[@Diandra-]

Everytime is see videos like this.. i hate the fact i stopped b-girling and lost everything ;-; i really want to start again but study and work take over my life...

[@Aleglost]

Find time for yourself girl, theres always a spare 5 minutes here and there :D

[@nordentamang9439]

time management skills will help you.

[@KurosakiXIchigoxXx]

How about breakdancing on your way to work ...your boss will be really happy with your punctuality !

[@nouahlevi]

if you really had passion for it you will somehow make time for it

[@Diandra-]

Warner Liao well my study/school is also my passion ^^

[@NouHang]

damn japan with them power moves! they had everything too....korea was a lil weak for me....but either way good job to both :)

[@kite0impulse]

Why was the crowd so damn quiet? I actually thought the venue was empty until the lights came on at the end.

[@StrayCurt]

@bobbymcjenkins006 those are not mediocre bboys...they have been in the scene as long as any other korean bboy. who were you expecting, the end, physicx, blond, hong10? yea cause those are the only bboys you know

[@lLuckkyMe]

Korea was pretty smooth and nice but yeah I'm not gonna lie, Japan was better and was perfect with the beat

[@jad3948]

of course japan killed it, they have ninja blood

[@DriftDweller]

not really, they crashed a couple times, but they still have the ninja abilility to get right up from a crash,

[@DriftDweller]

Left is Japan: Taisuke Babylon Kaku Right is Korea: NautyOne Born Fhiz

[@DriftDweller]

***** lol how can you tell it's Korean? And even if he wore a shirt with Korean or whatever writing on it, doesn't mean he's necessarily from there. Even without posting the teams or anything, I can tell you by the way he dances and looks that it's Kaku, who is from Japan.

[@simply6162]

***** from video is right but in reality is left use logic

[@zeeshansajid353]

DriftDweller One of them looked like dol from mb crew. But i could be wrong.

[@bintangsatriou7976]

I just know Taisuke, lol xD

[@brucesatow]

Japan is on the left. Korea opens from the right.

[@PoppinHam]

Really? I saw the musicality in 1:10, the spin rpm and music bpm matches really well in 2:15 to 2:36 too... That bald dude in black shirt is a little bit sloppy but he's still pretty good... Incoorporating musicality in power moves like that is hell of a fine job I'd say? I don't know if you saw it, but to me it seemed their dancing was pretty on the beat.

[@nasty2142]

im korean but this time i think i sould admit the winning of japan.. their move was definitely good^^

[@cornbreadmilton5265]

Im back here in 2024,i have Nostalgia gor this vid,i wached it on YT at the library everyday after school

[@rango8714]

lol which one is japan and which one is korea?

[@808ASIANKID808]

In all honesty I think Japan won. Like in terms of beat and cleanliness with accordance to their sets. I think it was a good close match

[@MangoBeer]

wow, i thought my country(korea) was the best on bboy but JAPAN is awesome! this time, japan was way better,

[@ParadoxOtaku]

japan was on the left and korea on the right. Go Japan :D those spin are amazing and so is korea.

[@inoout]

if one day we run out of energy, i think it's safe to say we can rely on kaku for power.... he just doesn't stop spinning lol

[@sonyyaaj]

i guess the ppl that voted for korea probably thought the japan side was korea, cuz shit japan took this all the way

[@3atRic3]

Korea just got over powered by Japan.. :o

[@Newtype2259]

Japan killed it :O

[@TheBreakmusicchannel]

This battle was rocked by the japanese! Bboy Taisuke was the best one here of all of them.

[@Aliensarethinking]

5:50 He kills it. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@amitagrg]

Taisuke just kills everyone here

[@joshua-cho]

Korea are the best at b-boy dancing!!!!!!GO KOREA!!!!

[@folafolafolafortyfo]

GUYS ON THE LEFT WERE CLEARLY BETTER

[@OhmVibe]

Japan slayed

[@lawson7899]

You can say that Korea win the game, but lose the match... I think the japan team should win, and i love taisuke moves... At least if you bring hong10, i think it would be better...

