What a classy young lady. So confident in her abilities to express herself without the use of an interpreter, determined to do it on her own. Way to go Yoyoka!
I'm so proud of this girl, her drumming is fantastic and to overcome the challenges of moving to a new country has to be admired. I respect her and the talented Soma family.
I’ve watched many drummers in my 57 years including seeing Neil Peart play live many times. She may very well be the most talented drummer alive today. Which is amazing considering she’ll likely only get better - assuming that’s even possible. Rhythm, timing, wrist speed, stick control, overall vibe, syncopation - you name it - she’s got it. Unreal talent.
@@goldreverre in the Patreon Zoom call with YOYOKA last night she said they brought 5 mics to the TV station but were not allowed to use them so she was dissatisfied with the sound .
Very impressed with your advancement in English Yoyoka! So brave to do an interview in a language you are a learner of!!!! Love your work little sister!!
That news studio has NEVER rocked as hard as it did when you played your drum solo!! Great job Yoyoka!! Very impressed with your interview without a translator 👍
That was great advice to keep challenging yourself! You taught me that a couple years ago through your videos and it changed my life. Thank you for continuing to inspire us!
Great job YOYOKA! When you announced that you were doing improv, I was hoping that you were going to do your original tune "Sparkling", but after that performance, you truly made the correct decision. You get better every week! Not sure how that's even possible, but you prove me wrong EVERY WEEK! Your speed and accuracy is amazing! Your English IS GETTING BETTER! Nice to see you doing the interview in English, you did very well! Like to see you using English, not because it is better, but I think it will just help you adapt to the U.S. and people will want to support you more, if they understand what you say. I know you still love Japan, and always will! You are a true Professional!
Love the drum solo, love the drum set - you absolutely killed it. Excellent tone, originality and genuine rock vibe. Just when I thought you couldn't get any better, you're actually showing more feel and strength/power 💪 Keep on rocking 🥁 🎶
YOU were AWESOME.!! Excellent choice of fills for your solo and it was timed perfectly.....so that you leave them wanting more and more. Even the ring falling due to gravitational forces beyond your control didn't slow you down. Well, YOU slowed you down. Again...perfect timing. Also, your English was great. Ok, so you have an accent, but I don't know too many people that can speak two languages AND play drums so impeccably at your age either. Fear not, it will all come together soon enough. YOYOKA, you never disappoint, nor cease to amaze. Domo arigato. どうもありがとう
This is originally the Purdie Shuffle. ua-cam.com/video/sj6o4cxWgl8/v-deo.html And no surprise at all that Bernard ua-cam.com/video/sj6o4cxWgl8/v-deo.html, John Bonham, and Yoyoka each and all are solidly known for it now.
Great reaction from Yoyoka when the compression ring fell, Mistakes happen live, just gotta move on and keep going She had to improvise while she was improvising. Show's how great she is.
@Not Expat Joe Thanks Joe. I am a guitar player, so I don't know. I just guessed. Good luck to ya buddy. Thanks for the info. P.S. I just love watching her play. and of course, The whole family.
Dampening ring. I like em on a snare because it being unattached to head it actually lifts up evercsi slighty, so you get the open sound, then quickly falls back down to dampen excess ring / overtones. A floor Tom can have a dampener too, but it is like a flap, that lifts when drum is struck, then falls back down to shorten note, ring, overtones. Almost all subjective stuff and depends on context, kit, room, stlye, taste...
Most people have trouble going up in front of the class and trying to speak in a language they are not fluent in. The courage and self confidence displayed here is stunning and inspiring. What a special person!
Wonderful job Yoyo! So great to hear you doing this interview in English. I would bet that a year from now you will be speaking English like a native. The improv was great, but I knew you'd be limited to showing a snippet of your talent on a commercial news broadcast. I do appreciate that they gave you a nice introduction and some playing time. Btw, you look beautiful and very grown up. Wishing you and your family the best of everything in our crazy USA!
Awesome! So happy for you. That was indeed very brave of you to do an interview in English. Even though you struggled a bit you pushed through it like the champ you are!
Great job with your interview/performance! You are doing so awesome and seem to be thriving here in the US. You’ll be popular nationwide in no time, just keep pushing ahead and challenging yourself. Your English is getting very good too! Been following you for years, you make your fans proud 👍
Yoyoka is Awesome! She said she would love to work with famous people. Guess what! They know! Yoyoka is very welcome. It could be that Sina-Drums is a big Fan too!
She has a phenomenal talent. How brave taking on an interview this soon after moving here. Having visited Asia many times I understand how different our languages are from each other. Good for her doing an interview, I certainly wouldn’t. She’s amazing.
