Holy crap man. I totally love japan, you nailed this song perfectly and gave an excellent feel to it, well done. ^^ It's so damn badass epic. :D This version is amazing and nice to listen to! Is it possible that you are going to do more pop song covers?
@johnotakum haha! I understand. I hated this song too until the other guys (in this vid) convinced me to try playing it on Shamisen. Now it has become somewhat of a trademrak of us for better or worse. We also do a cover of Paparazzi (filmed in an actual airplane cockpit) that one was fun too. Oh well, back to studying traditional Tsugaru Shamisen (for now anyway). Thanks for the comment!
my mom wouldn't let me get a shamisen, because she said I wouldn't be able to play "modern" music on it... but then I showed her this video and now I get one!
@kinomianimetree101 You can definately play pretty much whatever you want.. >.> But you have to understand the basics, like proper tuning settings, finger numbers, when to stick to what string...but it's a versatile instrument because it's mainly halfsteps. My brother figured out pretty much everything he ever learned on guitar after a day...but the correct way to hold it, not so much XDDD. Good luck!
Lovin' the Lady Gaga covers, guys. Listening to the original versions (which I've never heard) gives me a headache. I'll stick with listening to the shamisen arrangements. :-)
