Loving all the different cultures and music! That is what brings us all together....what a lovely feeling. Great reaction ladies! I loved the band choice. Hope the power was not out for too long. At least the two of you kept yourselves busy...lol! Hope you had a blessed Christmas. Looking forward to more reaction videos. 👍💖😁

This was fantastic! I had never heard of this band before. It's fun to be introduced to new musicians from around the world. Glad you got the power back!

O yes There Great I love Them 💕 🎸🎀🎸

I've been following them for a long time, and something told me that they would love this video, a big hug from Chile!🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

these two songs are my favorite

Espectacular chicas !! Como tocan!! Gracias por conocer bandas con ustedes las extrañe tienen la sonrisa más linda les mando un abrazo grande y feliz año nuevo desde buenos aires Argentina

FYI, the instruments used are: 4:40: Shamisen 7:02: Koto (horizontal harp) 7:05: Shakuhachi (flute) The way she sings in the second song is called "Shigin", a traditionnal way of reciting poetry.

I hope you ladies get a chance to see Wagakki Band some day - they put on a magical performance.

和楽器バンド ワールドツアーが 楽しみです！

Excellent music coming from Japan.Waggakki Band show a mesmerizing and hipnotic fusion that bless our senses

Always love the reaction to the beautiful Bene! Yuko (singer) was the catalyst for the forming of the band. A primary purpose in creating the band was to generate an interest in Japanese traditional musical instruments. They have toured the US and there are several excellent interviews on KZread.

Japan is killing it in the music biz right now. Between Wagakki Bang, Band Maid, and Lovebites, there's so many great songs to react to. Have fun with it.

If you ever want to cry because you are happy, this is the band that will help you.

At last I could see a very emotional and accurate reaction compared to previous videos of other users and nobody noticed both drummers and you did! 🤘🏻😊 I congratulate you girls.

Wonderfully talented people, very clever with huge vision and sense of style.

Hey ladies, once again you've turned me on to a band I didn't even know existed yesterday. I'm an old guy who's always happy to experience new and interesting music, and you've been a steady source for the interesting and the new. Have a Happy New Year; I'm so looking forward to seeing and hearing more from you in 2021 !

love them. they all are so talented and also so nice and charming people ... thank you girls and a happy joyful new year.

You're awesome! Great reaction to this awesome band! Subscribed and signing up for patreon! :)

Thank you for reaction! Love from Japan!

aye man, we all love japan ....

They were going to perform opening ceremony for the Olympics in Japan until Covid. I think they still are this summer.

I recently discovered this band, courtesy of a video they did with Amy Lee, visiting them. I totally recommend that. But since then, every song of theirs that I've heard has been just outstanding. Great job, ladies!

It doesn't matter whether you think Japanese bands are good or bad. They are definitely always something .. different from the rest of the world.

Beni plays a Tsugaru-style Futozao (Thick Neck Size) Shamisen. The sharp, flashy style of tsugaru was played in the streets by the bousama (blind musicians) who developed a more lively style. Blind musicians at the beginning of the 20th century, including Shirakawa Gunpachiro, Takahashi Chikuzan and sighted players like Kida Rinshoei developed a new style of play based on traditional folk songs ("min'yo"), but with a lotImprovisation and eye-catching finger work. This style - known as Tsugaru-Jamisen, after the native region in northern Honshu - is relatively popular today in Japan. The virtuoso tsugaru jamisen style is sometimes compared to bluegrass banjo. The classic pick is called Bachi.The koto is a Japanese zither and the national instrument of Japan.The bamboo flute is called a shakuhachi and the second drum kit is a wadeiko The singer's very broad vibrato is typical of Shigin, a traditional poem concert style.Suzuhana Yuko, the singer of the Wagakki Band, is a certified teacher for Shigin. The style of dance that Yuko performs is called Kenshibu ('Sword and Poetry Dance') This is a category of Japanese interpretive dances performed to traditional music with poetry. Kenbu refers to dances that are performed with the help of a sword. and Shibu dance with one or more hand fans called Sensu / Ogi (folding fans). .

The Shamisen player is awesome. She looks so composed. My favourite Japanese instrument btw

I'm so glad that Dana's Faith has opened my eyes to a brand new group (for me) which is totally cool, that I am going to try at the end of this comment to make them glad too! I did not realize you were doing international songs/groups on Mondays, though I approve whole heartedly as I have always felt music is an international language all its own. Your reactions are great and your personalities are wonderful. You fill the world with joy and I truly appreciate that! My gift to you today is to let you know about a little Canadian band called Blood Sweat and Tears (hey, Canada is international, eh?) and one of their songs called "You Make Me So Very Happy". It is a wonderful song and it sums up my feelings about the two of you and your channel perfectly! Give it a try one of these Mondays!! Cheers, from the Great White North!

Fantastic Japanese pronunciation. Well done. With that said, as someone that came of age in the 70's, I felt that no country rocked harder or better than the U.S.but now Japan is kicking ass. Wouldn't it be cool to see Waggaki, Band-Maid and Babymetal on the same bill? In Waggaki I hear Led Zep and Jethro Tull. Great selection Mia and Juliet-TWO thumbs up!!