You’re learning so fast. I’m overwhelmed by your ability to adapt and thrive. Your parents, your brother and yourself should be VERY proud at what you’ve all accomplished and experienced. It’s all been an absolutely beautiful ride watching this all unfold over the last few very challenging years.
Your English is getting better and better. And your drumming is just... wow. I'm so glad the rest of the world is starting to catch on to Yoyoka's magic!
Can you imagine you are about to perform on TV. You're 13. And you are being interviewed in Japanese in Japan. And you absolutely nail it like a boss!!! Thank you Yoyoka for always coming thru brilliantly!
I just watched this on their website. You did a great job Yoyoka! I am sure it was a challenge because she didn't slow down her questions at all, but you followed her really well!
Yes, great job in your English! Your drum solo was awesome!🥁💪 Also happy to see you living in the bay area Oakland California. I live 40 miles away in Sunnyvale California. That gives me a chance to See you in person preforming locally someday.!💯👌💪🐶❤️
Honestly, even though her English speaking ability is not yet on par with her drum skills and Japanese language speaking ability, her English speaking progression is evident far above what I expected. Imagine going to a country where not only the language is different, but they don't even use the same symbols to represent words. To me, it is mind boggling, but Yoyoka never lets a challenge discourage her, she just goes forward, no matter the obstacle.
God bless you, Yoyoka. I can remember you as a little girl drumming like John Bonham. You have grown up in front of our eyes, and your English has really come along. Thanks to KRON 4 for spotlighting you. Good luck, Yoyoka .Your future is unlimited .
@@racebiketuner They both Love Rush. That is, Yoyoka and Sina. They're both excellent at performing Rush songs flawlessly it sounds. Or at least a fantastic job of it. It seems funny to me. Rush was putting out their best, many decades ago and only now are really well known Worldwide. The press in the day said only Boys like Rush. Geddy Lee said he had to sing high notes because the Music was mostly low notes. More Girls than Boys love Rush now, I think. 'Conk CONK" okay. That's not fair. Ouch! Anyway, Rush was a minor band for awhile, Just 3 ugly guys living in Toronto with me here, somewhere. Girls groove on the low notes now. Harleys are hard to find. We? I liked the High notes of my BLUE '72 Kawasaki H2 and the DEEP notes too!
@@racebiketuner Yoyoka seemed really dressed down don't you think? What was that she wore? Who put all the drums up backwards, a bunch of old Harley Riders with an old, grudge against 'Rice Burners? We've known darn well Yoyoka is a true WorldStar. Keep things in perspective here. Yoyoka has been a magical athlete since she was an 8 year old. We all saw it. We all know that she is, and that's true. Yoyoka is certainly not dumpy or fat. She will soon grow into an extremely well formed, athletic, Asian woman. Flawless figure. Even now, a Rock legend and could easily kick the crap out of any boy that would dare to threaten her. A little Bruise Lee in fact. We all joked about her POWER. She does a heavy physical workout every day on her drums, and she is as fit as a fiddle. She has powerful strong legs and arms for her young age age and mind-blowing reflex's. She could take a bad boy out with only one finger long before he knew what hit him.
There is another very little girl that really smiles as well as she plays like Yoyoka always did. Cut and paste this "Ellenplaysbass" Genius Children! Yes. They all know each other and have jammed at least virtually, all on, UA-cam free! Just look.
She is an amazingly talented human being! It’s very encouraging to hear her speak her mind in a foreign tongue and play so incredibly well! Tony Williams would be proud of her!
She is a class act I never heard her speak before . Don’t know how long she has been in The United States but her English is very good . Wish her and her family nothing but the best . And yes you will be playing a lot of venues with many musicians !!!!!!!!
@@rexwave4624 Pow (the nickname she is known by), is one of the most charismatic drummer on the scene today as well. I've been a fan of The Warning from before they had their first gig at Whiskey A Go Go.
@@longcastle4863 no argument from me! My first time seeing The Warning live was this, although Pau isn't well-lit. I was standing dead centre under the white lights. It was really loud (110dBA and more) and clean. The bass and drums were atomic. ua-cam.com/video/hxHoFGxpR9A/v-deo.html
Yoyoka is picking up English at lightning speed. None of us who've been following her journey are surprised by that. She's brilliant and absolutely fearless.
Nice job Yoyoka, everyday you keep impressing me. Really doing the interview in English leaves me speechless but in fact should we be impressed? And what a drum solo oufffff.
"Women's History Month" Best Choice Awards deserved. Did you know that Yoyoka was awarded with an Official Honorary "Professor of Music" Degree in Japan?
Well actually the position was visiting professor. It is a pretty free college but I think she talked about learning ~ great interview with the president of the university.
