YOYOKA Live (covers) Onyx-Senri Kawaguchi (Reaction)

[@namorlam]

She is 7 years old and already able to support professional musicians, I don't really know what to say I'm so stunned, thank you Mr old B

[@OldMrB]

Thank you, and more to come soon.

[@chrisegbertky]

There are two female Japanese drummers on the Drummer World 500 of the best Drummers ever website; Senri Kawaguchi who originated this tune and Yoyoka who at 7 played this live in a club with a band of adults. This is a window where we can glimpse the incredible skill she has to grasp a song then execute it with precision and soul. At 7. 7 years old. In the US that is a second grade student. So whatever superlatives you can come up with we all come to the place Mr. B gets to . . . speechless! Thanks Mr. B!!!

[@OldMrB]

Thank you Chris yes some times you see a little star like this and it leave you gobsmaked 👍

[@waynelynch9557]

Well said Chris.

[@中島トビオ]

Yoyoka is always powerful! And so are you!

[@OldMrB]

Thank you Yoyoka is awesome I am old lol!!

[@kathy2122]

This is one of my favorites. A little 7-year-old girl playing a jazzy little number live in a club, cool as a cucumber. Love, love, love it! Thanks, Mr. B..

[@OldMrB]

Thank you Kathy that was amazing to watch

[@KansaSCaymanS]

This has become one of my favorite videos of hers. It’s amazing how relaxed and nonchalant she is, like it’s just another night in the club. Too cool for school. 😎👍

[@OldMrB]

I think I will make her a T-Shirt that says that great line To Cool For School 👍

[@lucisuzuki1467]

Seven years old, fantastic!

[@OldMrB]

Thank you yes she sure is amazing

[@waynelynch9557]

Great commentary B enjoyed it very much.I agree she is phenomenal thanks and stay safe.

[@OldMrB]

Thank you very much Wayne what a super star Yoyoka is

[@carlalopez4820]

Thank you so much Mr. B! I hadn't seen it. 7 years old OMG! How precious & talented she is, I had a tear or two. ❣️

[@OldMrB]

Thank you Carla yes Yoyoka is amazing what a talent she is 👍

[@patjcarey]

New one for me so thank you all. She has always been at home on stage, a pure natural. Mr B thank you as always for a great reaction video, you truly reflect our feelings. Pay 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@OldMrB]

Thank you very much Pat that was amazing and only 7 years old at the time

[@Glen.Black.]

Thanks for all the reactions you on on our little wonder, and for all the respect you show her! She's actually been playing live on stage in paid gigs since she was 4. She's played hundreds of gigs in bars and clubs. She is endorsed by Pearl and visited their headquarters in Japan, where she put in a lot of time, playing all of the different snares, etc, and selected each piece one by one. She even drew the little rabbit with drumsticks that you see on her bass, and Pearl put that on the bass she selected. They even named that specific kit after her, and offer it for sale to the public. She has done videos on all of this, including when she received the kit an opened it piece by piece. She was so excited. If you want any links, I'll be glad to provide them. I don't recognize the names, but the bass player (Madon or Madoon) is her Aunt.

[@OldMrB]

Thank you very much for the info I have plans to do a reaction to a lot of her other video's at some point it's just a time thing I may be retired but I don't know where the time goes lol

[@Glen.Black.]

@@OldMrB I've been retired for 15 years, and still don't have free time. Stay busy and stay healthy. One leads to the other. She has also started doing One Girl Band Covers (Vocals (in English), with 3 harmonies, 3 Guitars, keys, and of course drums). When she does these, she films the process and does all the production herself.

[@Tom24112]

Yoyoka is amazing!!! I love everything she does and i am a fan for life!!

[@OldMrB]

Thank you, you and me both

[@jjs2351]

This even surprised me, and I thought I had seen every Yoyoka video, and I thought I couldn't be more amazed than I already was. Seven years old ? Unbelievable. Yes, Mr. B, we have run out of words to describe her. Thanks again for giving us your Yoyoka reactions (as well as others !)

