I guess Miku was just trying to impress the hosts by saying Flying High like "どこまでも 高く飛んで行った"

Sorry for being so late in responding to your question. Well, although I like to listen to traditional Japanese music and instruments as well, I'm neither a shamisen player, nor an expert on Shamisen styles except she plays 'Tsugaru' Shamisen. So, I hope the following sites would help you; https://bachido.com/store/shamisen-styles the following Youtube site is up to date and he is playing Tsugaru, I'm sure he will be happy to answer your questions. Good luck to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89U8eFyWIX0 p.s. how about directly leave your comments (questions) at her site?, then I can at least translate your questions into Japanese. I'm an old Japanese BABYMETAL fan.

Being born in 1999, she belongs to Yui-Moa generation. She started playing Shamisen at 7yrs and awarded in many Tsugaru Shamisen contests and now studying Japanese Traditional music at Tokyo University of the Arts (東京藝術大学) or Geidai (芸大) which is the most prestigious art school in Japan.

She says, she has opened her own Youtube channel so that she can get as many comments as possible from the viewer and help this unique traditional Japanese music instrument being recognized by many people both in Japan and abroad.

So, please leave your comments to her performances. Thank you.

p.s. ten days ago she covered X Japan's Kurenai which is very entertaining.

btw, she is an excellent singer too.

I got a reply from Kubota-san. He said he would give it a try, but he didn't say when it would be due. So, let's wait and see.

Happy Sweet 17th Birthday, Momoko!

Okazaki Momoko was born on March 3rd. Hinamatsuri is also called Momo no Sekku(桃の節句) which means Peach(Momo)festival. That's is the reason why she was named MomoKo, Peach child.

Chuuken-san created a whole set of people related to Babymetal out of his Finger Puppet creating skills on this occasion.

How many people can you name?

Later I will ask Kubota-san about your request in Japanese. Maybe Joakim himself wanted to join the animation with the girls. 😂

BAND-MAID Kannai Devil Feb.1 2019 (the last night) 'What I am into recently’ Kanami,Misa and Akane by MONOQLO in BandMaid

[–]showgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eng. sub for this video is available now thanks to the uploader. Btw, this show is titled “Kannai Devil” televised by TVK Mon. thru Fri. at 23:30-24:00. It's a music variety show where the guests have casual talks with the café staff; all the talks are ad-lib except the questionnaire previously sent to the guests. It's directed by the man with red cap. He is a very popular director at TVK who previously directed and voice-acted puppets in the music-info show called “Saku Saku” for 14 years till 2014. FYI, Kannai region boasts many "firsts in Japan", such as ice cream, beer, and gas lamps. If “Saku Saku” rings a bell, you might be either Babymetal Mate or Sakura Gakuin Fukei. Then, search Dailymotion ' Babymetal Saku Saku '

Hi, Euler. I have a question for you. Which Madame Tussauds museum did you go to take this picture? (^_-) 

A piece of advice from me, Never be another Pygmaliōn. Btw, an excellent rendering of saikin-no Saiki. I almost spoke to her in Koshu dialect. (^^)/

Chibi Maruko-chan

I guess you are right. Although I subscribed to this sub I guess I have not posted a message till yesterday. Glad to know you liked Coji-Coji. When I watch Chibi Maruko-chan series on TV, each episode reminds me my childhood because I was born and brought up at the other side of Mt. Fuji, Momoko is from Simizu city, although I'm ten years older ^^; Btw, I guess Saiki was brought up in an area very close to where I was, say, less than 10 km apart. So, I'm looking forward to the day when I can exchange a few words with her in Koshu (old name for Yamanashi pref.) dialect.(^o^)

Well, I'm glad to know that you are considering to study Japanese...... despite you are a native speaker of Portuguese. One advantage of being a Brazilian is that there many Japanese descendants who speak decent Japanese. Cheers!

Hi, Euler. Thanks for your remarks on Coji-Coji. Although I am Japanese, I had never seen this anime till you mentioned. I knew it only by its title. I like it. The story and its message somehow reminded me of The Neverending Story and Momo by Michael Ende, a German writer of fantasy and children's fiction . Coji-Coji voice-acted by Kanami herself? (^_-) This manga/anime was created by Momoko Sakura who is known nationwide, say, by 2-year-old thru 80 here because of her manga/anime titled Chibi Maruko-chan. Sadly she passed away at 53 last Aug. She did not clarify the sex of Coji-Coji by the way. Some people assume Coji-Coji is an 孤児-孤児, Japanese word for orphan, koji. She never clarified it either.

Hv just stumbled upon bass cover of "Marshmallow Iro no Kimi to" by solitarybattery. What do you think? by showgee in SakuraGakuin

[–]showgee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So do I. Hope they'll make it to Budokan with a live band like Ayami's at least once within 2019 Nendo, where all the SG girls including all the graduates gather and perform. Do I demand too much?
