[flying rabbit]

Yeah, this click is worth it.

1. That was pretty awesome, I must say.

And that instrument is one of those where you miss half the awesomeness if you can't watch it being played

2. I think it's a Japanese Koto.

My Japanese American sister has one.

3. I think it's a Koto,

a Japanese musical instrument. My Japanese American sister plays the Koto.

The video is great! Thanks for posting it.

EDIT: double post because I lost my connection and didn't think my other post went through.

5. Well the page says Korean,

someone in the comments says Chinese. I figured some one here would know what it is. The consensus so far seems to be Japanese and that she, of course, rocks!

13. It's a gayageum.

There is a whole family of Asian instruments that are all pretty similar. Koto (Japan), gayageum (Korea), guzhang (China), yatga (Mongolia), etc... Western equivalent is the zither.

16. Thank you

THAT would explain the confusion.

4. She's dynamite

And that's a Japanese Koto

6. I think Jimmy would have approved of your message.

That was pretty bad-assed.

7. That was fantastic!

She just needs to get out the lighter fluid!

8. I've seen this before and she's spectacular. Check out her other vids too.

Very gifted musician.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

9. Oh wow,

That was cool!

[flying rabbit]

10. shameless kick for the morning crew. nt

[panader0]

11. Very cool!

12. She should light it on fire and smash it at the end.

She is good but these kids have more stage craft:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. she's not on a stage. She's in a studio, and it looks like it's a studio she put together herself.

I doubt ANYone gets into costume and does a stage act to record in the studio.


as far as musicianship--ya, they're good. and they're adorable.

but no comparison.

14. Her interpretation and

execution are fine, but the drum track is lame. Triplet based rhythm, ala Mitch Mitchell would give it a fine edge.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

19. I'm sure she gets a producer and a label, she'll be fine.

I get the impression she engineered the whole thing. Looks like a homemade recording/mixing studio.

[OnyxCollie]

15. Whoooo!

(Holds up lighter)

[Brigid]

17. Yes, very cool.

Jimi would do this:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. wow!! mesmerizing! I love watching fantastic musicians.

love that "in the zone" look, total concentration, total mastery of their instrument.

21. Totaly shreds it. I want her album.
