六段の調べ (Rokudan no Shirabe)

[tokyokaminari]

震災による年末まで楽器の演奏不可のところに住んでいるため、そ­ちらの依頼はしばらく受け取るのが難しいです。ご了承を頂ければ­と思います。

ちなみに。。Gが「too painful」というのが何でしょう？

[nipponichibanable]

Can u please upload a traditional professional video of rokudan no shirabe,hachidan no shirabe,midare,godan no shirabe and all danmono peice. I also want akikaze no kyouku and chidori no kyouku. Please if u do all peice in pitch of A as I want to.play along with it but the traditional g is to painful for me to play.

Sorry to bother you.

あなたわ 八段の調 と みだれ の ビデオ ウプロウヅ ください。

ありがとう 御座います

[mookaew]

Thousand Thanks!!

I just started practicing this one kept being scolded for making it toooooo slow. Yours version is pretty much similar to my sensei's though she gets really fast from around 3-4dan on

[musing85]

Thanks for this. I've loved this piece since I first heard it in my college days back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (;-9), but this was the first opportunity I've had to see anyone actually play the piece.

[mutsuzawa]

Ha Ha Ha! I mean big as compared to most Japanses people and women playing the koto. :-)

[mutsuzawa]

I live in Chiba. I just started learning rokudan no shirabe this week. I thought I was the only big American guy in all Japan learning to playing. Some Japanese people even laughed at me when i told them I play. Thanks for this video. It totally encouraged me.

[tokyokaminari]

I didn't realize I fell in the "big" american catagory. Thank you!... well, if you mean it in the sense of height. :oD

ビックリis the standard reaction for most. Eh, you get used to it though. 頑張れ！！

[shtonker8]

Mahalo from Hawaiʻi for your talent. Japanese culture here is rather old fashioned so Iʻve enjoyed your playing...very much.

[tokyokaminari]

Aloha and thank you for watching.

[ColdTearSP]

sad, i play the western harp...

[tokyokaminari]

.... the closest I have gotten to a western harp is playing a lyre. Not quite the same though. Why is it sad that you play the harp?  (kidding)

[mamutcsocsalo]

you started fast, don't you?o_O

by the way let me congratulate you:) you're awesome and you're speaking with an amazing spelling. (Y)

[tokyokaminari]

Oddly enough, my 先生 prefers to start off a bit faster than I. It is a matter of what branch of which school you learned it from, and once you get it- personal preference.... that is if your 先生 gives you permission! O_o;

Thank you for listening.

ciao

[sanjirosan]

you sir are Amazing!!

I have to hand it to you, you play better then some Japanese nationals I have heard. When I move back to Tokyo I hope our paths cross =^__^=

[tokyokaminari]

Thank you Sanjirosan-san.

Look for me out playing here and there (slightly drunk possibly) during the cherry blossoms each year.

cheers!

[betweenyouandsky]

You are speaking Japanese ! You are acting more Japanese than me ! I'm Japanese but I don''t even speak good Japanese. Your Koto playing is wonderful . I wish I could meet you in person someday.

[tokyokaminari]

Thank you.

If you happen to come over to Tokyo, we might just meet. It isn't that big of a city! :o)

cheers!

[fromagegm]

超うまい!!

調弦も押しも正確な音なうえ、余韻を変えてるところがすごい綺麗­です♪

私も高校時に部活で弾いていました。

懐かしくてうずうずします笑

ぜひもっとupしてください!!

[tokyokaminari]

お聴きになっていただきありがとうございました。

お琴と出会った切っ掛け、相当綺麗な音を聞いて、弾かなきゃと思­いました。いい楽器でしょうね！

そろそろ新しいのをアップします。

[deadredeyes]

This is a wonderful version of Rokudan. Great playing too!

[adelramirez]

I have to agree with everone on here. It's very good. Do you have an Albulm or anything? You should make one. You're talented. Subbing. :D

[tokyokaminari]

Thank you. No album yet; am working on my own compositions instead..

[sin555555]

You are good at playing a koto most in the world.

[yuka2828]

音楽でこの曲を習いました！

箏ってカッコイイですね！

これからも頑張ってくださいｄ（＾　＾）

[tokyokaminari]

どうも有難うございました。

お琴の音がやっはり素敵ですよね。六段はまだ弾かれますか？

そろそろ八段の動画を載せよう。。。？？

[opentry052311300303]

とても上手だなぁ

すごく努力してそう

[tokyokaminari]

有り難うございます。

更に努力をかけます。

宜しくお願ひ致します。

[chai9tea7latte]

めっちゃ上手！

聴き入ってしまいました（＾＾）

私も早く弾けるようになりたいです。

[tokyokaminari]

気に入れて頂き有り難う御座いました。

お琴がとても素晴らしい楽器だと思いますので、そちらも弾けるよ­うに頑張って下さい。宜しくお願ひ致します。

[654321654321]

i like your interpretation very much!!

Rokudan is great.

[tokyokaminari]

Thank you. I had learned a somewhat different version that was nice and like everyone else plays it... but I like this version's slight changes best.

[bassoleggero46]

great! I prefer your performance than japanese player.

I'm practicing ROKUDAN arranged for syamisen.

Do you live in Japan? I want to see your perfomance more.

[tokyokaminari]

Thank you. There is more than one way of playing Rokudan with regard to style, such as location of pushes, or hikiiro..  I am glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Yes, I do live in Japan; Tokyo area.

cheers!

[atyg1967]

Hope you get a recording contract--and make this song known to the US.

[tokyokaminari]

One step at a time...Taking over Japan is first on my list! ;o)

Thanks for the encouragement.

[skymyth94]

You play the koto SO beautifully, and your Japanese is very good too! Thanks for posting, 5/5 and fave. :]
