First Time Hearing JUNNA "Through The Fire And Flames" | DragonForce | Reaction

[@Grington300]

Junna is always fun. The part where she stood and took a drink was referencing DragonForce's official video where Sam Totman did the same thing while Herman Li did his part of the guitar duet.

[@GOTGames]

Oh I didn't pick up on that! Love that nod to the original!!

[@tanewoodley6632]

I love that bit. I always took it as a tongue-in-cheek poke from a drummer to guitarists, that the guitarists get to rest now and then, but the drummer keeps on going :)

[@simno345]

She's a bit over 20 in this vid. She is always fun to watch 🙂 She was in a band called "girls rock band kakumei" until she, ehem, "left due to musical differences" (i.e. she wouldn't wind it back). The rest of the band went on to form 'Trident' (a great jrock band btw) with a new drummer Nagisa, just as good but not overshadowing the rest of the band. She is currently in a project with Blue Ichigo Ichinose (bass player on YT) amoungst others.

I never get tired of watching Junna play. I feel tired after watching her though, so much great energy

[@GOTGames]

😂 I agree! Amazing how her energy feels like your energy!

[@arnaldotanta3630]

Junna was born in 1997 ( , started playing drums at age 14 in 2011, joined the band Kakumei ( girls rock band kakumei) now Trident ( since 2020) in 2013 ( first single: purest blue , 25 june 2013) at age 16 and left in 2020 at age 23 when she made this video , she's 25 now.

[@markwilken2492]

Junna… the girl born into a vat of Red Bull. Absolutely nuts. Just subbed dude!

[@paulpabloanderson6884]

No band can contain Junna. She needs centre stage to herself. That's why she is a solo artist now, only doing the occasional guest support role. Sheer talent, sheer entertainment.

[@richardbooth4573]

note she never breaks a drum stick and never misses a beat

[@gerardcote8391]

She was the drummer for Trident. They have a few videos to check out. Not much is known about her, but supposedly she is 25 yes old. She has a bunch of vids. And the drummer from DragonForce did a reaction to this and was very impressed.

[@mattdhorstman]

Man I love watching people watch this video for the first time. She's incredible.

[@JoFa876]

She's crazy in the best way possible and an epic drummer.

[@olrikparlez3152]

I could watch vids of people reacting to Junna all day. She never fails to stun! I found this vid by accident months ago and nearly lost my mind. I was stuck between bouts of gleeful laughter and being dumbstruck with astonishment and awe. If I have a bad moment the cure is watching Junna...or watching people watching Junna!

[@101harrycox]

DUDE, ''''THIS IS THE -[BEST]- REACTION VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN''''. The first time I saw Junna do this video I had to watch it twice because,,, the way you explained what you felt and thought was exactly what was going through my head the first time, but I couldn't explain it, not even to myself, but you just did it. I had to lay down and pull my head together too. AND I really love the way you explained what it takes to be a drummer, with the left foot doing one thing and the right foot doing the opposite, AND THEN SWITCH "when you figure out how to do that, then come talk to me", that was perfect. Most other reactors don't really understand music that well and just say "oh, that was good" (like as if that's what they're supposed to say), but YOU just hit the freakin nail right on the freakin head. 'THANK YOU'.

[@R2robot]

At this point i've seen the original and reactions to it over 100 times and still not tired of it. The level of difficulty is so high and she plays it so perfectly and even adding her own complex touches to it. The showmanship, the fluidity and the drums sound so good themselves. It's like travis barker and a powerpuff girl had a baby. Also, you talked about controlling arms and legs separately.. 2:20 she uses her heel as well. This cover is so amazing that sadly, people are shitting on other drum covers that aren't up to this standard.

Amazing reaction!!!. Demon By Junna is her actual song, Also it's one of my favorite songs.

she is as talented as most drummers way her senior! I started watching her videos not too long ago and i really enjoy them! Im not a musician but i have found that its quite difficult to use a double base drum set and the fact she is awesome at it just makes for a great video every time! I love the music she picks to play as well!!!

[@phaeron]

Yes, the dear Junna is very impressive. She knows very well how to combine talent with show. 🔥 And while we're talking about crazy drummers, I notice that you only have Nemophila's original songs in your list so far. However, they also have some brilliant covers on their channel. One of them is X-Japan's 'Kurenai'. I can only highly recommend to check out both the original in the 'Last Live' version and Nemo's cover. :) And I'll just say this, X-Japan's drummer, who is also the founder of the band, has often had to wear a neck brace due to neck problems coming from his playing style. The neck brace was also very prominently acknowledged by Babymetal in their early days. _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊

I have been meaning to check out some of their covers think it's about time I did so!

@@GOTGames Nemophila's drummer Murata Tamu also has her own YT channel and she has a lot of great drumming clips plus an interesting X-Japan cover project she was involved in with Daisuke Kurosawa. Nemophila's Kurenai from X-Japan is a great cover for sure.

[@DaShap]

Dam, the look you had when she picked up the water. And I know most recent post tell you the story, but.... SO few reactors get this. And if they are saw official video, it's even sadder they don't get it. That occurs during the solo duel. While waiting for Herman, Sam picks up a beer to drink. Juuna simply mimics it and it's a brilliant twist to her video.

She was one of the founding members the band Girls Rock Band Kakumei. She left in 2020 and the other two members renamed the band to TRiDENT and got a new drummer. But their older videos with Junna are on their channel. TRiDENT with the new drummer are worth checking out too.

I just stubled across her video the other day. I'm a drummer myself and when I saw her I was like... I gotta hear this. Through the Fire and Flames are a pretty hard song to get through on any instrument but damn she nailed it. I would have run out of air mid way through.

Hahaha... OMG.. It's always fun to watch first reaction of noobs on Junna! 🤣🤣🤣.. You are looking at probably one of the few best drummers of Japan. Lol.. Junna is on another level of drumming and she is literally,little Japanese powerhouse with pigtails. She started to play drums at her 15 and now she's 26.

Not sure what her plans are about forming another band, but if I had a band right now, I would definitely try to get her as the drummer! She freaking rocks! Also, JUNNA is around 26, or so.

[@METALSKINMETAL]

Her BABYMETAL cover in cozplay 🤘 and Ashes of the Dawn.

[@DavidKAnderson]

Although Junna isn't currently an official full member of any band, she's the go-to "guest drummer" when ex-Bridear shredder Mitsuru's anisong/metal fusion project Madeseka (full name: Madamitakoto No Nai Sekai) plays with a full lineup. Given Mitsuru's warp speed playing and compositions, Junna is a perfect choice! The replacement drummer for Junna in Trident (Nagisa) is not a downgrade, either. Another amazing young Japanese drummer...

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

Here is a list I would recommend, in some kind of priority order: Painkiller Rising Force Riinu Kun Rising Star Canon Rock Genghis Kahn Doki doki morning

[@stalheimskleivabeitostolen]

And if you have time, listen to the original version of Makenaide and the Queen song Junna is covering and compare. Junna makes every song better and is adding pure awesomness to every song she plays. She will always outdo the original drummer.

[@ericsicard910]

This is great! Now if you want to discovet a guitar prodigy, check Tina S on the same song! Herman Li, lead guitarist of Dragonforce, was totally amazed and said she made the best cover ever. At 15 year old. Playing both lead guitar and rythmn guitar at the same time 😱
