Mind boggling! Rock never died it just moved to Japan! These musicians are gifts to the world❤
Thank you Wave! Great reaction as always!

YOYOKA said that "Burn" is her "Warm Up" song now...lol

These kids don't waste their time playing games for sure.  They spend their time playing music.

Yoyoka starting next gen NAON no YAON

This is just amazing !!!!!! Yoyoka will always put the best out there for us. The singer in this video is Leia Kato, who collaborated with Yoyoka and a great early teen group of musicians 4 years ago in a great cover of Janis Joplin's great "Move Over". The quality of the musicianship is just stellar. You never get tried of Yoyoka's excellence and passion.

Wave, have you ever reacted to Yoyoka's original composition of "Changes", an excellent jazz piece ? She collaborated with an astounding young pianist named Ai Furusato, who was 11 or 12 when  that song came out about a year or so ago. Ai is the youngest to ever get a full-ride scholarship at the prestigious Berklee School of Musixc in Boston. She also has a number of her own compositions on her channel. She spectacular in how she attacks the keys. You should react to some of her songs.

I follow Yoyoka and countless Japanese bands.  My jaw just hit the floor the first time I watched this, and then at the NaonのYaon 2025 concert.  Seriously, Rock/Metal will be alive and well many decades after my demise.  Is there a single mediocre musician in Japan?  It is becoming embarrassing to the rest of the world.

In addition to knocking me out with her play, that bass player had the best stage presence and energy imaginable!  They all killed it; love the differences in personalities -- they all shine!

Yoyoka, older guitarist and the singer along with a now sadly deceased bass player did a Janis Joplin cover a few years back. Move Over I think.   Tese young musicians just go for it. They are well rehearsed individually and collectively. What is great is that they have mentors who give them real opportunities to play together. Kids Rock for Kids in the US.

Thank you Wave for introducing us once again to YOYOKA and a group of very talented young musicians who perform a solid interpretation of Deep Purple's "Burn". YOYOKA, she is still incredible one day she is on stage with Tom Morello (RATM) and Alex Lifeson (RUSH), another day she is invited to play a song in a club with Andy Vargas and Benny Rietveld (SANTANA), WOW and this in addition to the other countless collaborations. It is extraordinary.

Nene, at 6yo, took a slap lesson with Koga and had a session with GS together with her brother :)

Absolutely amazing ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks Wave  - the kids in Japan and the kids in the US, Yoyoka  - the kids are alright

That was such a joy to watch.

SOLID!  Not many musicians in the world (like only a small handful), that at 15 y.o. can support younger musicians...lol  YOYOKA is a full fledged member of 4 bands on top of all the other bands, like this, that she just forms at will, or sits in with, at least half dozen times a month...lol   The only time YOYOKA doesn't sneak off stage at the end of the song is when she is the MC and has to speak at the end...lol  I was almost 30 before I was comfortable speaking in front of a group of people.  YOYOKA had that mastered at 6-8 y.o..  Such a wonderful young lady!

Absolutely Great !

I can't breathe  ..  I am still flashing back to my Deep Purple worship days. My god Zeus, what a band  ..  kids, for cripes sake. Thanks for the vid. I am a fan now. Amazing.

That was frk'n cool! 👍😎

I'd have thought you'd have smoothed out all the bumps prior to posting this reaction Wave,  which is something you accomplished with your first reaction to Undying Words months ago as it was riddled with glitches when you reacted to it on Twitch, though by the time you posted it on your main channel, you'd smoothed out all those aforementioned glitches✌️♥️🤘🇦🇺

The expression on your face Say's it all ! Damn ! Hahaha ,