[@swirvcreatives]

lol immature way of thinking, you can do power with style, like taisuke (and born) do. its how u do it, not what u do. lol and damn how times have changed, before it was always korea with the power no style

[@ZzupperDupper456]

HOLY SHIT THAT GUY WHO DOES ALL THE HEAD TURNS IS AWESOME

[@jun1art]

KOREA? wtf? if you guys came with Wing, Pyschix or Hong10, I wont question bout the result, :o it's not about power or footwork, it's how u cheers audience :o, Go, get that reward with shame :))

[@raymcgrath6794]

The best headspin of all time.

[@fotismnts654]

very nice battle !! unique moves unique bboys !!

[@doolyking5786]

Team Japan actually was really impressive on this battle. Props to them. I state this because I saw a similar battle between these two Korean and JPN teams on other video and obviously that particular Japan team was no match for the Korean team. And as usual, the Korean team was great.

[@evilgerbiyu]

taisuke should bust out more sets like his first set. :) pure clean pure awesome.

[@swirvcreatives]

lol not mean, just educating. we're all students, just some farther along than others, so we pass on what we know.

[@LawkSam]

Japan: KAKU, TAISUKE, BABYLON Korea: BORN, NAUTYONE, FHIZ

[@josephloveskimchi4226]

japanese had a good battle .. and hell im surprised we won... but seeing all the transitions and shit i understand why we got more points. its not about the power moves and flares its about who pulls it off cleanest the dude wit the black probably pulled off the msot points wit hall that nice footwork . dude on red did to many power flares. mean while in our side we wee more woried about gettign points and winning then to looking flashy . flashyness does not = victory people.

[@peterlee6865]

Well reprented. Both team did really well. In my opinon though Japanese won. Korean got styles and all,but Japan had it as well and on the beat too.power was crazy.Well it is not just about power. Anyways, making racial provocative statements is uncalled for. Judges thought koreans one. I am sure there were reasons why they chose korean over Japan. Or else they wouldn't have been judges in the first if they didn't know what they were doing. Judging is really difficult. respect the judges.peace

[@pieofthechoco]

Korea hit more beats and had better footwork....Japan had the same power moves introduced over and over (seeming to be repetitive). Judges don't like repetition. Think about it. The Japanese footwork dude had crazy footwork...it was the same every time and didn't hit the beats very often. the power head, same moves til the 2000's started appearing. the other power head, don't remember. Korea's team didn't introduce much power but they did show a lot of footwork AND they hit more beats.

[@BtwIOweU1]

Boy,,U must be smoking some serious crack, if u think Korean bboys are "mediocre"....If u look at this battle again, Korea had swag and style..AND was hitting the beat where as bboy kaku (or however u say his name..) did not have various set. Although,,babylon and taisuke did very good in this battle but if u say that korea had awful line-up..watch and observe carefully. In the end, Korea wins

[@sukerjumps]

speak in a battle against the other bboys you have always done, serves to distract, to remove the concentration...the rispect has nothing to do ... I do not like it when I see a bboy go after one of his companions to make a double set...or to stay into the circle... respect is earned with actions...talk, aggressivity in a battle and others have nothing to do whit it!!

[@terrado7]

Here comes the racist part. At some point do the japanese start making some sushi or something? Or the koreans start, ... doing something koreans are stereotypically known for? I'm sure to someone from china this is black and white different but if you're representing two countries from the same region wear a shirt for crying out loud. Have some national pride!

[@WhiskeyDoe1]

I think japan should've won,judging from the fans cheers,Japan's crew had more appeal.Clean or Not,they had both style and they made it sync with difficult moves.Note that this is in China meaning there is no discrimination in Country of origin.Both were good,but gotta go with japan on this one.

[@icynok]

@rockystars11 ??? someone is never to old to dance and enjoy something they like as long as they are still competing and able to hold their own against other bboys, why not? that would be like telling elderly folks not to play video games just because many think it's just for kids. xD

[@isakwilkinson2491]

I don't know who is who but I'm thinking the guy to the left of the screen or blowing the guys to the right of the screen away completely I'm like what the f

[@BtwIOweU1]

You all E-boys or someone whos new to the bboy scene, Bboying is not all about the powermoves and fancy flips,, its about musicality. Its about hitting the beat. I'm not gonna talk about who wins or not. I just want you all to know that..