[@OldMrB]

Thank you John yes I ended up gobsmacked she is amazing

[@jjs2351]

Something you said hit home with me. "I'm glad I'm around to see this". I was around to see all the great British bands when they came to the U.S. and followed countless number of musicians and enjoyed thousands of hours of listening. As I hit my 70s, I thought I had come to the end of the road as far as being excited about a new musician. You can't force that kind of excitement. When I started following Yoyoka, it was like a gift that I never expected to receive again. So I can relate to your enthusiasm. Also, a shout-out to Band-Maid and your reactions - thanks !

[@OldMrB]

@@jjs2351 Thank you very much Jim yes I am so glad to be around to see all this and it looks like the furture is in safe hands with all these Asian bands

[@douglashiggins5652]

Hello Mr.B, I don't know if you seen her do stone cold crazy the short version it's under two minutes. but it the cutest drum session I ever seen she's nine years old at the time

[@OldMrB]

Hello Douglas thank you I will check that out at some point this week

[@jimmydoho]

I always say Yoyoka as little Bonham

[@OldMrB]

Well all I know is she is amazing

[@natkinkhole779]

👍👍🤘🙏✌️

[@OldMrB]

7 years old amazing 👍

[@pappysshoes6563]

Oh my lol, if you are going to do Yoyoko covering Senri by all means please do Senri as well, she should not be missed, Kawaguchi is a beast. Kanade Sato is in the same category.

[@OldMrB]

Thank you I have reacted to Senri and I will be doing more soon

[@khairilanuarothman3869]

We've all exhausted our vocabularies where this clever little wee thing is concerned. So relieved that Mr B spoke mainly of Yoyoka the person and gave her technical prowess a wide berth: we've heard it, seen it and no further pointers necessary! 👍

[@OldMrB]

Thank you very much Yoyoka is a wonderful person

[@panterarufo1361]

Hi Mr B 👍 I like Yoyoka,she is very good! What their future will be ?

[@OldMrB]

Thank you Rufo the future is in good hands 👍🥁👍

[@paulashton9860]

First time seeing that, just like i said last night, amazing

[@OldMrB]

She is amazing and I have been chatting to KYRA and I have one of theirs done for tomorrow

[@paulashton9860]

@@OldMrB cool. Finally got through that list of Japanese new / newish bands. Must have about 30 of them. Some are ok and am more than willing to wait and give them a chance to see how they get on. Would have many more but thankfully a few of them aren't on KZbin or social media yet otherwise it could have been close to 50 bands

[@OldMrB]

@@paulashton9860 Thank you Paul I look forward to them and today I am all over instagram with bands saying thank you to me now I feel like I am getting some where with everything and the bands are great so today I am on a high

[@chrisegbertky]

@@OldMrB well deserved praise Mr. B!

[@paulashton9860]

@@OldMrB that's s great news Brandon, hopefully some of the newer bands I send you will also be in touch. I am going to check the links for the ones that need links ( don't trust my translator lol ) once done that will pass them on. Like I said I think some of the bands are ok but others may love them

[@michaelthain4488]

Great performance and to do a Senri track is great as Senri is one of my favourite drummers along with Tamu. Steady on with saying you are "knocking on a bit" as I think you must be roughly of ages with me (turned 68 this month and still feeling (fairly) young

[@OldMrB]

Thank you I was 68 in March and I have reacted to Senri but more on the way soon

[@Glen.Black.]

This is her in what I think is her first on stage performance (Age 4). With Mom (Rie) Lead Vocals, Dad (Akifumi) on Guitar, Aunt (Madoon in background) on Bass, and I don't know the musician on the left, but this is their family band. "Japanese kids "Yoyoka" (4 years old ) cover Drum / The Beatles Come Together　4歳　よよか" kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHysdKOFepmCh9E

[@OldMrB]

Thank you very much I will check that out

[@keithsowerby8179]

Still only 24 Senri is widely considered Japan’s greatest drummer. Senri was doing the Yoyoka thing at a tender age, though now plays mainly fusion and jazz funk. The same goes for 18 year old Kanade Sato - another hyper-talented Yoyoka predecessor. Senri at 16, and Kanade at 11 are playing one of the greatest ever drum duets here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqTJZHediJh_e6M

[@OldMrB]

Thank you very much for the link it is on my list and I have react to Kanade Sato and Senri before but not playing together
