Japanese Crystal Ball Performer (Contact Juggling)

[@kingboo50]

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

[@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]

👍

[@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.

[@lineproivo]

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

[@brayanruiz2252]

Feel old yet?

[@damien1065]

What song is this?

[@Foundfootage806]

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

[@raymondgonzales6439]

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

[@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!

[@xsmatherx]

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

[@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?

[@EmiSanBM]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@carlotta4th]

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

[@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.. 🤡

[@supernewuser]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@dylanolsen7975]

I love his play with the crowd. great performance!

[@jesusneitor10]

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

[@TheSuperCommentGuy]

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

[@walterf724]

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

[@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.

[@Snuffsis]

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

[@Burning0Lilac]

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

[@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.

[@MikeLaczny]

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

[@director2bob]

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

[@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

[@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 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@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.

[@Dogsofracingvideo]

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

[@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

[@lonertool]

How about pictures after the show, Lumpy Tourist Lady.

[@aprilk2858]

how beautiful

[@ciaracrowder4437]

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

[@louis18th]

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

[@apcdpajpodp]

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

[@SophieChurcher]

Wow! This is so cool!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@TheTonyVuko]

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

[@cupofteam]

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

[@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.

[@sgddfgfghfgh]

I can do that with blood.

[@_mKilo]

I laughed way too hard at this.

[@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.

[@PauloHenrique-kz1cq]

Still one of the most entertained videos on the internet.

[@joshuastokes2000]

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

[@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.

[@pigsonthewing85]

what's the song??

[@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!

[@musuda21]

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

[@Clicspam]

What's the song name?

[@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?

[@homfencing]

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

[@SamChubbie]

The best clip i've watched so far

[@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 :)

[@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!

[@homfencing]

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

[@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]

Thats was so beautiful , These guy have a great talent and much charisma.

[@shaunindia]

[@framedbygabs]

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

[@SeigneurAshram]

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

[@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.

[@sp00kychin]

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

[@EpicPiano12]

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

[@TieuBaoTu]

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

[@TheStanleyHiveMind]

I'm actually impressed at how well he handled it. Seems like a really nice guy

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@thatquietasianguy9582]

This is the most fun and wholesome i ever found

[@kojrc]

People like this make the world a better place :)

[@Neurozoo]

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

[@AnAsianTimeBomb]

There's people who have more than him and think their lives are terrible. He does what he loves and does it with a smile.

[@illadelphengland90]

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

[@Rondadoreronda]

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

[@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.

[@meghanlyn9286]

I will always remember this Video it is so cool

[@xtazy1337]

Dude you blew my mind with the pendulum trick !

[@kepein]

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

[@Julianaqmoraes]

Amazing, make my day batter!! Muito bom, fez meu dia melhor!!

[@SeekGrace]

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

[@Vugen18]

i HOPE THIS GUY IS HAPPY CAUSE HE MADE ME HAPPY

[@2RSkipG]

Wonderful! The young man deserves to be paid for entertaining. Liam, the Old Guy

[@PoeticHeartCrash]

this is amazing!

[@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.
