Happy almost new year for those living in places that aren’t in Jan 1st yet, and Happy new year to those that are living in Jan 1st!! So, I thought I should share most of my goals for the new years, since they’re mostly Shamisen (And Hougaku in general) related. I call them New Years goals, and not New Years resolutions, because I don’t see anything that needs to be resolved. Haha. So, here’s a list:
To obtain a Beginner’s Shamisen, a Ryuteki and a Hichiriki (So I won’t have to stick with my Asoviva Sanshin and voice imitation abilities.)
To learn Shinto Music on the Hichiriki and Ryuteki.
To write a Shamisen song for the one I love.
To write a Jiuta style song.
To learn how to play Hatsune Miku’s Nyanyanyanya (AKA Nyan Cat) on Shamisen.
To play a Shamisen-Piano duet with my love. (She plays Piano)
To meet the all great Kyle Abbot!
To choreograph my own Kagura Dance.
To choreograph my own Odori Dance (With the accompaniment of Shamisen).
To be able to sing Min’yo and Nagauta perfectly.
And finally, to become a master, of Shamisen, Hichiriki, Ryuteki, and any other Japanese instrument I get my hands on.
Great list dude! Happy new year!
