Japanese Crystal Ball Performer (Contact Juggling)

[@kingboo50]

My fav part is to see that he's happy and smiling when he does it.

[@selfactualizer2099]

[@djfunkychicken]

Imagine if someone started crying next to him.. he could catch every teardrop and gently let it down to the ground

[@theobamaz]

djfunkychicken Could he? Nice

[@apriswajaya]

+djfunkychicken hahahaha good one, that made my day

[@Juggler1525]

This video is just beautiful all around. Because, while Okutampe has his own channel, this video wasn't made to promote him or his channel. This is him creating visual art in the park for all to enjoy. Most juggling like this is thought up on the spot and the music only escalates it. His showmanship, the crowd participants, and most of all the video quality it's just phenomenal. This person's camera truly recorded a beautiful moment many would have missed out on.

[@glennharvey1472]

Wow, well said.

[@jachidelbueno]

👍

[@LoopyRaara]

This is nostalgic to look back upon! I found this video years ago when I became interested in contact juggling after watching Labyrinth (contact juggling was prominent in the movie) as it is my favourite movie of all time. Love watching this again, thank you for keeping this video on the internet!

[@aliazimi6066]

12 years later.. I still come back to this video from time to time… Asmr before the hype

[@nicholasaiken3716]

i will always love this, it has relaxed me for years

[@rotseken]

Same here.

[@Fluffcze]

It has been already 6 years, since I first saw this video. This guy can still create a smile on my face and calm my soul :)

[@Vugen18]

#metoo

[@MrEightons]

Idem

[@arteblack13]

Quite relaxing. Ironically, it takes thousands of hours practice and hundreds of thousands of drops to be that masterful.

[@ekunji]

Its really amazing! Thanks for upload it on KZbin!

What song is this?

[@Foundfootage806]

Sup im late saw this video in 2009 great times now its just 2022

[@lineproivo]

2020 and I'm still watching this video to relax. It spreads happiness.

[@brayanruiz2252]

Feel old yet?

[@Bikavin]

@@brayanruiz2252 yeah,now its 2022

[@xsmatherx]

Aside from being very talented, he seems like a very warm, lovely person! :). I hope he gets plenty of recognition for his talents.

[@raymondgonzales6439]

I remember this video from such a long time ago. Nostalgia

[@bournemouthlass]

This is the guy I aspire to. I've only just started my contact juggling journey but I watch this video to be inspired and amazed.

[@burpie3258]

Hey! Did you end up continuing contact juggling?

[@MurrayHerts]

After watching this I bought some balls to learn, this shiznit is hard, he makes it look so easy and fluid.

[@succboiithe1st565]

hows it going?

[@megankeily4858]

Little circles on your palm and relaxing your hands is the key to fluidity

[@grenolf]

It is one of the most challenging and advanced forms of juggling to master... Much more creative than toss juggling and more interesting towatch and perform in my opinion.. I am partial to contact juggling as my favorite although I also toss juggle and push juggle with 3 balls.. I also really love spinning plates..it's a blasty blast.. 🤡

[@disjointedproductionsllc1225]

I watch this video when I'm feeling down or unmotivated. I try to watch other contact juggling videos but I keep coming back to this one. I love how simple and pure it is, just a single shot that focuses on the performer. Every other video I see isn't about the performer but the video guy's new dslr and his super neat editing style >

[@eff1gy_burns889]

Same. His showmanship always inspires me

[@walterf724]

I love this video. Randomly popped back into my memory. Watched this over a decade ago.

[@EmiSanBM]

I love how happy he looks. He obviously loves what he does and it shows through his smile and amazing skills.

[@carlotta4th]

I love Contact juggling. I especially liked how this guy was smiling in the performance and involving his audience--clever, and very fun.

[@supernewuser]

This is magical. I can't even imagine how many hours he's put into honing that skill. Very impressive.

[@Burning0Lilac]

i love how graceful he is whn the lady just walks into his act xD hes like : : D whateva! take eet!

[@PandoraChaser2]

Without doubt, he is one of the most skilled contact jugglers in the world and makes it effortless with his humour to boot. Such a pleasure to revisit this incredible performance, time after time. It is pure magic.

[@ammanuels3464]

The song, the choreography, the musicality, his energy. This is truly the best contact juggling performance ever recorded to this day over a decade later

[@dylanolsen7975]

I love his play with the crowd. great performance!

[@TheSuperCommentGuy]

He made all that rolling on his arm look effortless, that was amazing!

[@jesusneitor10]

he looks so in his element when he´s juggling, wow, I´d love to feel like that, also he was amazing

[@phar314]

Came back to this video after almost ten years. It brings back lots of memories. I used to watch it to keep me focus when I did my assignment when I was studying a degree at university.

[@mario64onstarcraft]

I remember watching this video over 8 years ago and there have been many contact juggling videos made since then, but this one is my favourite still

[@ryohamaru2272]

Yoshie Nakano - Soleil

[@Snuffsis]

The way he performs along with the music almost makes it seem magical. Loving it!

