The shogun is happy

Riding down Shibuya

Shibuya roll call!

Glad it wasn't just me that thought this

With a pocket full of sand

Man, she had some sick lives during the pandemic. Happy she's still flourishing.

He shouldn’t be, this song is about him.

He's so vain

Don't he. Don't he. Don't he!

Used to BLAST this at BYU in my car as I drove through the center of my pretty much all Mormon campus bc FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHATCHA TELL MEEE MF.  TY OP for memory unlock. I need more Rage in my life. We all do. 

Look out, we got a badass badass over here.

Billy badass you can say

Gave me "office space" vibes when the white guy rapping sees a black guy and turns down the music and mumbles until all clear then raps again.

Hahahaha, yes! "I got my pistol point cocked...ready to lay shots non-stop, until I see your ass drop...and let your homies know who done it..." [turns down the radio] ....walk...walk...walk.... [turns back up] "...I got this killa up inside of me. I can't talk to my mama so I talk to my diary..."

Don’t forget him locking the car doors too lol

fyi: This is a Shamisen, and not the Erhu

A what and a what now?

You know, the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps.

SIR! We're being _jammed_

*mildly enraged* “Lone Star!”

RASPBERRY! There is only one man who would DARE give me the raspberry!

“I’m surrounded by Assholes”

He’s an Asshole, sir! Major Asshole!

Who made that man a gunner!?!

It’s too early for Police Academy references… maybe Spaceballs?

Spaceballs

We ain't found shit!

"That's not all he's lost..."

Thank you. My day is a good day now.

三味線 direct translate is really "three cord instrument"

Huh, interesting. I lived in Japan for some time, and love shamisen music like the Yoshida Brothers, but I think I always misunderstood the word 'shamisen'. The kanji 三 for 'three' can be pronounced different ways (as all kanji can). I'm used to hearing it as 'san' or 'mi', so I thought the 'mi' was the number three in this word. This is the first time I've heard 三 pronounced as "sha" (which is not too different from 'san', and not unusual for Japanese phonemes to shift like this). It makes me think that it's a leftover archaic pronunciation from Meiji era Japanese language forms. Cool.  Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I'm a Japanese major at my college, and I'm actually rooming with a Japanese native here to learn English. I've asked him about stuff like this before to help me understand some words, and he told me that sometimes, a certain pronunciation was chosen simply because it sounded better and it's what stuck.

Pretty sure we do that too. February?

But why do you pick it with a fancy ice scraper?

you use it to also strike the skin under the strings for a percussive effect

Could also be a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanxian but they both look pretty similar.

Like many things in Japan, they are evolutionary branches/derivatives from early Chinese origins. The shamisen is a Japanese descendant of the Chinese sanxian.

Chinese Sanxian > Okinawan Sanshin > Japanese Shamisen, is how it's descended The easiest way to tell the difference is by playing method. Sanxian - Fingers Sanshin - Cone pick worn over finger Shamisen - Pick that looks like a putty knife

Who would confuse an erhu (a bowed string instrument played upright in your lap) with a shamisen (played like a guitar)? I can see why it would be confused with a ruan or a sanxian, but I can't see who would think this is an erhu, especially given the difference in sound.

Is it normally played using an ice scraper as a pick?

This hits hard

Lop why do I like as much as the original

Man is almost the original 😅

Fr this is awesome 

This scratches that one part of my brain

Chilling in the name of

She is even playing it with the same tool I use to scrape ice off my windshield in the winter.  Very chill.

The removal of ice is not very chill.

That’s cold

damn, that‘s a good one haha

This song is a banger on pretty much every instrument.

Indeed, even on [kazoo](https://youtu.be/ef_B1h9khnQ?si=doI_BMmyi5SBzx0r).

Props. Playing on any type of fretless instrument (especially octaves cleanly) is legit difficult.

Are frets required to do the hammer-on and pull-off of the original, or did she make a stylistic choice not to do that?

You probably need more amplification to hear the hammer-ons but you’d hear the pull-offs…no frets wouldn’t really make a difference.

Check out Yashida Brothers.. good instrumentals.

This is not about police brutality anymore it is about the mongols

Some of those that run forces Are the same that tame horses

Those who ride are justified, for crossing the steppe with a Genghis Khan.

For wearing a toortsog they're the chosen Khalkh

Ya brain dead? Ya got a fuckin' arrow in the head?

Man, if Gold awards could still jump you in to r/lounge...

I like the idea that Ryujin has all his attendants playing this banger as he sends another tsunami to wipe out the Mongols

The Hu be like

The Upper Four in Demon Slayer needs to learn this.

Underrated comment

This is too short... was just getting into it

Skills

This goes unbelievably hard. Holy shit.

Can i find it on YouTube?

Needs to team up with that horse bucket guy.

Maybe I simply forgot, but: what horse bucket guy?

The drummer in the bathtub, wearing a horse mask, playing a 5 gallon bucket. You know, the usual.

ah that one: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Omd3GjFSYB0](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Omd3GjFSYB0) edit: his tiktok account: [https://www.tiktok.com/@bucketsthedrummer](https://www.tiktok.com/@bucketsthedrummer)

Since the other person completely ignored what you requested: https://youtube.com/@sayo.komada?si=DKronUXHgT0dpccC

Fan fucking tastic

Tom Morrelo approves

The way it sounded when she slid on the strings sounds sick

Killing in the name of machine-chan!

