What I like most is that you are working with the people you want to work with and making the music you want to make. There is no filter or control over your music from outside forces. It’s all you. And you can be very proud of that.

[@squanto2]

MUSIC! Actual MUSICAL MUSIC performed by super talented people. There is nothing better.

[@MayaNeelakantan]

This is awesome! I love this! Congratulations Yoyoka! 😃

[@namorlam]

Good evening Maya, do you think you will create an original song with Yoyoka one day?

[@stephenmartin6733]

Realize that before she was duplicating from songs that now she is actually developing her own style!

[@michaelciancetta6397]

There is no style here.. this is horryble and tasteless

[@magnushallin3640]

I have thought about that as well - the only time I recognized a borrowed lick in her own music is, of course, the Bonham Bd triplets (if it counts) and the ending of her drum solo when she was 8 tears old at TGC2018 (at 1:00) that ending is borrowed from "Smokey" by Char kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHanmp2cibmHhtEsi=uODpM0uyKTxjYqL-&t=57

I can’t wait, Yoyoka’s album is going to be full of awesome eclectic music. 🐰🥁🐰🥁🐰

[@Danster126]

Great performance! YT is solid and Marco’s melodic fills are great and YOYOKA made it all look so easy. So when does this band’s world tour start?! Thank you all for the time and effort that was put into this!

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Been buying the singles on iTunes! Can’t wait for the whole album . . . 😎👍

[@leggomyeigonosensei]

This is great. Reminds me of the 1990s fusion greats, like Larry Carlton, Fourplay, Al Dimeola, Larry Coryell, and of course Satriani.

[@toneman501]

That's one ass kickin' Rock song... ...although it is rare for instrumentals to achieve chart success...( ...but not impossible )

[@ooranji3255]

Awsome performance Yoyoka! That dream you talked about over 2 years ago is now slowly becoming a reality!😎💪Godspeed!!😁😁

[@drewmiller3462]

Young Ms. Yoyoka, you grew up too fast for most of your KZbin followers, but you grew into someone we like. I particularly love Progressive and you hit that one on the head. I love it.

[@chumbels]

Brilliant !!!!! Mr. Engineer... scooping mids too much. Not en ough room mic... makes little pancake blips. Yoyr pribalky listening to playback on big speakers. Dont.. oh well . Next time... . Still. Brilliant

[@andrewplumb6544]

Well that was packed full protein. What a trio. Three great musicians starting with a measure or three of melodie and finishing with as good as it gets. Didn't all the great bands do that?

[@semprini77]

Yoyoka is getting much more comfortable on camera - her natural charisma is shining through. No mugging for the camera, no flashy outfits, just style and chops. Cool tune too!

[@Rob-Yule]

YOYOKA has been on camera for most of her life, many interviews in Japan, all the VLOGs since moving to the US, where her dad Aki is following and filming her wherever she goes. She is now very comfortable in English, conducting interviews, live streams. It all starts with her parents who have always treated her as an equal, as have her parents friends and pretty much every musician she has encountered. She does not like attention or adulation yet is not uncomfortable in interviews. It’s a weird thing.

[@semprini77]

@@Rob-Yule We’ve watched her go from the goofy little girl to the slightly uncomfortable “tweener”. It’s just recently that I feel she is discovering her “public” personality, a glimpse of how she will present herself as a performer going forward. It feels a bit new, to me anyway.

[@jackk8093]

She is maturing. As people when we get older we become more mature and less childish, usually:) She is going from goofiness, to being a serious player. I feel like one day we will see her in her 30’s and she will have the perfect blend of seriousness, goofiness, and humbling in both personality and drumming. I should say musician because she does play several instruments. Such talent and dedication she has.

[@greggr1591]

Yet another example of Yoyoka playing multiple time signatures and styles expertly with some heavy hitters (Marco! YT's pretty good, too :) This power trio should do an album! Thanks for the early access! 🥁👏🏻

[@785uli]

Jeff Beck would be proud 🎸🎸🥁😎🙏

[@mikegargano1015]

So solid and TIGHT! Great piece, thanks to you all. Yoyoka you are a shining star❤

[@Rob-Yule]

Wow oh wow! Very Sparklingesque! Everyone on fire.

