I don't know if Junna is the best drummer in the world, but it doesn't matter, I love to see her playing. She is so one with the music and her instrument. Since I "discovered" her, every day has been a good day!
@@svogender There are many amazing drummers out there and Junna has a lot of skill, but plays a lot of straightforward drums. They are driving and fitting and yes I enjoy listen to her songs a lot, but nevertheless on the complex scale she hits very low. Wouldn't surprise me if she gets to the level of somebody like Danny Carey at some point in her life, but that is still a long way.
Been drumming for almost 50 years and Junna is one of the most inspirational drummers I've ever seen! Her facial expressions and mannerisms are choreographed like a dance and add a whole other layer. I came up with using heel on hi-hat pedal back when I was in highschool (late '7os as well) because I was already playing heel/toe on the kick pedals and it was just a natural shift (and comes in real handy when using many pedals in an electronic setup as I do today). Never actually seen anyone else do that so kudos there! The power that comes out of such a little dynamo is astounding! Japanese must have secretly mastered fusion reaction and she is the result!
Been watching a lot of Junna's videos, this is an incredible song and performance, she so inspiring! She has it and it's a pleasure to see her grow into the powerhouse she's becoming! Simply incredible!
Hands down thee drum god . only due to the uncontainable passion and rage she has while she shows the rest of the planet how to play the correct way. Hats off to you junna. With love and much respect
You are an absolute ROCK STAR! Hands down the best female drummer in the world. I wish you made more videos I can’t get enough. And to top it off you’re a SMOKE SHOW, that means gorgeous to look at. Can’t wait for the next video.
There is still hope for the future I'm so happy there arestill people that have passion for music where I'm from its rare this girl is going to be a super star I don't even know her and I'm proud amazing kiddo keep fallowing your dream you inspire the rest of us to keep playing
Junna is dangerously talented, absolutely amazing how natural she moves with every beat. Junna is far and beyond a Musician, she's the best drummer in human history.
Excellent and wonderfully emotional drumming 🤘🤘 It's always a pleasure to watch Junna! 😍💖😍 You are the absolute best drummer in the world. 😎🤩👍 This is now a new favorite video of mine!
@@theremixphilly Maybe she wrote it herself? I do not know, if she has someone which wrote the song. She does not reply very often. I do not know if she reads / can read the english comments.
Two Thumbs Up. Absolutely amazing show love the nuclear power that she emits into her drums to drop an ear bomb shattering our brains. JUNNA you're a one in a billion drummer and I wish I could see you at a live show. Thanks for sharing your amazing energetic percussionist skills . Keep Rocking.
all i can say is.... look at her power? look at her attitude? look at the fookin passion? notice i didnt say skills? because that gos without equation... great talent keep on rockin girl and pls keep the videos comin! pretty pls? lol
Listen up world...............JUNNA, JUNNA, JUNNA that the only name you need to remember when a DRUM KIT is involved.................This absolute fabulous talent can't be ignored, she is just far too AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.......Did i say JUNNA is god damn AWESOME. ㊗JUNNA㊗🤩
It's hard to understand that until now this video has not a million views and that her channel still isn't subscribed by at least a million viewers. What are you waiting for guys out there??? This is definitely the most entertaining drummer I ever have seen or heard in my whole life! (And I'm an old guy who saw Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Ian Paice, Jon Hiseman and many others live back in those days...). She ist technically on an upper level, right? She puts an enormous amount of energy, passion and musicality in her performance right? And her showmanship? It's "next level" as a reactor (a professional drummer) said on his reaction to Junnas cover of Through the Fire an Flames. She is just something very very special - and of course "kawaiiii" too... I really love her and watching her play drums so passionately!😄😄😄❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Also a boomer 😂. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, I had little interest in drums. It was all guitars-Pete Townsend not Keith Moon, Eric Clapton not Ginger Baker (though I do have all of Cream’s albums); most groups I couldn’t name the drummers to this day. Came to UA-cam looking for probably the only drummer I care enough for to even use an Alphabet related site-Danny Carey (Vic Firth posted a drum cam vid of Pneuma) and discovered the world of reaction vids. Several ‘reactors’ also had posted JUNNA’s cover of DragonForce’s TTFAF. Watched it and broke my vow to never install an Alphabet app just to be able to give her videos a thumbs up. Followed her channel which led me to Demon (since purchased on iTunes). All this is to say that the track doesn’t have a million views because there’s no easy way to find it-nevermind that I don’t speak/read Japanese. Unlike her covers of well known artists, unless you fall down the UA-cam rabbit hole you’re unlikely to listen to it. Personally, I think she’s amazing. I broke down and installed instagram (despise Zuck) to follow her-mainly because there seems to be no other way (intensely dislike Musk, and really didn’t think much of twitter before he bought it). I think the problem is she’s too talented to take a backseat and there are too few groups ready/willing to put a drummer up front.
Thanks for your reply!😀 Yes, we have similar experiences and I feel some need to give some comment on that - I try to keep it as short as possible, promised! In my youth when I played guitar in a rock band (very very small scale though...) I was a huge Cream fan - Eric was my guitar hero. And as I wrote I attended lots of rock concerts and festivals. I even was on Jimi Hendrix' second last appearance on an festival on the isle of Fehmarn Germany. Just a few weeks later he died on the Isle of White (if I remember right). So, at that time I was pretty deep in the "rock music world". Later, life took me in other directions and I didn't walk along with all this "hellish" dark metal stuff. I think with Black Sabbath my distance to that type of music started. I liked Deep Purple, a bit of Led Zeppelin too - but I really liked Mountain - "the most underrated rock band" as some commentators wrote on various Mountain videos on UA-cam. Mountain was so much more than just their hit Mississipi Queen ....! Anyway, It took many years and the damn Covid time for me to discover the absolutely amazing female rock and metal scene in Japan - and this incredible skill level they have. It aren't of course not just the drummers - it's all (!) instruments. Senri Kawaguchi and Kanade Sato in the realm of Jazz Fusion drumming, Saki and Hazuki (Nemophila), Midori and Myako (Lovebites), Yuki (D_Drive) Kanami (Band-Maid) and many many more in the rock and metal guitar field - and so I could write on and on for all instruments, i.e. bass (my god there are so many absolutely stunning female bassists in Japan!!!), violin, piano and more. I just want to highlight one special person who in my opinion is absolutely unique: Miyako Watanabe from Lovebites. She plays piano on a concert level as a "virtuoso", plays metal-guitar on a absolutely professional level too (and together with Midori forms one of the best metal guitar duos in the history of metal music) and is a very skilled composer too. And last but not least very "kawaii" too ...😌 To sum up my comment now: now in my days as an "Oldie" I became a huge fan of japanese rock, metal and fusion music - especially made by those fantastic female musicians. And I had the opportunity to meet Junna in person (and had a short conversation with her with my really poor knowledge of the Japanese language) on Fate Gears European tour where she played drums as a replacement for their regular drummer. She is a really nice and humble person - until she changes to that "drum beast" that she is.😁 Keep on rocking!👍🤘😄😄😄 @@mrv3405
@@rasi2020 You’re a few steps ahead of me. Just looked up FateGear last night. 😀 Did come across Akane’s solo/drum cam vids this past week and she’s impressive but not nearly as ‘fun’ as JUNNA (all-caps force of habit). I’ll have to take a longer look at Band-Maid. Dark/Black/Death Metal has no appeal. I really dislike the vocal style. The only Metallica album I liked was the one all Metallica fans hated (the black album). I think it’s funny that JUNNA has me listening to musicians I never heard of (DragonForce and Yngwie Malmsteen) or ‘artists’ I find repugnant (LU). Drifted over to electronica in the 90s; TOOL being the exception that proves the rule. And they indirectly led me to JUNNA and now J-Metal. Life is strange. Did create an instagram account yesterday to follow JUNNA. She’s quite active there. And she does appear to be quite ‘humble’ for someone of her talents. She needs more original material to get noticed I fear. Don’t know how that happens though.
Keep on searching Japanese (female) rock and metal music - and some jazz fusion too; it'l be a fantastic journey, promised!😀 Some recommendations: 1. Drummer Senri Kawaguchi (quarantine music festival is a really good example of her style) 2. Kanade Sato (Dave Weckl cover - really impressive!) 3. Muses (All female jazz fusion band with Kanade Sato as drummer. But the other members are top notch too!) 4. Lovebites (Swan Song with Chopin Intro, featuring Miyako as a brilliant composer, pianist and guitarist all at once...) 5.

