She is the best.
In my point of view the first person was the best
愛実さんのショパンは
💓すてき💓です
愛実さんの楽しく演奏される舞台を拝見、拝聴させて頂ける日を心待ちにしております🙌
🇵🇱ショパン🇵🇱も喜ばれていることと想います
Ex equo 1 place with Bruce. Bruce might be perfect, but scale of emotions in Aimi performance goes beyond comprehension.
One new God of the piano!!!!
Love this Chopin too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXFz1X9-1Fo
Brava
Aimi always looks sullen and bitter to my, for some reason. As if she were on a mission to win a prize in the competition to redeem herself…but from what? She was still a finalist in 2015. I just feel as if this quest made her so intense. I hope she can relax and enjoy her art.
Kobayashi plays the right hand with the nuance of a singer! I don't know what attack and pedaling can accomplish this but she makes an easys piece which is true adult philosophy-meaning music into a true test of rubato line and left hand voiced chords and the pedalling is a near miracle . I've been watching her videos since she was a child so I'm not too surprised to see her . I hope all is ok- she looks unhappy I hope Covid hasn't harmed anyone she knows .
Aimi🥇❤️❤️❤️
10:41 It's amazing how she overcomes the disadvantage in handspan there.
Congrats my dear, from La Paz, Bolivia
She did amazing play in Prelude. I do not know any other better prelude played than Aimi. But concerto in Final was in one of average class.
今回のショパンコンクールで１番良かった事は、愛実さんの24のプレリュードに出逢えたことです✨
何度も何度も聴いています。
芯のある音、これ以上ない繊細な表現。聴く度に感動を覚えます。
心の琴線に触れる素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。
リサイタルがあったら必ず聴きに行きます。
Simply Wonderful! Thank You so much
In the past few weeks, I have been listening to all these performances in the background while I work. Whenever something sounds really good, I tend to check the pianist's name, and most of the time, it seems to be Aimi Kobayashi.

she has been touched by chopins soul
震えますねぇ
She is a stunning player. She’s sharing a story, rather then just telling it.
Millions of Asians suffered under Japanese imperialist rule. They were murdered, subjugated, experimented, raped, etc. I hope the Polish people understand what Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, Indonesians, and others went through. They were stripped of their human rights, livelihood, and even talent like this weren't even available to them. The Japanese took it all from them. The Polish would know this from WWII. It's important to recognize the past to prepare for a better future. But, the Japanese government still deny to this day their wrongdoings. Cabinet members shifting their stance on the topic left and right. It's so shameful.
I am always very touched when I listen to Aimi.
ねむれるおんがく
Would love to know what Aimi thinks about the Fazioli vs. the Steinway she used for the competition. I guess for this concert they defaulted to the winner's piano?
8:51
Very beautiful
What's awesome is how this young Asian girl plays with such passion at her own tempo .. while the Latin contestants practice their robotics …
Anyone else catch that? So much for Latin owning passion
Aimi and Fazioli makes a perfect combo. Lovely performance as always. Also, I love those aerial shots during the d minor prelude – you can tell she owns that instrument 💪
Just Beautiful
Amazing talent.
BRAWO ! ❤️❤️❤️
a unique and reticent rendering of the main melody as though sad, withdrawn and……..not ALLA GERMANIC: melody only SOOOO LOUD while all other parts of the piece are essentially ignored.
Szopen nie zagrałby tego lepiej…,
This past competition was really a tough one! She deserved top position but then again few others did too!
愛美さんありがとう❤
Beautiful Music Hands!
Brilliant!
