Another japanese jazz fusion tune!

If you read about how much I adore Mori in this thread, http://soft.com.sg/forum/japan/83739-mori-forest-j-jazz-fusion-band.html
you know how much I love this vid.

Besides, Mori's guitarist Taroma Koshida has a solo in this!! And I saw Mori's bassist Toru Nijishima in 7:25!!! WoooOOOooo...

And and and Hiroki Kashiwagi is the cellist! See 1:50 to 1:53!

Goodness...the drummer had 4 drum sticks in this version.

And the accordian made the song sound so sexy!

The Japanese are really awesome copiers. Look at these kids in this version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PawA5tuolVU

haha yup it sure looks like an exciting music fest!! anw is there a particular reason for dividing them into 2 stages? at first i had imagined it as a battle of some sorts but maybe im just thinking too much hehe

 

[pf]

Its quite common for overseas music fest to be divided into several stages so that the audience can choose the stage they like. Its quite fun.

Violin Summit 2006

This is the version of Jounetus Tairiku played in the Violin Summit 2006.

When you watch this version, you've got to let the orchastra take you to places.

Imagine the lush forest of the South Americas at the rhythmic interval.

Dive under the sea and fly over icy glaziers with the cinematic bridge.

Lastly, put on your most flamboyant clothes to attend a European ball with all its grandeur and frivolity.

Enjoy yourself!

 

[elektrig]

haha yeah i think i can visualise that... but it seems abit like national geographic channel ah hehe esp at 2:18 (is that the sea and the icy glaciers part lol) it's like saying 'pls take care of the environment onegaishimasu' lol

 

[pf]

Yeah...and the harpist had a huge part to play in crystalizing the image.

Its fun to watch, yeah?
