Inspiring violinist Manami Ito: A Japanese woman with an amputated arm has everyone amazed with her violin playing. The woman is missing her right arm; it has been replaced by a mechanical prosthesis. When you hear her music, you can’t even believe that it is played by a person with a disability.
In early September, a video of this Japanese violinist went viral on Facebook. The woman is missing her right arm; it has been replaced by a mechanical prosthetic device attached to her shoulder. The bow is held in place by this device.
Manami was an ordinary student, dreaming of becoming a doctor, but after an accident her life was divided into before and after. In this accident, the girl lost her arm. She had to give up her dream. But Manami did not give up.
At first she was into swimming, and then she taught herself to play the violin. No one believed that she would succeed, but thanks to daily training and persistence, the girl succeeded.
The video shows that before starting to play, the musician does a little warm-up.
At first it seems like it’s quite hard and it’s unlikely that anything good will come of it.
However, from the first chord of the violin, doubts about the playing abilities of this Japanese girl are completely dispelled.
By moving her right shoulder, she creates a stunning melody on her instrument.
Her video was posted by a Japanese user on Facebook. Within the first five days, the video had almost 10 million views.
This story is about the fact that you should never give up. Everything is possible, you just need desire and persistence.
