The internet is in love with the idea that the guy in this suit is a pro but has fallen on hard times and been reduced to performing for kids in an animal costume. Little does the internet know that being a beast at drums while wearing a costume is this guy's entire shtick! He's Nyango Star, and he's not overqualified, he's doing exactly what you expect him to do if you hired him to perform at an event! ;)
Love Nyango Star, an apple with the spirit of a dead cat. Because of course that makes sense 🙂 Like many (official or unofficial) mascots, he's promoting his prefecture, which grow a lot of apples. The Japanese country side has a lot of elderly people and the younger generation moves to the cities, so their is a real issue. Nyango also plays the most difficult drum songs by Babymetal and X-Japan, etc. all without blinking 🙂 The name is an amalgamation of Nyan which is cat, a reference to the famous drummer Ringo Star, and ringo means apple in Japanese.
@@JohnG_YT Nyango Star is also in a band called Charametal aka Character Metal. They have one original song and the lyrics seem to be in Engrish (yes, Japanese 'English'). Better than average Engrish but also not English. Just check out the video: Funassyi PearFestival2018 CHARAMEL Concert-CHARAMEL feat. Kumamon-2018.07.16. Other suggestions: check out Nyango Star playing Babymetal Akatsuki on his official channel or Nyango Star playing in front of Yoshiki playing X-Japan's song.
Because japanese metal scene has some of the best drummers. You should watch Reizi (Dexcore) and Kanta (Deviloof) playing Dexcore's Dragout together. And then them doing same with Deviloof's Dusky Vision.
Reminds me of choir we had a jazz drummer, but he was out sick, so a student who was a metal drummer filled in and we all got laryngitis trying to sing over his drumming during rehearsal & we had to stop because he was drumming in the classroom too loud. 😂
That reminds me of one of the sillier things to happen at a rehearsal ... We weren't in our usual spot, and some people were doing some filming three floors down. Wouldn't you know it, they ended up asking us to keep it down, and we practiced a scene where we're practically shouting/singing at somebody as more a whisper but try to keep the intensity. In the end, it made for a good exercise.
"That was an aggressive roll there." I'm sitting here cracking up waiting for the reveal. Buddy, you had no idea what you were in for. The gloriously ridiculous juxtaposition of the kids song to the hardcore metal drumming technique is amazing. And I've been in suits like that before. That person is so skilled to be able to do that in that getup. LOVE IT!!
It's a common rumor but there isn't actually any proof of it. There's a video of Nyango playing Shimi with the band and you can hear Nao singing her part behind the camera. Unless of course she did this just to throw us off the trail, lol
The person in the costume doesn't want to be known. It is a cultural thing, they create the character to be its own entity and don't want their actual identity revealed.

In case you’re wondering, the song is from Anpanman. It’s a popular kids show that’s been around for decades. My wife is from Japan and both our kids watched the show growing up. Great reaction dude!
I was surprised to see a bleach reference in this comment thread. Love it tho (I'm hopeful for the upcoming anime in 2022 or 2023, now that it's officially announced)
I'm pretty sure this is the drummer to the Japanese metal band called Maximum the Hormone. She is an absolute beast. The band has some famous tracks. They even did some music for the anime Death Note.
of all the reaction videos I've seen, yours is absolutely one of the best examples of fair use. This genuinely bothers me that so many creators give such low tier effort to their posts, but you've done your job on this one
Thank you very much for this comment. Really appreciated. I try to add a bit of "me" into these videos and i try to play around with different simple edits :)
The song in question is "Anpanman's March," the theme song to a popular kids' superhero anime back in the day called "Anpanman" (roughly "Red Bean Paste Sweet Roll Man") which I remember watching as a little kid about thirty years ago. Gosh, the memories the song brings back.
The part that always makes me burst out laughing is when he finally goes full blown speed metal beat and all you hear is him smashing the shit out of the hi-hat.
I've even had some Maximum The Hormone reactions on the channel (got a copyright strike for that though...) Love that band and yeah the song "What's Up People" (the one from the DN) opening) is so much fun :D Death Note is fantastic well,especiall the first half!
The restraint at the beginning. Being in a restrictive, full costume that long is hard enough, playing drums like that isn't easy either. To do both at the same time is amazing.
