@AceF Bass No joke, I'm not even a musician in any mentionworthy way, and covers like this, as well as Tina S, etc... Actually chokes me up ever time, just from watching someone being THAT alive. It's inspiring.

not only is she KILLING IT, it looks like she's having a blast doing it as well. A++++

[@RoninDays]

She comes from the Yoshiki school like a lot of drummers here man! That's why he has the clear drums. He says half of drumming is being seen with all that energy!

[@mikesmith6226]

Ya she's definitely enjoying it 👍🤘🖤🤘

[@nicholasking6066]

She is not looking at the drums, her eyes are closed or elsewhere 98% of the song. She is doing all of this purely on muscle memory and just having fun naming out and not having to focus so not only is it muscle memory, it is not a change to her, this is just hanging out having fun rocking out purely on passive skill no dice roll needed for performance. That is beyond impressive!

[@claponclapoff6]

That performance brings tears to my eyes and gives me hope for the future generations to come

She did the song at song speed, easy for her. JUNNA once performed at her highest speed and caused space/time fold to happen. She is the Bruce Lee of drummers. She did a solo once and her shoes melted, her sticks caught fire and her drums exploded. Junna is a GOAT at 25. Sometimes when she plays, an F-5 Tornado spontaneously appears in Tokyo

[@Wistbacka]

It's not only the perfect timing and great technique, that many drummers can replicate, but it is her energy, her constant smile and glow showing how much she enjoys this that makes this truly special. She is completely chill and just having fun while going full super sayan. That is the most impressive thing imho

[@Glen.Black.]

I've watched this video at least 40 times. It NEVER gets old.....lol She beats those drums like they owe her money!

[@rickanduiza186]

She's has already developed great technique. She looks like she's all over the place with all the extra rocker movements, but she's in complete 100% control all the way through. Very relaxed, notice her shoulders aren't tense and keeping her elbows and her arms low, saving her strength. She hits hard as needed but uses good volume control. Very creative on her fills, mixing it up over the bar which is not easy at this fast tempo. She is just overall freakin rocking this song

[@anthonyhenderson1518]

I am speechless, I was gonna turn from this video until she started playing. She was AMAZING 👏!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@witchdoctor4377]

She's actually a famous artist from Japan. She was the drummer for the band TRiDENT for a while. She's in her early 20s, so not nearly as young and many people seem to think she is. For reference, she started drumming at 15 uears old, and TRiDENT (under their former name of Girls Rock Band Kakumei) released their first album in 2016. Though I don't know her actual birth year, as I wasn't able to find it listed online, it is safe to assume she is at least 22-23 years old currently (2023). (Edited to correct name, as well as add additional info)
