This is such a brilliant idea!
I love her technique, can’t stop watching her. IT’s one of the Ki&Ki shamisen girls if I’m right…
Yes, that is right. It is one of the Ki&Ki girls, but I do not know her name.
Me neither, I’m following them on facebook but never really noticed if she is putting her real name there. Ki&Ki are some of my favorite shamisen players
