Ai Furusato and YOYOKA - Sparkling (Original Song) / Live Performance

[@davidhammond7724]

Of all of the many projects Yoyoka has been involved with recently, I'm most excited by her collaborations with Ai (though the Ken Okada Group stuff is awesome too!)

[@alexschwichtenberg1563]

Wake up music industry unbelievable talent here

[@daveintx]

You two are such an exciting combination of talent and enthusiasm! Congratulations! Here's hoping for some long-distance collaborations to come!

[@Siletzia]

My favorite duo. I hope Yoyoka and Ai collaborate on many projects in the future.

[@ph7080]

Watching these two other-worldly and incredibly gifted young ladies painfully brings to the fore my mere mortal status :(

[@gameboy228]

My wife and I attended and you two were spectacular. Had such a good time!!!! Note to Bourbon Room - As a photographer myself and having experience in lighting you have to get rid of the ultra violet lights it absolutely kills photo and video as seen in Ai being completely washed out in purple light in this video.

[@glenkelley6799]

Sparkling is a great song and transposed by Ai for piano is just great.

[@Hound45]

This young lady should continue song writing!!! Excellent song. Listened to it a number of times, it keeps getting better with each listen. Been listening to Yoyoka since she played Zeppelin’s ‘ Good Times, Bad times’ on You Tube at 8 years old. Love her!! I did notice some John Bonham in the drum solo. Most excellent!!

[@denniseldridge2936]

I'll say it again - I think you and Ai have an especially deep musical connection that creates pure magic every time you play together. You match each other in your skill levels to a degree that one rarely sees, and its so wonderful 🙂

[@chrisegbertky]

Young and Brave is the title of one of the Ken Okada group's albums. That's an apt description of Ai and Yoyoka. Anytime they play together we are seeing two world class prodigies playing without hesitation. Magnificent!

[@turdeaugottago114]

overwhelming, we are in the presence of true brilliance here. yoyoka you looked a bit grumpy for the first few minutes, but you still just crush it when youre not even trying. remarkable 🙏

[@caprise-music6722]

This is so incredibly good! Not to mention impressive. Phenomenal

[@namorlam]

What a beautiful performance and truly a pure delight.

[@danfloyd4547]

I felt so fortunate to have been there for this.

[@katzchannel4159]

2:10 I enjoyed Ai's improvising or newly arranging part

[@checkboxeleven]

4:22 Most important part of the song - well played! 🥰 Honestly, the syncopation revolving around the basic groove of this song is truly inspirational - to the people out there with maybe less formal musical backgrounds, replay this video with your eyes closed and focus on letting the rhythm and notes just dance around. 🎶😵‍💫🎵

[@Rob-Yule]

It was magical!

[@darlenemc3586]

Rock? Jazz? Perfection

[@888jimm]

Yes😂

[@DavidGatto]

So Weather Reportish, nice❤

[@888jimm]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Aclimade]

Yaaaaaaaaay! (Please note: I'm standing and applauding.)

[@acdc0112]

2人の洗練されたテクニックと溢れる才能は素晴らしい👍聴いてて実に気持ちが良い。

[@koma-1122]

何十回と聴いているこの曲、新たな展開にワクワクする。この曲はどの様なスタイルでも聴きごたえが有る。

[@yunak4907]

excellent.

[@Glen.Black.]

Such talented and wonderful young ladies! I was talking to a couple of people after the concert about how much I loved this arrangement better than the original, as I was unknowingly standing next to the guy who did the original arrangement. The original was great. But when a couple of musical geniuses like YOYOKA and AI start with something great that has a super solid foundation, how can it not be BETTER THAN GREAT!

[@Rob-Yule]

I wish the video kept going for another 30 seconds, they were both so happy they did this flawless performance live!

Thank you!!

[@Guardducks]

I love watching AI ticket the ivories. 🎹

[@TwinTailSteve]

This is very good song writing and composition.

[@cricketsmovie]

完璧なコーラスのデュエットを聴いているような演奏。すごい。

[@busterwaverider5680]

This is your best stuff.

[@taumlux3790]

My favorite duo of all time! 💚U both✨

[@keymusic]

"Playing like a girl" has taken on a whole new meaning.

[@gbulmer]

Maybe you mean "Hit like a girl!" not "Playing like a girl" AFAIK, "Playing like a girl", wasn't a thing to take on a new meaning. Best Wishes. ☮

[@ceycomaz]

Fantastic groove !!

[@ConradSpoke]

Your collaborations are always fascinating.

[@taumlux3790]

A little more volume Ai🤗

[@guyzucker4583]

[@ivandj707]

This is great, I wonder how it would sound if Charlotte joins you on guitar? Fusion trio?

[@2visiondigital]

Add Ellen on bass.....

[@garsox]

Dang...where's Allen Holdsworth when you need him... that was awesome

[@888jimm]

Maybe Juana Sera could join them

[@nederlanditism1154]

It's possibly the situation that someone feels the urge to take her aside and tells her that too many things might spoil everything that little bit that it's no longer great. As much as we understand the motivation to upload recordings from this particular event (for a subscribers group largely consisting of worshippers biting away those less enthused), to leave happenings over to obscurity could be the better choice.

[@82tom87]

Now, Ai Furusato should play much better together with a 100％ pure jazz drummer, than with such a rock-styled drummer👎

[@Rob-Yule]

? what has that got to do with anything. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4LbeoN9rtOcbJI

[@82tom87]

@Rob-Yule Ai Furusato should be into JAZZ

[@Rob-Yule]

@@82tom87 well she is. She has been accepted into Berkeley School of Music as the youngest ever at 12, now 13, with here jazz focus. YOYOKA has been engulfed in jazz and jazz fusion since arriving in the US starting at the Oakland School of the Arts and being introduced to Ken Okada. She has produced with Ken 2 jazz fusion albums in a year. YOYOKA has claimed for years she can’t do jazz (same with funk) but she has since age 7 unknown to her. She has stated recently that jazz is really amazing as it gives her so much room and flexibility. She is a chameleon on the drum and thus a studio drummer dream for a producer. If you take the time to pursue her video CV you will see from age 4 to now YOYOKA can do whatever is needed.

[@82tom87]

@@Rob-Yule Yoyoka could be John Bonham👍️ but Steve Gadd👎

[@82tom87]

much less Simon Phillips

[@harrydai1862]

SO GOOD