I got hammered one night at a visit with old family in MS. I was drummer at time for a few FL metal , jazz fusion bands. I had just moved back home to Biloxi ...met my family aunt's and uncles at a dive bar where a country band was playing. They asked if anyone wanted to sit in. They said ...this one is a bit funky. Watch for the breaks. It was one of those poppy older disco ish country tunes I cannot remember the name but...Talk about love , or something. Reminded me of shake your booty. . Hahaha. So I started as one may expect. 16th hats open on accents beating each accent open with bass kicks then started adding drags on the hats closed here and there. Then ending each phrase with a rough or double kick to snare and splash. Anyway eventually hit the ride and hat work together ...had a blast. People were freaking out ...hahah. The dude that owned the kit original member came to get his sticks...he was pissed off. The kit , the heads were dented and the chain driven old hat stand was stripped. I offered him money but he said no. Never ever again will I touch his kit. So then oddly enough. The bassist and guitarist came and had a beer with me and we set up a little jam session months later as it turned out they loved fusion. So we had a little few months we'd get together and jam. You know the type. Anything goes just alot of fun. Hahahahah that's what this reminds me of. I believe all of us drummers have been in a situation where we just sat in and went nuts. Hahahah

You really don't know about this band?.. They're known as Mascot metal in Japan, their name is Charamel.. Their live shows are wild. They always start with childrens songs then progress into metal, their guitarist is absolutely great. And yes, they all appear on stage dressed like this.
That mascot is Nyango Star. He's a mascot helping a region in Japan that grows apple. The region eventually became a famous booming business because of him. He's like the ambassador of every apple farm in Japan now. Respect. What a legend.
Rumor has it the person in the apple cat suit is a man named Kidachi Daisuke or a woman named Nao Kawakita. The song is the Anpanman theme song. An extremely popular Japanese children’s show.
@@JohnG_YT That’s why I said rumor. There’s another rumor that the apple cat is the drummer from Japanese heavy metal band Maximum the Hormone, Nao Kawakita. I don’t know who’s behind the mask. I only know they’re awesome. Also the apple cat is the mascot for the city of Kuroishi, Aomori in northern Honshu, the Japanese main island. Nyango is a combination of the Japanese the words Nyan (like meow) and “go” is the last syllable in ringo, Japanese for apple. The cats name is, basically, Ringo Star like the Beatles drummer. 😆 I have been in Japan for way too long. 😆
The character that you see here is Nyango Starr. He is a mascot for a small town in Japan. Unfortunately, I forget the drummers name. I remember reading somewhere that they actually played drums for Baby Metal.
I just turned 67. I swear this is only the third time in my life I laughed so hard I cried. I needed a dozen kleenex after just to clear my sinuses. It's the most unexpected thing I've seen in years and I absolutely loved it.
Drummer experiencing an existencial crisis due to a very metal drummer gal/guy being able to blast those beats all the way to heaven in a mascot suit XD
This is Nyango Star. It’s a cat spirit inhabiting an apple. It’s the mascot for an area of Japan that grows apples. Star travels all over Japan and plays concerts, always in costume. The drummer actually has a fan base and makes his/her living doing the concerts and selling merch.
That figure thst played the drums is nyango star. this figure is known for its... well metal drumming. Many japanese people love nyango star. Nyango stsr is quite literally a japanese star.
WHAT IS THAT THING?!? Okay, let's break down the name, Nyango Star, and where it's from. Nyan - Japanese for 'meow' because it's a cat character ringo - Japanese for apple, because it's a cat-apple (don't question it... it's Japan being Japan.) Ringo... ringo... sounds familiar. Oh, look, it's Nyango Star. Let's slap another r on there, Nyango Starr. like... Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles (who are still loved here in Japan.) Combine the two into Nyango, which basically translates to Meowple. The mascot is from Aomori prefecture, the northernmost prefecture on the main island of Honshu. Hokkaido is just across the Japanese channel. The area is known for its apple orchards. It's a mainly agricultural area, and also known as one of the poorest areas of Japan. Major problems with keeping the youngsters in the area, as they all move to Tokyo/Osaka to find jobs and careers. So, here's what I know about Nyango Starr. The identity of the drummer is unknown, they only appear in costume, and destroy the drums at all times. The character has actually increased awareness of Aomori, and tourism to that area has increased since they started this schtick. It's been successful, and it's helped the area a bit. Regardless, the fact that the person in there is moving with that speed and accuracy inside of a bulky costume is AMAZING, and I wonder who is really inside there. Is it some world-class drummer, or some regular Aomori native who also should be on stage with internationally famous groups. Imagine what they could do WITHOUT the restrictions of that outfit!
