderful!

[hajimecreate]

[Nitrolenni]

very nice!! I must have the sheets too. Please, could you send they to me?

[Astat1klullabye]

Beautiful! .. can u send the sheet music?

[setpi]

I saw the movie where this soundtrack was featured. A funny and heartwarming movie!

[afrosmaximus]

Excellent song, excellent performance. Hisaishi absolutely excels in these types of piano pieces; this is one of his best.

[Ssssaaaaddddaaaa]

There is no doubt, the best piano song Ive ever heard!!!

[toolov]

[Deathinvegas]

[Mango1314]
