Shamisen banjo new year party

We are preparing

Shamisen stage!

Now it's my turn...I am nervous...

So many people are on the stage. Hei, don't hit me with your shamisen neck, please!

We are playing nagauta which accompanies the kabuki theater. It is very long (one song is over 20 min). My issue is not the technique but my legs....I can't sit on the knees so long!

Anyhow, we finished. Cheers for happy new year!