@@rasi2020 I’ve sampled/followed most of your list. Found through various ‘reaction’ UA-cam channels. Which brings to mind a couple of things that have bothered me: 1) rewatching a reaction may encourage the ‘reactor’ to post more of the artist, but does nothing for the artist directly (beyond the initial reaction recording). UA-cam, I believe, pays based on subscribers and/or views generated. I suppose you can argue that the artist gets exposure and, hopefully, followers. So my conundrum is: support the artist or the reactor 🤯😂. By the way, thanks for reminding me about Mountain. Owned the “Climbing’ CD back in the day, but gave my collection away a few moves back-have to look it up. And, here’s one for you: Juno Reactor’s ‘Labyrinth’. Great album.

The first thing I thought of when I heard this song was, "I wonder what musical monstrosity her and Marty could compose if they did a collaboration?" and then I got a big, evilly happy smile on my face at the thought.

Been drumming for almost 50 years and Junna is one of the most inspirational drummers I've ever seen! Her facial expressions and mannerisms are choreographed like a dance and add a whole other layer.

It’s unbelievable
Her facial expressions are her having fun with basic breathing techniques, not necessarily choreographed or planned. She's just goofy in a good way.
Just discovered her channel through some reaction videos. Totally blown away she deserves all the praise she gets!
Not only are you a drumming prodigy, your sheer joy and charisma while playing is felt through the screen. Keep on being amazing!
僕も元プロのドラマーでした。
若さを活かしたパワフルさ、そして何と言っても感情移入したプレイスタイルでとてもいいドラマーさんですね♪

The jealous ones!

Envy is a nasty feeling.
Blows me away. The energy is amazing the timing is fantastic she’s out of this world.
Awsome theatrical style, gotta love the performance!

Ez egyszerűen csodálatos....igazti élmény hallgatni...látni,azt ahogy zenélsz..Cserébe felkínálom a lehetőséget....Bármikor ha erre jársz Magyarország ..... Hungária ...Sárospatak...Nem mint zenész ,hanem mint privát vendéget néhány napig szívesen látlak !!!
マーティーフリードマンさんとコラボして演奏してほしいと思った件😆
「弾いてみた」じゃなくオリジナルだった今回にビックリ🤭
なんにせよLIVEで観たいと切に願うのであります🙏
The first thing I thought of when I heard this song was, "I wonder what musical monstrosity her and Marty could compose if they did a collaboration?" and then I got a big, evilly happy smile on my face at the thought.
Thank goodness! I have been waiting for a new video! 👍🏼👏🏼🥰
Another fantastic performance from the most entertaining drummer in the world!
Excellent video!!!
Spectacular as usual! Great original track. Hope to hear some more. \m/
Let alone her skills,the song is fire also!