[@Mellowspark1]

I never thought it was possible for a guy to be able to contact juggle balls better than my ex wife.. until I saw this video that is.

[@canihavealongnamepleasebos4507]

Hahahha

[@nejihyuga8094]

Talavera jr what was the point of saying that? you dick

[@director2bob]

I am loving this. Not sure how I stumbled on this video but I am going to learn this art form. Awesome.

[@laurenmullis5081]

I've been contact juggling for three years and this guy still never ceases to amaze me! Even though I can dissect every one of these tricks ad perform most of them, I'm still mesmerized every time I watch his videos.

[@deadapostle]

I love how he handled the woman who got in the middle of his scene. She was an idiot, but he wasn't ruffled. He treated her well, gave her a little moment, and got her out of there without being harsh.

[@selfactualizer2099]

You think maybe he just didn't care? Some people just genuinely don't get annoyed that easily.

[@diablofdb]

that's unfair, I got arrested when I was playing with my balls in public

[@SpyderBlackOfficial]

Yours must of not been made from crystal

[@ashdotjpeg]

I legit laughed at this

[@kennethsaesthetic283]

Why

[@kennethsaesthetic283]

Ohhhh I get it now

[@kennethsaesthetic283]

Sukhi Rai 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RTLthings]

When that woman gets in his way, he gives her the ball as if to say: "Leave the tricks to me bitch and get out of my way" but in a polite and subtle way

[@Dogsofracingvideo]

7 years later, and I'm still mesmerized by this...

[@MikeLaczny]

I showed this to my mum and blew her mind. It still blows my mind. Always will. So FNG amazing

[@lonertool]

How about pictures after the show, Lumpy Tourist Lady.

[@apcdpajpodp]

could easily be aang the last airbender playing with an air ball

[@aprilk2858]

how beautiful

[@SeekGrace]

Damn, I was a kid in highschool when I watched this back then.

[@getskill3270]

I Just found about this only 11 years after the video

[@getskill3270]

Im back

[@MrBriancastator]

That lady was weird though....just moving into the middle of his performance..... obviously wanted a picture or something.....

[@MemeRaider]

I think she is a Karen before Karens even existed

[@SophieChurcher]

Wow! This is so cool!

[@1digitalwatcher]

This song is hard to get out of your head even though its Japanese.

[@kartikmann_]

What's the name of the song? Sounded kinda nice

[@trekkann]

@@kartikmann_ Yoshie Nakano - Soleil

[@louis18th]

street performance like this can always makes me feel the world is still beautiful

[@RyanMaloner]

Just want to thank you for doing what you do on such a magical level and sharing it with the world. You inspire me and many others I'm sure. Thank you!

[@sgddfgfghfgh]

4:22 a wild pokemon appears

[@t3kil4t3x]

it's a very skillful guy, the old white woman don't respect his art and only want to appear in the camera of her friend. Very selfishness attitude that you can see more and more in a society of consumers.

[@SBU2012]

Sport: Contact Juggling Location: Japan Skill Level: Asian

[@theadorabletk]

It was so cute how he included the audience in his performance. Like the guy he asked for 'help'. Or the lady who accidentally walked on stage. Real adorable.

[@moonabys]

...and i posted it on FB almost a year ago and i did it again :-) i just love this video som uch.it is really the hhole package together.the guy,the song and his skill.

[@joshuastokes2000]

Old link doesn't work. Link to the song. Thank me later kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGPRqIp6pNesmrM

[@TheBlackOpticFTW]

At first I was like "meh". Then I was like "O_o".

[@KraftLawrence1]

Waitaminnit... that's not David Bowie....

[@MyITRcom]

Actually it was Michael Mochen's hands that did this in the movie Labyrinth, he is the originator of this art form.

[@ciaracrowder4437]

when I am sad I watch him...and I feel happy...hes so calming!

[@SamChubbie]

The best clip i've watched so far

[@LuzidFlows]

Wow, he is really talented. Good job on the updates to the video. Now, have you given him any of the ad revenue that you've collected from this video?

[@Clicspam]

What's the song name?

[@pigsonthewing85]

what's the song??

[@cupofteam]

It astounds me that anyone could dislike this video. This is just a beautiful amount of skill and dexterity

[@z.i.z]

Yoyogi park is definitely an interesting place! You can spot so many talented performers like this guy there. Thank you for posting the music info! I love them too :)

[@vladimirthecrimsonreaper4898]

I can do that with blood.

[@ToxXxiN13]

i lol'd

[@_mKilo]

I laughed way too hard at this.

[@FoxGhost7]

I just saw him yesterday live. Amazing, and he did quite a bit of other stuff with rings and such, which was completely mesmerizing and unbelievable. Music was live by Koji Matsumoto and Reo Matsumoto. The mixture was nothing short of pure magic.

