  • It starts at 6:00,

    by 6:10 i'm pretty amazed. evenly spaced 16th note triplets on the right while playing increasingly demanding ideas on the left.

    6:35 she begins elaborate call and answer parts right to left.

    6:45 begins an "enseble part" with both hands.

    6:52 Now the ensemble parts are in harmony!

    WTF is there anything this woman CAN'T do??!!

    The whole thing seems so effortless, in fact she just seems to be enjoying it as much as the rest of us.

  • That bass player is amazing, Hiromi goes without saying...

  • @1wayne12345 That’s one of the best comments I’ve ever read on Youtube. Thanks for helping us see the magic!

  • @1337myles

    At first, I thought: "What the hell does that even mean?"

    Then I reached 8:30 and realised I just flipped shit.

  • @wesselbindt I mean it has its own unique personality. Cheers! ;)

  • @Carlx6

    LOL, quite right.

  • @wesselbindt To me her music is Hiromi-esque.

  • I LITERALLY flipped shit at 8:30.

    But don't skip there yet, it's much more powerful and satisfying in context.

  • Holy Crap! Right Hand, Left Hand, She like two geniuses in one!

    Just unbelievable.

    When people ask me what kind of music I like the best, I don't know how to describe it. THIS IS IT! i LOVE IT!

  • So...Fun...
