Playing Koto in New Year

[RealPhenom1]

I love your accent :)

[Jonking720]

I love the sound of the instrument!!! I wonder how much a koto would cost :///

and nice playing ^^

英語は非常に良いですね～

I hope I can learn japanese very good :DDD!

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@Jonking720 ありがとうございます。As for the price of koto...it varies. But the cheapest one may be around 50,000yen and expensive one can be over 2 million yen, I guess. :p

日本語がんばってください ^ ^

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@battousai46 Sounds nice, a bottle of sake and koto...^ ^ thanks!

[NascaFelipe]

Very pleasant tune! I like the way you turn the page without stopping to play the music!

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@NascaFelipe Thank you<3 ^ ^

[DreamControl]

wonderful! Well done Kirin :o) And, thankyou for sharing with us.

[legacyabq]

Wow this is great!!

[EmoSupernova]

That looks complicated to play! You're very good ^_^

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@EmoSupernova Ohh, it's not that complicated. ^ ^;; But Thank you!

[freethoughtmusic]

Very nice playing.

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@freethoughtmusic Thank you ^ ^

[yumyumsesame]

That bit at 4:18 was cool! Thank you for playing the koto for us. :) I've tried playing on a practice koto and it was fun so I'd like to try on a real one.

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@yumyumsesame Oh that's called Saararin (as it sounds like that) and it requires some practice and I think I did it OK. ^ ^;; Thank you for your comment. ^ ^

Happy New Year Kirin!!Your koto playing was Subarashi!

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@HsxFree Arigatou! ^ ^

[despisel]

Amazing, really amazing. Your Kimono is beautiful, and the Koto music pretty relaxing. Also it's nice to know you still use Japanese notation tablatures instead occidental one. Happy new year 2012!!!! :D

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@despisel Thank you. ^_^ I don't even know how to read the occidental one. ^ ^;;;;

Happy New Year!!! ^___^

[despisel]

@TokyoKawaiiEtc There is something that I just saw: it's somehow strange or shocking to see a Japanese woman wearing kimono, reading Japanese scores and playing the Koto, while a computer and some other high-tech things lie in the background!!!

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@despisel Haha, only the koto, the musical note, and the kimono are from old days and all the other things there are up-to-date. ^ ^

[rainbowjesse18]

OMG!!! I love your kimono sooo much!! Another beautiful job! You play so well! :D Now I wanna learn how to play the koto!! Lol It looks really hard to play, but it's just got a lovely sound!! <3

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@rainbowjesse18 Thank you. ^ ^ I learned it at 5 from my mother. I feel piano is much more difficult to play. lol

[seasailorsummer]

This is wonderful<3



[0anistar0]

I love your kimono!!! nice song Kirin!!

[snicklefritz1825]

You are very good, I love koto music! Could you tell me your favorite koto artist? I would like to buy their music.

[TokyoKawaiiEtc]

@snicklefritz1825 Thank you. But I only know classic ones, nevertheless nowadays we have some modern koto music. I started to learn how to play koto at 5 till 13 or 14, then I quit it completely till only recently. So I can play it but my knowledge is sort of limited. Sorry! >_<

[pokemin]

well done kirin! :)

[danabakkk]