[@SASMIA6CIA]

Japan did do great and so did korea but these were 2 totally different dance styles (except for babylon from japan). i love born and fhiz but if kill or pocket or any other power mover from korea went out they wouldve wrecked japan

[@808ASIANKID808]

kinda suprised that i got a reply after a month ...kinda forgot this video but uhh, my opinion was based on overall performance, and im not a professional judge man, i excuse tad mistakes if the rest makes up. anyways its just my opinion man~~

[@jodaho]

@MrSayonara88 i hate wack e-boys that think they know bboying! i hate it when they think they know everything about judging! all jokes aside, lets have a real conversation, and please do tell me why you think Japan should have won?

[@pizzahizza]

If you ask for Japan's top bboys you'd get Katsu, Taisuke, Kazuhiro, Atsuki, Katwo, Wing Zero, etc. I only see Taisuke there as one of Japan's top bboys and you also have born there as one of Korea's top bboys.

[@hi_strat]

Casper talked a lot shit then got smoked. Bro, Casper was the one lippin away while Rivers was just there to JAM. And Even Casper disses Born's style, thats disrespect to another bboy. "MY style, MY Flavor." - Born

[@doodle0211]

I think the left side is japan and the right side korea. also i have to guess that they were probably two of many teams from korea and japan in this competition which would make such wardrobe choice a bit too indistinct.

[@shorties7]

@Zitolos as far as i know benny ben is not in floor gangz and only nautyone and born are. i suppose they would rep the crew that they're in all and not the crew only 2 of them are in. don't quote me on this tho.

[@macooca]

i don't understand why team korea won. they should have better members. i mean it should not be the best member of korea. only good powermover in the team korea was the guy in the blue/red hat. and i see no creativity on the other 2 guys' footwork.

[@ExtremeForever]

Im surprise Korea won. We all know they dope ok, but Japan gave it out more and really did killed it. For the 1st time I ever I thot Japan shoulda have it. I knew fr Korea won fr the start jus cuz they all got Styles, but that doesn't mean they did as good.

[@That0therAsian]

Japan's definitely got great power. Korea hits the beats quite well.

[@NyctNyct]

@poshnsheek I hope you know what sick means.

[@BboyAMD]

@bboyzuel born, naughty1 and babylon are all in a crew together (Floor Gangz) plus born and taisuke are both on MZK. yes korean and japan have bad history but this is hip hop, this is bboying - peace, love, respect > hate (:

[@BboyAMD]

@bobbymcjenkins006 really...awful and mediocre? since when are born, naughty1, etc. awful/mediocre bboys? who did you want to see then? kill, bruce lee and hong10? lol... come on man show a little more respect to them...

[@Kensoy83]

No, bboying's culture is the true hip hop of the 4 elements. Swag is a word that now and days rappers made up. You just don't involve the money hungry industry for this sacred lifestyle.

[@kazuzuagogo]

still gotta admit it was pretty close though. Overall just a SICK battle haha. I think if japan was a bit cleaner, or they had a bit more distinct style they could have won it.

[@BtwIOweU1]

..Hes only acting like that because its a BATTLE.. Plus, he wasn't being disrespectful in any ways. Did he ever interrupt his opponent? Did he ever reject handshakes after the battle?

[@kjunkwakwak]

@HeyPoi but its better to name the crews instead of naming the countries and bringing things between the country plus i think they should put down crew names on the discription

[@prof_francisco_tuc]

no me gusta el estilo de los asiaticos, no buscan seguir el ritmo solo buscan mostrar sus movimientos complejos, me ceban mas los americanos

[@NELRUMT]

competivity is good. but don't forget respect like dancers in video, please. they do best and hand shake and hug! battle is battle! nice battle! both dancers were good!

[@MaxiZee]

@FTWcookies yo do you have the song bro? could you take a look for me pls?

[@MrsLoveOnly1]

Team on the left was sooooooo much better. The right sides team was so stiff with their movements. Overall I enjoyed the performance 1 out 10. Its gets a 5.

[@jayellzee]

Woah geez guys these crews show respect to each other when they're not dancing, the least you can do is do the same... This isn't about race, it's about dancing

[@slakker321]

man both of them were great, japan had a bit too much power, but it was impressive, even with taisuke and his repetitive sets lmao, loving born's musicality tho

[@thestarplayer096]

Honestly its funny how people say Japan is better when these korean bboys arent even the best. The japan representitives had their best bboys....SO GO KOREA!!!