Awesome reaction ladies. I look forward to all of your reactions. You beauties rock!!

absolutely amazing and wonderful song thanks for this reaction 💞

Love this band! The guitarist has a very Joe Satriani sound in this song. Your reactions are a treat.

Thanks for the vid, did not know the band but the song is totally awesome, gonna look for more !

I love the song, the band and your reaction. I feel like I was going back to a different century in Japan. Very cool! Juliet you now have a nice Japanese sandwich, and Mia, I hope your wrist is ok. Great choice to introduce us to this very interesting band, thank you!

Wagakki Band is the best band, in my opinion. The sheer love of their Kraft really comes through

When I watched that video the first time I was so mind blown I would not be able to say anything coherent for the first half minute. Total overload, out of RAM, that type of holy shit I can't believe. It sounds like total chaos near the end, but it's actually several melodies dancing around each other and the singing. I had to go out to the fresh air just to calm down :D

Beni is the second of four tradional instraments

And the lyrics: Flower bloom filling the butterfly branches To the sky that we sing Beyond the faraway clouds Cross the sea and cross the rainbow Like to reach you Thought to overflow the weir In the whereabouts of a dream, that will someday Just like being laughing I am going to spin it To the sky that we sing Beyond the faraway clouds Cross the sea and cross the rainbow Like to reach you Thought to overflow the weir In the whereabouts of a dream, that will someday Just like being laughing I am going to spin it

なんか嬉しいぞ！！

The woman is playing a shimisen. I built one last year from materials in my tiny room and I was playing it an hour ago. It took 99 days to build. I built shakuhachi, as well. The bit with the chick singing features a koto and the dude is playing a shakuhachi. God bless the Japanese.

Saludos Danas de Veracruz Mexico, excelentes sus reacciones, pasenla super.

This goes from pretty damn good to amazing when the shamisen comes in.

Going Back to JAPAN LOVE IT...HEY ITS ALMOST A NEW YEAR LADIES HAVE A GREAT ONE🌷👏👏🌷💥💥

the sound of guitar so clear.......good awenson

You’re finally reacting to my favourite band :) If you want to hear each instruments distinctly you should listen to Hakushu Kassai

I like the use of traditional with modern instruments mixed together.

I am a big fan of Wagakki Band, so watch a lot of reaction videos to see how people react to them. I really enjoyed your reaction video. You said you are big music fans. So I would like to recommend a few other Japanese bands for your to watch. Sekai No Owari, Gesu No Kiwami Otome and Clammbon are three bands that I think are excellent. There first two are rock and the third is a rock/jazz fusion. What I like about all three is that they have terrific piano players and the piano is a key instrument in their music. Check them out when you have a chance.

One of the drummers plays occidental drums, the othe one plays japanese drums. That's why there are two of them.

この焔が一番良い

the diagram on the guitar is a sakura blossom, one of the drummers is the traditional one

Loudness - Heavy chains, great song for a great Japanese band.

Thanks for the react Also highly recommend Synchronicity from Wagakki Band for a Jazz style music, and 砂漠の子守唄 (Sabaku no komoriuta) for a very unique style of music Wagakki Band are also very famous on great live performance, If you want to a review any of them, recommend to use live version, it is safer from copyright stuff

Talented band! Happy new year girls! Tygers of Pan Tang is a great band from the 80s you should check out Love Don t Stay and Running out of Time are excellent songs you should listen to.

偶然やと思うけどボーカル入った瞬間に｢SINGIN'｣って言ったのが｢詩吟｣に聞こえた笑

何言ってるか わからないけど、 和楽器バンドが海を越え 世界で評価受け入れられた証かな？

There a whole subgenre of metal called "folk metal", where people mix modern and traditional instruments. It's quite big in Northern Europe, specially, but it is found everywhere. Waggaki Band is sort of a Japanese folk rock band.

Never heard of them, but I like it. Edgy guitar rock. Good one girls. Thanks for turning me on!

Senbonzakura o ikusa. Gracias por los subtítulos en español.

Hi! i really enjoyed this reaction video and i want to recommend another legendary japanese band. Its "Ningen isu - Hearthless scat" I hope you enjoy, the lyrics are really good too, i bet you will positively surprised. Cheers from Spain.

Loved the Group and as always your reactions. Excellent choice Girls!! I was wondering.Are you planing any videos for New Years? I know you get many requests, but Have you considered doing a year end recap. A top 10 of your favorite videos of 2020? I Love all that you do I know 2021 will even better for you which will be for all of us. Happy New Years girls.⚘⚘🎉🎊💥

Yes, they should definitely do a year end recap, that would be interesting

Because you were so fascinated by the Machiya mask, it originally came from the Japanese Noe Theater. Here is the line-up of the band and what Wagakki means Wagakki refers to musical instruments that originated in Japan. "Wa" means Japanese style. "Gakki" means musical instruments. Yuko Suzuhana - singing Machiya - guitar Beni Ninigawa Tsugaru Shamisen Kiyoshi Ibukuro - koto Asa - bass Daisuke Kaminaga - Shakuhachi Wasabi - drums Kurona - Wadaiko

Im Impressed !