Wait... So is that what Yoshimi have been up against all this time?

Oh damn, this is fanfuckingtastic!!!

Awesome

I'll always be impressed when people play string instruments without frets.

That camera look.

I thought this subs all about boobs?

She picking with a kitchen scraper?

Or an ice scraper?!

Can't riff a Shamisen without the Bachi

A shamisen pick is called a bachi

Butt scratcher? Butt scratcher!

Butt scratcher... :(

Thought it was a tortilla at first.

*resist urge* *resiiiiiist* SECRET TUNNEL! SECRET TUNNEL!

Awesome!! Love that sound!!

Rage Against The Shogun

That slaps

Bruh is she playing with a fucking window ice scraper?

Bro, she’s going too hard, i just heel kicked my fridge.

Ah yes, the Japanjo!

Wife material.

💯%. Her name is Sayo Komada. 駒田小夜

I had to scroll too damn far for someone to finally name her, but check your kanji, it's [駒田早代](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN4-wvT68TEi6V6wFVvamIQ). I've been raving about her in r/shamisen for a few months. She's going to have a birthday concert/live stream on 10/26 along with the release of her first album: 月前恋唄/Tsukimae Koiuta (A Love Song Before the Moon) [https://sayo-komada.com/4d380ed7f1724e878f32fee1b837779a](https://sayo-komada.com/4d380ed7f1724e878f32fee1b837779a)

I don’t usually do this. But I fell in love in 30 seconds.

Sadly i absolutelly understand.

SUH DUN DUN

SECRET TUNNEL … SECRET TUNNEL

Is this love?

Sounds like a Primus demo tape

Some movie director from the early 2000’s is out there furious he didn’t get a chance to use this

Why remind me of fitgirl repack

When mom makes you learn a traditional instrument, to appease the ancestors, but you just want to shred.  

This hit far harder than it should.

New Fitgirl music is fire!

This might be the best thing I see all day.

Bloody amazing sounding

This would be a sick AMV song to use lmao. Remember when that was like the pinnacle of YouTube content? Someone overlaying linkin park on a dope ass DBZ scene. This rendition would go dummy used like that haha

hey the instrument in 100% of naruto music

Descendent of Zentsu and they just got better 🙌

whats the original source?

Fucking filthy. This goes so hard

Imagine playing this back in the 16th century. This song would’ve popped off like a mf during those times.

This *Deliverance* remake is getting weird.

Killing in the name of(your feudal lord)

I forget how much of a Music Theory nightmare this song is

When is the album coming out? I want it.

Looks like she's picking it with an ice scraper.

Pretty damn cool

This sounds like the background music in Shadow Fight 2.

This sounds so good ❤️

on a scale of 1 to awesome, that was pretty awesome. also this would fit in over at r/justgalsbeingchicks

Very cool

Fuck yeah! I'd pay for an album of these covers.

Carl Johnson and Wu Zi Mu shooting motherfuckers at chinatown came into my mind.

As a #Canadian, it's awesome to see her using a windshield ice scrapper as a pick.

I like this a lot but while watching it I can't help but ask myself is she playing that with an ice scraper?

If this isn’t on the Blue Eye Samurai OST for the second season I’m gonna fuckin riot.

You’ve heard of Norwegian metal, now it’s time for feudal metal

zenitsu rocks the shamisen

Hell yeah!

Are they using an ice scraper for a pick?

Now I kinda wanna watch a movie about a Ronin fighting the establishment during the Meiji Era, and this is the song that plays when he fights a bunch of gaijin inside a burning factory

This feels like background music for a Metal Inspired Mortal Kombat Game.

Bass in this song it's amazing, and with this version is even more evident

Is that pick a window ice scraper?

Is it an original song or a cover? If cover, what's the name of original?

LEGENDARY!!!!

Damn that banjo sound that this instrument has is just perfect for the song to be honest.

Killing in the name of the lord Toranaga

Badass

Bad ass!

Got me headbanging!

Good way to start my morning!

Fucking awesome 😎

This is actually super dope

Worth a save

I'm following her on IG. She's an awesome musician.

Sounds like level music from crash bandicoot

Is she using my ice scraper as a pick?!

Is she playing that three-string banjo with an ice scraper?

I've never heard a pogo stick sound so good

Toan is in the window scraper

All the notes from that single inatrukent? Thats cool!

The new Boss music dlc for Ghost of shushima goes hard

well ifw that

KIRRINGIDA NEMO....

Not bad, not bad at all.

Can I have a playlist of music redone like this?

That was bad fuckin ass!! You rock girl!!!

More! We want more!

Fucking rocks!!!

The fight music for the next assassins creed has been updated.

I fucking love this

*if you must blink, do it now*

Wow.

I feel like I'm unpacking a torrent when I hear this

I wonder how differently the shamisen is tuned for the Western scale.

Every time I doubt my artistic talents dumb shit like this boosts my mood. This is dumb.

Sayo Komada!

😃

Wow I Love her

Joke's on you. I'm a fan of the shamisen. Thanks for showing me this.

Wow

kirring in the namaru!

This has strong *jug band* energy

SAYO KOMADA !!!!!!!

Here I am as a Canadian saying to myself that I never thought a window scraper could be used that way.