[@warriornes]

watch the first battle born vs casper it was suppose to be a friendly battle in middle of the crowd but born's friends were being more disrespectful in korean imo

[@sukerjumps]

humble???? ahahahahahahahahahah ....his attitude during a battle is horrible...do not respect never.... then do not complain if there are bboys aggressive...

[@Amtillthepm]

korea was all style, japan all power. its two completely different styles. korea killed them wit their style. u dont need "flashy" moves to win a battle.

[@icynok]

none of them are even good at Top rocking xD but the guy in the red shirt is the best of them all, he absolutely killed it and blew them all away.

[@tilekt]

One: A b-boy should not be bald.., it looks ugly; Two: Pro is always a pro.., look at Taisuke; Three: Why Taisuke is not in a RedBull outfit?

[@brandonhillbrandneubeatz]

Honestly in my book.......JAPAN KICKED KOREA ASS but Korea does has smooth and clean techniques but creativity and style JAPAN!!! Hands DOWN

[@Sokyujo]

was this the finals? are there more battles from this? Korea super dope born was on fire. Surprised it wasn't OT though Japan was pretty nasty too

[@terrado7]

Why do asians have to make every dance impossibly difficult? I still can't crypt walk without being laughed out the building thanks to you guys.

[@itzApprenticeSteve]

@andrewyang1993 not true alot of great poppers and lockers are from japan, as well as i love footwork crew so that is a false statement sir.

[@kMAROONp]

@MrJohnnyYang Taisuke is the only one on the Japan team from All Area and Born and Nauty1 are the only ones from Rivers from the Korea team.

[@chubs6579]

Holy shit dude, the Japanese crew tore this shit up like crazy, if you dont know which is which, the Japan crew has the dude with the red shirt.

[@K-Maze]

where are your ears ? listen 7:47 winner is korea!!! expert chose it

[@SASMIA6CIA]

In terms of beat and cleanliness? LOL Did you not see taisuke's crash and the bald bboys crash. The korean bboys were pretty much flawless.

[@wiseroks]

Japan won this match

[@CASEYROXAS]

is it me or did they pick the wrong korean bboys to verse japan ha no offense and yah Taisukes moves r pretty repetitive but hes still ill as shit

[@PhantomR32]

@kbuildinglink You must be new to this dance. The korean team had great bboys. bboying isn't all about flashy power moves and tricks.

[@Kuchibeni12]

1 - Fusik - Higher 2 - Smoove - I am man 3 - ?¿?¿?¿ anyone know the third song?!!!!! 5:12 Please!!!!!! B-boy Asian amazing.

[@redkid1224]

Yeah its obvious. If you're a beginner and only look at powers. Korea had much more creativity, originality, and overall style.

[@StaceMyuce]

If you see all his other battles you would see that he repeats these exact sets, not hating its just he needs to make new sets

[@nxorosco01]

uhm. yes japan was sickkkk, but guys.. its not all about the powermoves. style is just as important. called killin the beat.

[@jetlifearless420]

Style beats power Korea had the bigger step but japan had some sick ass power both were good but style will win if it's good :)

[@LawkSam]

And I think Korea won, judging from the ending. I was rooting for Korea too, but Japan should've won in my opinion.

[@hyunwoojung2418]

Korea > Japan, if yall say japan won, u obviously dont know that real bboying is more than just showing off power moves

[@redkid1224]

If you didnt know, style and creativity > powers in bigger league competitions. Unless your being creative WITH powers.

[@terrado7]

This might sound racist but im like two minutes into it and still have no idea who're the koreans and who're the japanese.

[@d1gps15]

@MCmediaNow well, the one Rhythm Attack can won Taisuke, I don't know whom Charaters Teams Rhythm Attack can beat Taisuke..

[@StylexSai]

I don't get the judges anymore. How the hell did Korea win that? I'm kind of shocked. Koreans are way too favored. >;(

[@bwn9001]

all the dude in the red shirt did was powermoves and all the dude that was bald did were toprocks and bottomrocks

[@PeePtheSkill614]

korea took this , if you think japan won , you should probably start doing gymnastics , and quit breakin' , lol .

[@MrExpression1000]

oh god!!:O it's official. Taisuke has lost his signature air move. it's over. he's a totally different Taisuke:(((

[@flyflyisfly]

I'm Korean, but that Japanese had nice manner when he picked up the hat a korean guy dropped while dancing. 2:58