[@davecasper4792]

Soon we'll see covers of Yoyoka's music by others. Wow.

[@denniseldridge2936]

OK, so every song I've heard for this album has been an absolute winner, but this may the the crowning achievement. This recalls the best of 1970s prog rock/jazz - in other words, absolutely brilliant stuff. The tapping was outstanding in this one. Awesome!

[@markdecker6190]

Funny you should say that because I was thinking about the Jan Akkerman band Live in Tokyo album!

[@michaelciancetta6397]

They are just 50 years late😂.. how to ruin a young talent

[@SilverPaladin]

Yoyoka is blending the best of Japanese and Western metal! So amazing!

[@uwrugbybale]

I can hear some Sparkling in this one too.

[@osterizeme]

Your precision and power have us on the edge of our seats. Wow!

[@magnushallin3640]

They are as free as in a classical music piece with changing time signatures and accents and a very melodic counter point - but always with a director in world class that drives the narrative throughout the song. I find new layers for every play through

[@yasuhirogata]

すげぇーーーーーーーっ！！！！！！！！！！！！！！って声出ちゃったw YOYOKAちゃんとYTさんが組むと、やっぱりとんでもなくカッコいい曲ができるんですねー！！

[@wayne7725]

I believe this may be my favorite so far .❤

[@melmel075]

This song is amazing and your performance of it Sunday was spellbinding. It was so cool attending your concert with a livestream ticket 🙌🤩😎

[@namorlam]

Yoyoka in great shape, high level musicians which gives us a wonderful song which is good for the soul.

[@davecasper4792]

Sky Blue, perfect name for this song.

[@skabibble]

I like it. Feels a little like progressive 80's jazz at times before the thud.. hits in at its parts. Please keep making music Yoyoka💛

[@jimmyholloway8527]

Very glad you included Mr. Mendoza in the credits. At one point, due to a particulat camera angle, I thought it was Derek Smalls. Which would be cool. Right up to when Yoyoka blew up! ;)

[@tarmaque]

The classic and influential Derek Smalls. Almost as great as the legendary John Entwistle.

[@johnmatthew102]

Jazz fusion at it's best. Sounds great!

[@KevinCowden-ow5to]

Sky blue whispers to the day, A canvas soft where dreams can play. It holds the sun, the clouds, the air, A hue of peace, beyond compare.

"Good sons, habituated discursive thought arises from the conditioned mind. The six data-fields, false conceptualization and conditioned energies are not the true Mind essence- indeed, they are like sky-flowers. But using discursive thought to discern the Buddha-state is like the sky-flowers further producing 'sky-fruits.' Circular false thoughts are useless here." - Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment

[@Aclimade]

A comment about Graham Kerr. What I learned from him was how to love the hell out of cooking for others. Do I see a connection between Graham Ker and Yoyoka? Oh, ya.

Yoyoka, you are the beat master, for sure!! Love you........❤❤

[@langadubazana]

One of maybe 5 (10 max) where you see YOYOKA actually twirl “her sticks. This one off my favorite things about YOYOKA, zero wasted effort on things that add nothing to the music!

'Sky Blue' is a indicative evolution of King Crimson-esk complexity ~ but instead of Bill Bruford doing the beat keeping ~ Yoyoka Soma has taking ovah :)

始めはイヤホンで聞いていましたが昨日からオーデイオシステムに切り替えて聴き込んでいますが全く印象が変わりました。YTさんのギターはスパークリング同様現代的なプログレ風ですが Yoyoka さん のドラムスが余りにもヘビーなのでヘビーメタルになっている？まあいいや何でもカッコイイ音楽は理屈抜きでカッコイイ一言で十分！

[@gillesrenaud6926]

It's excellent but in my opinion, it would be really great to have another video focusing just on Yoyoka's performance, with no cuts in her music so in real time and with the sound of the others instruments less loud. In this video, the guitar and base are way too loud compared to the drum. You don't think so guys?