[@SilkySkillsUnited]

I love that some people have the patience and passion to do things like this and bring a little bit of magic into others lives.

[@lilschrager]

That was amazing, and this guy has a very awesome attitude that seems to emanate from him and I feel contributes a lot to his performance!

[@TheTonyVuko]

This is so gorgeous! I hope this man is still doing this :)!

[@XxRagingStormxX]

"while mediocrity only acknowledges itself, talent recognizes genius." anyone ever hear this quote? It means those of you that have worked hard to accomplish stuff in your life realize what this guy has devoted to this art called contact juggling. Those who haven't cant see that this guy is any more talented than themselves. please don't hate something just because you cant do it yourself. Why do i respect this guy? I have learned how to juggle AND contact juggle and recognize this as skill.

[@musuda21]

What a great magical performance!　I have hope that I want to come Inokashira-park him as a special performer.

[@vinechen1982]

so good. you know the crystal ball is reflecting the sky,the tree kinds of the beautiful things.it seems to every thing hold on this hand.

[@homfencing]

Smooth smooth smoooooooth! What a display of talent, control and showmanship!

[@AlternativeRobbie]

Don't you LOVE watching someone do something as you can tell they love to do it? You can see this guys having fun doing a hobby he loves.

[@judheadjor]

I love this guy! best contact juggler ever!

[@Rondadoreronda]

Amazing performance!! It looks as if there was no gravity aournd him! Thank you for your nice video.

[@homfencing]

Been awhile since I saw this vid....I'd forgotten how smooooooth this guy is. Fantastic control!

[@MiTsuRiN09]

He's reli enjoying it XD he's doin it with passion..those who're watching will enjoy it too =)

[@azariahchalone6751]

Still to this day I haven't seen anyone as fluid as him 😍

[@PauloHenrique-kz1cq]

Still one of the most entertained videos on the internet.

[@shaunindia]

nice of you to update the information. you da man

[@mop8996]

パフォーマンスまさることながら、なんて素敵な歌なんだろう！素晴らしいですね

[@てん2-k7f]

ソレイユ　でしたっけ？

[@TheG1RTH]

I did one time! He has a website, I found it pretty easily. He replied almost the next day, and even sent me a picture. Okotanpe is my hero, and I hope that when I grow up, I can be just like him.

[@gabrielle_salonga]

For some reason, this puts a big smile on my face.

[@mark6302]

that guy radiates chill

[@AkaneKiryu]

He handled the interruption of that woman like a true street performer and gentleman. His routine and skill is amazing, I've never seen anyone this good and I belong in the CJ community. I hope to catch him in Tokyo when I go visit!

[@kepein]

Wow, rotseken really did alot of research for the viewers, thanks for that!

[@illadelphengland90]

Amazing video ,this guy is the best I've seen

[@VitorSilvaPt]

3.3 million+ people would´ve loved to be there watching this, and yet so many just passed by without even looking at this great artist. Oh what an odd world we live in.

[@JohannEthDiablerie]

This guy and Kelvin Kalvus got me into contact juggling a few years ago. Give it a go, great fun and I only gave myself one black eye in the process.

[@걀-q7o]

10년이 넘어서 다시 봐도 행복해지는 영상

[@TieuBaoTu]

.....i love this stuff already!!!

[@Tinkerbird]

this made me smile the whole time I was watching. =)

[@MightyFooliery]

that was the best contact juggling performance ive seen.

[@Neurozoo]

I saw this guy back in 2005 at a Yoyogi Park outdoor rave.. Knew it was him right away, perfect contact juggler!

[@sp00kychin]

Never seen such an elaborate description on a youtube video before this one. Great job mr. poster! :)

[@DevTahanguriya]

He just made it look sooo easy. I am a juggler myself and trust me it's not so easy. Hats off to this guy!

[@homfencing]

3:10-3:14....perfectly suited to the music....great choreography.

[@mart3h]

Whoa! This guy was in my city (Perth) not long ago! haha, he's amazing

[@EpicPiano12]

That is too cool! He seems like he would be a cool person to hang out with. :)

[@SeigneurAshram]

I need a moment ... That was way too amazing !

[@TheXnyu]

i come back from time to time just to enjoy the moment. the music starting at 1:44 is my alltimefavorite, usualy i listen to music i like way to much so after some time i dont like these songs anymore, thats why i only listen to this song once or twice a year. hopefully i still can enjoy the song in the future years.

[@MrLloydtheman]

Till this day I can't find the music on youtube

[@MrLloydtheman]

Ure not alone. From time to time I will come here for this song

[@MrLloydtheman]

I just read comment and found out. Title soleil by yoshie nakano

[@stiltzkin2mb]

Omg thanks!

[@RoberJungEdel]

This is Okotanpe this Video inspired me to let me start with contactjuggling and I Love it. :)