Damn,that is some deep lore right here,haha! Thank you so much for this. If Nyango can bring more awareness to an area that is *not doing as well, as the rest of the country*,then i say hell yeah!
Recent tribute to Ringo did not realize how massive talent he was. Part of it is he stayed totally in control and backed the rest of the bands playing. One comment between him and a metronome he would be more accurate, As born 62 heard the Beatles later stuff come out than his solo work panned by my mother who later I have learned often very wrong on this stuff. Still remember as a kid at Disney World Mom that a fake steam train. Nope Mon Disney actually found three real ones in Mexico scrap yard fixed them up and that what they use. (Although the do not burn coal instead a liquid fuel now but when the Engines were new they burned coal or wood)
The beauty of this video is A: the fake out for the first minute where he's playing all chill and composed, and B: the fact that you're staring at that goofy blank-stared, wide eyed cartoon cat face the whole time he's playing.
Also check out my first reaction to EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO! ua-cam.com/video/ZKp6NddR4HM/v-deo.html 🔥🔥🔥
I heard the one inside that suit is a part of "Maximum The Hormone" band or whatever it's called...
There is no man or woman inside that suit. There is only the pure, unholy spirit of metal
Well said,lol!
It's actually a dude dressed as a cat spirit that's inhabiting an apple.
@@Twenty-Seven eh i think he's mango cat since his name was nyango ?
@@faizalherdin7794 The 'nyan' part is from the onomatopoeia for a Japanese meow which is 'nyan'. And the 'go' part is from 'ringo' which means apple.

That actually makes a ton of sense once you think about it because he would have to have practiced pretty extensively in the suit to pull that off.

That's why I said it. I have enough respect for myself to know what I'm talking about before just saying something completely incorrect. Your wrong. Just admit it, or don't reply. 😉
@@ozargaman6148 you asked me a question, then made a statement, without knowing the answer? LMFFFAAAOOO no, they're not... That's the answer. 👍🤦♂️😂
I'Ve seen this vid before. When I saw a drummer was reacting, I had to see your face. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!, OMG< when your hat came off I thought there was gonna be like a full exorcist 360, LOL
Dude your response to this was amazing because it is exactly how I reacted haha
Thanks! :)
You really don't know about this band?.. They're known as Mascot metal in Japan, their name is Charamel.. Their live shows are wild. They always start with childrens songs then progress into metal, their guitarist is absolutely great. And yes, they all appear on stage dressed like this.
Lmfao I literally just saw this for the first time today, I can die in peace now 😂😂
The single funniest thing with it - she always stays in tempo!
i always suspend my disbelief when i see nyango star. for a brief moment it’s just metal magical :D
His pride destroyed immediately and became a fan 🤣
Nyango Star is also in a mascot character band called CHARAMEL (character metal).
The fire inside that suit might have been the driving force behind this epic tale.
That mascot is Nyango Star. He's a mascot helping a region in Japan that grows apple. The region eventually became a famous booming business because of him. He's like the ambassador of every apple farm in Japan now. Respect. What a legend.
Haha.. that's funny.
Haha, this is nice :)
Rumor has it the person in the apple cat suit is a man named Kidachi Daisuke or a woman named Nao Kawakita.
The song is the Anpanman theme song. An extremely popular Japanese children’s show.
I think i like not knowing who is inside that suit better! Not enough fun mysteries these days :) But thank you for the information!

That’s why I said rumor. There’s another rumor that the apple cat is the drummer from Japanese heavy metal band Maximum the Hormone, Nao Kawakita. I don’t know who’s behind the mask. I only know they’re awesome. Also the apple cat is the mascot for the city of Kuroishi, Aomori in northern Honshu, the Japanese main island. Nyango is a combination of the Japanese the words Nyan (like meow) and “go” is the last syllable in ringo, Japanese for apple. The cats name is, basically, Ringo Star like the Beatles drummer. 😆 I have been in Japan for way too long. 😆
It's the first time I watch a drum session 20 times in a row marvelous good work great talent actual musical content
I kinda dig the instructor......