Yep, they've got a big group. There's the contemporary drums *and* traditional, electric guitars *and* a traditional equivalent (a shamizen, the "banjo played with a putty knife"; I understand the performer being a former singer who suffered a throat injury), and a flutist. I believe they've also got a traditional harp equivalent. The band started as a Vocaloid cover band, playing songs originally meant for the "singer in a box," which was meant to replace traditional singers and sing music supposedly impossible for a human vocalist. So, yeah... Their singer covers songs that she's not supposed to be able to sing.... 🤨

Senbonzakura please! well, every and each song is good tho

しかし右の女の子初見での音楽の解説能力凄いな。二人とも良いリアクション。

Happy International Monday Ladies!!!! Get to it yeeeaa!!!

Thanks for posting this Reaction. Later, I’d recommend Ranych from Indonesia 🎵🎶🙇🏻‍♀️🔍😉 in Japanese “Blinding Lights”. There are absolutely some great Musicians and Artistic Performers from Indonesia 🇮🇩 Weir Genius” and Alffy Rev are just a few. Enjoy 😉 your comments and relatable response to Wagakki. If you appreciate Rock or Metal Folk Music 🎼 I would recommend a Band from Mongolia 🇲🇳 called the Hu. Stay Safe and Positive. Happy 2021’.

Lovebites, "Swan Song" with Chopin interlude; Band Maid, pretty much anything they have done; Doll$Boxx, "Take My Chance" and Gacharic Spin, Delicious (the whole concert if you are game). Ladies, keep doing what you do.

This Ladys are empowering for weman.. I love to see my daughter see such great ladys playing and singing flawlessly and natural

Hi girls, thanks for the reaction! I wasn't expecting Wagakki Band at all! There are other great japanese bands if you want to do more on International Monday, I think you would like Unlucky Morpheus - Dignity of Spirit (Live), Versailles - MASQUERADE [Holy Grail Grand Final 2012] , BRIDEAR - Light In The Dark, Lovebites - Burden of time - Studio Live . Hope you see this and react to some of them!

Not heard of this band before but got into Babymetal and Band Maid thanks to reactions so will give this a try. Japanese prog, what's not to like ? Thanks girls !

Another great Japanese rock band to react to is Ningen Isu. They've been around for thirty years or so and were heavily influenced by early Black Sabbath and other British metal/rock bands of the time so I think you'll enjoy listening to them.

Thank you for the introduction, they are fantastic. Please do Hanoi Rocks "Malibu Beach Nightmare" they are from Finland the lead singer plays saxophone. It is a little more pink than what you usually feature. Also from something really different 2 Cellos mix of Beethoven's 5th with Whole Lotta Love. They are from Croatia and Slovenia.

Make a reaction for Wagakki band feat. Amy Lee-Bring me to life

Nice you found Wagakkiband. I just wonder where's your other friend? :)

10Q (thank you) for the content.

You two should definitely try some more Japanese bands! You would both definitely love Galneryus, Lie and a Chameleon, Band-Maid, Sheena Ringo, and Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai I would also make recommendations for Sambomaster, Casiopea, Yorushika, and Eve!

Should have used the dragon video STRONG FATE SABAKU NO KOMORIUTA SYNCHRONICITY a truly brilliant group!!!

Thank you for responding to Wagakki Band from Japan ✨🤗 (Although it's been 3 years 😅 The banjo-like instrument is an ancient instrument called "Tsugaru shamisen". It was originally a stringed instrument that was introduced from ancient Persia to China, and was introduced to Japan and became the current instrument with three strings. The woman playing is called Beni Ninagawa and started playing Tsugaru shamisen at the age of 7-8. In the past, she worked as a Tsugaru shamisen performer, but also worked as a model and actress. After that, while participating in many sessions as a Tsugaru shamisen player, she also posted solo "playback videos" of anime songs and vocaloid songs on video sites. Here is her latest video 😆 "【I tried playing it on the shamisen】Beni Ninagawa Plays Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" on KZread Watch it at kzread.info/dash/bejne/eH6HpM6hk67ep9I.htmlsi=v7Vk3VFB8NfCAWmK

Please react to X Japan! Cheers from Argentina girls!

Great reactions! You should check out the Japanese band name Scandal. I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs. I hope you do a react video for Scandal songs soon.

They give so much happiness.

Just visiting some of the stuff I, personally, have not a clue about and .. well! I had an inkling of what it *could* be like having heard a few Japanese bands before and was not disappointed. A horrible generalisation but, I have found that if the Japanese do something (be that music, alcohol) as a 'copy' of something Occidental they do not do it by halves and they do it damned well. The sight and sound of that musician attacking that stringed instrument (was it a shamisen?) like a dervish, and the sound was fantastic!
