Musician Spotlight: JimuinG

As the first spotlight for musicians, I think G-san would be very fitting :).

G-san is quite popular in the ensoushitemitta scene. He was first known as "the guy who plays too many instruments" because he used to upload videos of him playing several instruments all at once that he was dubbed as "the one-man orchestra". He plays anime, Vocaloid and popular songs that time using different kinds of instruments but mostly centered on the piano.

Later on, he had solo piano performances uploaded and eventually, he got into collaborating with various Nico Nico artists (singers and musicians), the first of them Yonji and so on. Now, you may known him as part of big collaborations (e.g., absorb's Smiling) and events (e.g., Nico Nico Daikaigi 2010). Aside from that, he has appeared on TV, in radio and in tons of other events and is also known for being a good conversationalist. He is a much respected musician in the Nico Nico Douga community and wherever there is a big project, you quite possibly will see his name attached to it.

At least weekly, he holds namahousou in his community with him playing popular anime and Vocaloid songs on his piano/keyboard for more than two hours straight. He is quite close to singers such as the Asamakku family (Asamaru, Jack, Choucho, Faneru), etc.

I'm breaking down samples of his works into categories:

one-man orchestra works:
• 【1周年w】1人で同時に情熱大陸を演奏してみた
- here he plays the piano, pianika, high-hat, conga and xylorimba
• 一人で同時演奏：残酷な天使のテーゼを弾いてみた
- here he plays the Evangelion themes using a piano, guitar, pianika, 2 xylorimbas, xylophone, high-hat and a drum
• D.G.演奏は無謀なのか？【事務員G】
- here he plays the piano, violin, 2 xylorimbas, high-hat, xylophone, and pianika. he played the violin using his mouth w

piano solos
• Nanairo no Nico Nico Douga (piano arrange)
• Konbini
• Joe Hisaishi themes

collabs
• Air from Tori no Uta (with Usako on violins)
• Katsushika Parody (with Faneru)
• Kiseki no Chikyuu (with Yonji)

I don't know anything about the ensoushitemitta category, to be honest, but there are a lot of musicians in it that people should know about, right? G-san is just one of them. So, we might be having musician spotlights, too! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! :D

Anyway, I first knew G-san because I was randomly watching namahousou where they play the piano (funny I got to know most of my pianist favorites through nama jumping). G-san's namahousou are always SO amazing. He reads the requests through the comments and plays them one after another without even skipping beat ;_;. I don't know how he does it. Oftentimes, he holds namahousou with Yonji, Choucho, TEST, etc. and play in a studio. I highly recommend his weekend namahousou because they're longer and can be timeshifted (although recently, he seems to be holding namas more often O_O).

Oh yes, G-san is so awesome! I started to watch his nama by pure coincidence though... I just clicked on some random link and although I wasn't interested at all in musican NND category I though 'Wow, he's really good! and kept on watching him for few hours. And just recently I realized that it was him playing on piano and Pokota singing at Daikaigi... And he seems such nice and cheerful man. And he often draws manga-style arts at his nama and they are so nice too. He has many talents ORZ

[fascinates]

I agree that he is a multi-talented man ;_;. He sings, too, right? sob I wish I could play the piano like him.

[nanamka]

Yes, I think I heard him singing too~ And he's not so old LOL acutally he's rather young? I would be happy if I had even a bit of one oh his talents wwww XD

[stephieku.livejournal.com]

I started watching his nama because of you....and he's so talented ;___; He's a jack of all trades!

[fascinates]

LOLOL Glad you watched him then! ♥

I wish I could play as many instruments as he can. I haven't even seen a xylorimba in real life OTL

[lluvia]

Ahhhh G-san is just so amazing, SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS SPOTLIGHT. I first learned about him via his "Unowen Was Her?" cover and I've been completely *__* at him ever since.

Yay I never realized he has a lot of fans :3. I don't think anyone can top him in my best pianist/one-man-orchestra list (and I love a lot of pianists, too...) <3
