Greetings from Austria :)

Hello there!

I am new in this community and just wanted to say hello :).
I finally got my shamisen in September in Tokyo for my 27th birthday! Before that I was only singing and I hope to accompany myself in the future with the shamisen (far future XD).
When I am not singing or practicing shamisen I work as a flight attendant, so I travel to Japan a lot, maybe I can join some event with Bachido members someday.
You can find me on Youtube as well, my channel is pretty nerdy but I am always happy about comments :slight_smile: I plan to upload videos with shamisen too, but I have to practice more until then :D.

See you around :slight_smile:

Welcome to the club.

P.S. Always wanted to say that.

Welcome to Bachido Sarah!

Welcome, Wilkommen

Confound you guys! You beat me to the first welcome. :frowning:

Anyhow, Welcome, welcome Sarah!

Congratulations on getting your first shamisen! :slight_smile: Indeed, if you travel to Japan frequently, you should be able to attend the 2014 Bachido Festival in Hokkaido! :slight_smile:

By the way, being that you are in Austria, there’s a small chance you may have taken a cab ride with another Bachido member, Bernhard (known as BH on the forum)! I’m sure he’ll pop up here and relay his greetings very soon.

Thanks for your channel link! I look forward to your involvement in Bachido! :slight_smile:

Thank you and welcome!!!

Welcome to Bachido!

Thanks for the nice welcome! :smiley: I had some cab rides in my life, so maybe XD Didn’t expect someone else from Austria!

and finally I guess I am to check out some of those anime clips I never got into that so far but will surely check out your channel :slight_smile:

so free complimentary cab ride then should you want one in Graz sometime (unless vacation time which is upcoming thank god :slight_smile:

going on a burgenland / salzburg round trip and grew up in Lungau where the snow is . . .

awesome that you have a shamisen and welcome to the forum . . .

I have been to vienna a couple of times to and from but it would be illegal to pick up unknown customers there so probably we have not seen each other at least definitely not on a cab ride there . . .

:slight_smile:

Sarah, your singing is amazing. You have a beautiful voice!

What style of shamisen are you playing?

@BH My grandfather lives in Graz, so maybe I could need a cab ride sometime :smiley:
Salzburg is great, have fun on your trip, I love going there always :slight_smile:

@Michael Thanks! I have a Tsugaru Shamisen, I think it was made in Hokkaido. And it is pretty heavy! XD

Welcome aboard!

oh cool damn it no I mean yes I stand by my word and shall be happy to drive you to your grandfather or back to the airport free of charge . . . :slight_smile: I might even have a 2013 Taxi 878 calendar for you looks like more than enough were made this year I will send you my cell phone number I guess or you can contact me via bachido anyway I will be driving again starting january 2 after the christmas vacation . . . !