Guitar strings break, drum sticks break, and now we have a new one. She's a total pro. Of course when she gets a big opportunity on the big stage, the unexpected comes along and she got her stick under that dampening ring but she sucked it up and blew right through it like a champ. It actually motivated and focused her....oh yeah fate?...well I'll show you! She's the best and getting bester every day...along with her English.
Welcome to the Bay Area! Your drum skills are incredible. Good luck to you in finding the projects you want and working with many other famous artists.
It's great to hear Yoyoka's English improving so much, and to see her getting the recognition she deserves. We are priviledged to be witnessing the birth of a rock legend. Cheers from the UK.
Your drumming has always been like candy for my ears Yoyoka-sensei! 🥁🍬 I love the way you powered through this interview fearlessly, even as the English language fought back without mercy! 💗💓
Wow, add genius to her list of attributes. You are advancing at light speed, Yoyoka. Thank you for always being an inspiration and great fun. I always want to plug in and play when I hear you.
Yoyoka Kills it whatever she tackles...her cover of Stings Seven Days by legendary Vinni Calutti is penomanual in 5-4 time and Poly Rhythms...it's next level.
The fact she can do a full drum cover of a song she’s heard for the first time by a drum virtuoso through listening and figuring out the original song, by ear, for just half an hour and nailing it is a testament to her genuine talent. Hope she grows up to be a huge contributor to the world of music.
Yoyoka, you did wonderfully. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself in a forward situation in which less-then-kind people can become impatient and even condescending. But, you remainded gracious and kind-hearted through the interview. God bless you, young lady.
She is a great ambassador for music and youth!
What a classy young lady. So confident in her abilities to express herself without the use of an interpreter, determined to do it on her own. Way to go Yoyoka!
I'm so proud of this girl, her drumming is fantastic and to overcome the challenges of moving to a new country has to be admired. I respect her and the talented Soma family.
I’ve watched many drummers in my 57 years including seeing Neil Peart play live many times.
She may very well be the most talented drummer alive today. Which is amazing considering she’ll likely only get better - assuming that’s even possible.
Rhythm, timing, wrist speed, stick control, overall vibe, syncopation - you name it - she’s got it.
Unreal talent.
Well done YOYOKA, very brave of you to do this in English. Fabulous improv solo, to bad the studio didn’t allow the sound setup you wanted.
Yes, She is so much better. Patronizing her for cripes sake. Here use these...kid.
I didn't catch that. Maybe I missed something earlier... Was there some difference or compromise in the setup?
@@goldreverre in the Patreon Zoom call with YOYOKA last night she said they brought 5 mics to the TV station but were not allowed to use them so she was dissatisfied with the sound .
Very impressed with your advancement in English Yoyoka! So brave to do an interview in a language you are a learner of!!!!
Love your work little sister!!
Yoyoka's level is absolutely impressive, an excellent interview too, very solemn and appropriate to the occasion. congratulations
That news studio has NEVER rocked as hard as it did when you played your drum solo!! Great job Yoyoka!! Very impressed with your interview without a translator 👍
So much talent obtained at such a young life. Proud to have her and her family here in the states!
Hooray for Yoyoka. We are glad to have you here!! Your English is getting better every day- such a smart young lady 😊👏👏👏
That was great advice to keep challenging yourself! You taught me that a couple years ago through your videos and it changed my life. Thank you for continuing to inspire us!
Your English is improving rapidly. That was a great message to young people starting out in music!
Your English is getting much better. Such a sweet girl.

You Go Girl
Absolutely awesome! I've been watching Yoyoka for years on her UA-cam channel, and she just continues to improve. Welcome to the USA!!!
You did GREAT! Your English is really good, and you learned it so fast! Drumming is is awesome as always!
With the kit not mic'd up at all in that studio, it still sounds so bizarrely amazing. The kick drum at times sounds like a pure pressure wave.
It was sad they did not let her mic up her kit, but still she showed she was no joke and her school will elevate her to the highest level in no time
Honestly, even though her English speaking ability is not yet on par with her drum skills and Japanese language speaking ability, her English speaking progression is evident far above what I expected.

To me, it is mind boggling, but Yoyoka never lets a challenge discourage her, she just goes forward, no matter the obstacle.
They use *roman* letters a lot. Look up the word kaze and your search engine will tell you it means "wind."
she's picked up "like" off her californian friends very quickly.
If her English language skills were as good as her drumming, she would be Shakespeare

Love it! No fear! Your english is improving big time! 🤙🏼
I've been a fan since "Happy" what a journey! Much love Yoyoka and family!

An interview on life television is such a scary thing. I hope you feel SO PROUD of yourself like the rest of us do! We're so excited for your future!