You're not alone
The character that you see here is Nyango Starr. He is a mascot for a small town in Japan. Unfortunately, I forget the drummers name. I remember reading somewhere that they actually played drums for Baby Metal.
I just turned 67. I swear this is only the third time in my life I laughed so hard I cried. I needed a dozen kleenex after just to clear my sinuses. It's the most unexpected thing I've seen in years and I absolutely loved it.
„Why’d you bring extra drumsticks? It’s only a kids song, what could go wrong?“
„Umm… yes.“
Drummer experiencing an existencial crisis due to a very metal drummer gal/guy being able to blast those beats all the way to heaven in a mascot suit XD
This is Nyango Star. It’s a cat spirit inhabiting an apple. It’s the mascot for an area of Japan that grows apples. Star travels all over Japan and plays concerts, always in costume. The drummer actually has a fan base and makes his/her living doing the concerts and selling merch.
2:45 bro went double pedal
little feet go BRRRRRRRRRR
@@JohnG_YT real 🔥
"That was one agressive drum roll there"
I thought to myself: You've got no idea what's coming XD
3:10 astroboy style... 👍
I never tire of this video. Never ever. 😂😂
That video is so dam good. I watch it when I need a pick-me-up.
I busted up JUST LIKE that when he transitioned to the blast beats!
"I always wonder what I did wrong, turns out I'm not wearing a costume."
I mean, it worked for GWAR.
That figure thst played the drums is nyango star. this figure is known for its... well metal drumming. Many japanese people love nyango star. Nyango stsr is quite literally a japanese star.
It's not a Suit. It's a containment vessel for the souls of the damned.
Nyango Star is anonymous, but the best guess I've seen is that Nao Kawakita, a great woman metal drummer, is in the costume
Nyango star. A deceased cat spirit trapped in an apple.
The costume also serves as a power limitation device!
WHAT IS THAT THING?!?
Okay, let's break down the name, Nyango Star, and where it's from.
Nyan - Japanese for 'meow' because it's a cat character
ringo - Japanese for apple, because it's a cat-apple (don't question it... it's Japan being Japan.)
Ringo... ringo... sounds familiar. Oh, look, it's Nyango Star. Let's slap another r on there, Nyango Starr. like... Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles (who are still loved here in Japan.)
Combine the two into Nyango, which basically translates to Meowple.
The mascot is from Aomori prefecture, the northernmost prefecture on the main island of Honshu. Hokkaido is just across the Japanese channel. The area is known for its apple orchards. It's a mainly agricultural area, and also known as one of the poorest areas of Japan. Major problems with keeping the youngsters in the area, as they all move to Tokyo/Osaka to find jobs and careers.
So, here's what I know about Nyango Starr. The identity of the drummer is unknown, they only appear in costume, and destroy the drums at all times. The character has actually increased awareness of Aomori, and tourism to that area has increased since they started this schtick. It's been successful, and it's helped the area a bit.
Regardless, the fact that the person in there is moving with that speed and accuracy inside of a bulky costume is AMAZING, and I wonder who is really inside there. Is it some world-class drummer, or some regular Aomori native who also should be on stage with internationally famous groups. Imagine what they could do WITHOUT the restrictions of that outfit!
Damn,that is some deep lore right here,haha! Thank you so much for this. If Nyango can bring more awareness to an area that is *not doing as well, as the rest of the country*,then i say hell yeah!
Recent tribute to Ringo did not realize how massive talent he was. Part of it is he stayed totally in control and backed the rest of the bands playing. One comment between him and a metronome he would be more accurate,
As born 62 heard the Beatles later stuff come out than his solo work panned by my mother who later I have learned often very wrong on this stuff.
Still remember as a kid at Disney World Mom that a fake steam train. Nope Mon Disney actually found three real ones in Mexico scrap yard fixed them up and that what they use. (Although the do not burn coal instead a liquid fuel now but when the Engines were new they burned coal or wood)
The beauty of this video is A: the fake out for the first minute where he's playing all chill and composed, and B: the fact that you're staring at that goofy blank-stared, wide eyed cartoon cat face the whole time he's playing.
That costume is just his limiter so the drum not get destroyed
That video never gets old.
