Imagine a clock face. The 12 o'clock position is a perfect hit on the note. the 11 O'clock position is slightly ahead of the note. the 1 O'clock position is slightly behind the note. There are few drummers that nail that 12 O'Clock position consistently be it the snare, kick, or any other component. Kenny Aronoff, Stewart Copeland. Emmanuelle Caplette are 3 I can think of, and now this very impressive young lady Yoyoka. Not only that, she has the groove on everything she plays down perfectly. "The Ocean" cover by Zeppelin she does is so good that even Robert Plant was impressed. I played drums for over 30 years and cannot come close to this girl's skill level.
Rie: "What do you want for your birthday Yoyoka?" Yoyo: "I want to put together an awesome band and just rock out!"... You did it! But that was really a birthday present for all of us! Thanks Yoyo, Soma Family and all the awesome members of this band!
What a band! This is mind blowing. I love the way Yoyo and Lisa X fit in seamlessly with these top of the range musicians. Could you imagine this group doing a tour? I’d pay good money to watch that. Thank you all. Pat 🏴
Never a fan of this song or Europe, the band, but this is played immaculately. Musicianship is always top notch. I'm already getting excited for her 13th birthday.🥁🎸🎼🎤🎌🎙🎹🎶
That is one of the fascinating occurrences when Yoyoka chooses a song or genre to play from. I find myself liking her interpretations of songs that would have me immediately switching the dial if I chanced to hear them played by the original artist that made them hits. None of that posing or "showmanship" that is already old the first time through. I believe it's been lovingly termed "the Yoyoka effect" by her fans. Whatever it is, it works for me.
Agree 100% about the song and the band Europe. The song is an example of how the eighties were a rough let down from the seventies. But, just like RATM, Yoyoka is always interesting to see make some upgrades. Oh and I absolutely like this singer here, for some reason. He is much more listenable.. Anyways I have a feeling our drum hero here is being the perfect bandmate, and this is not a song that she is over the moon about like certain Led Zeppelin songs let’s say. I have a feeling that this Setlist was a somewhat democratic process, and not a dictatorial one. Hopefully this year she will do the last song on the first Led Zeppelin album, “How Many More Times.”
Love this guy's lead vocals and the backup harmonies are perfect. And this whole band is top notch. And one member just turned 12. And another I think is what? 16 years old? Incredible. Amazing. I would purchase the album of all the songs played here.
I am one who never really liked this song. However, I find myself coming listening to this song over and over with this rendition. The duet between Satsuma3042 and Lisa-X stands out and thrills me. As with all of the other songs from your 12th birthday, what great musicians!
I pulled this up and just started to listen at first and I thought to myself Man The drummer sounds really good and I looked up and realized it was a kid, great job kid!!
That is really terrific. Everything sounds spot on. Love the lead vocal. Young Li-Sa-X is fantastic too. Always loved the harmonising guitar lead in this song. Arigatogozaraimasu.
Another breathtaking performance from Yoyoka and her professional group, what could be more than just enjoying the high level show. Thank you Yoyoka and his great group.
You will be attracted to the sound of Mr. Masuda's keyboard in the introductory part and will be captivated by this performance at once. Yoyoka is in control of the whole song, and the sound of the snare really feels good and activates my head.
Fabulous group, top performance indeed. It looks like the beginning of a great group to perform overseas. It must be noted the difference in age between all of them. Absolutely brilliant.
Great band, great vibe. Yoyos sticking is bonkers, the height she strikes from, then so much dynamic range I'd love to see her play something like highway to hell. Simple in theory, demanding in practice.
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched this, it still leaves me in awe (as for most of Yoyoka’s vids). I would bet that this whole birthday celebration would be unforgettable (experience) for the other musicians and a highlight in Yoyoka’s career. It’s like her professional debut to the world. Her 8-year old iconic GTBT’s vid was her introduction. What a terrific job all around. 👍🏼🤘🏼🥁🎹🎤🎸 The only ‘criticism’ I would have is that the (whole celebration) video had too many closeups instead of the whole band performing. And didn’t pan to Yoyoka when she was doing the more intricate fills.
Whaaaaaaat!? I scrolled past this a couple of times because this song is so overplayed and overcovered but then I thought I better watch it for Yoyo. Now watching it for the third time! Yoyo and this crew are killer! I sure hope Yoyo’s 12th bday stretched over a whole month so these videos can keep coming
Ever since this cover came out in Oct. I made comments a few times that I wish this is shown on this channel (YOYOKA's) also but it took just about a month that to happen ( I don't know if they read my pleas ). In the mean time, Li-sa got a biggest benefit out of this b-day bash due to the fact that this song is wildly popular around the world AND incredible work by this gangs !!!😁 I hope YOYOKA still attract more new and long-time viewers here. As for more covers, she has 2 more covers for us, one of that is " KILL THE KING " by Rainbow, another one is some Japanese song. I'm looking forward to that upload !!!😄
@@rockingrandma4711 The full Birthday session is on her Friendship Members channel - it is well worth the 5$ per month to get previews and access to events like this (and the bar concert recently). Also, I am happy to help support Yoyoka and family - art is not easy or cheap!
@@Rob-Yule I do know about FRIENDSHIP sub but every organizations on YT want my sub...... but I'm retired and live on fixed income and if I subed all those organizations ( they entice you w/ discounted fees at the beginning) I have to live on pj sandwiches everyday!! SO, I STAY CHEAP. 🤣😁
Its extremely facinating to watch Yoyoka grow and develope her skill in real time, as a drummer myself, very cool. Thanks to her and her team for such insight. "Keep on rocking in the free world".
Great cover y’all. Flawless. And the mighty satsuma letting a junior harmonize with you on a solo ?? HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I’d would have passed smooth out. Again…flawless and perfect. HOLY CRAP AGAIN !!! I always liked this song for some reason and these guys SET IT ON FIRE AND STOMPED IT BY GOD OUT Kudos !!!
Yoyoka that was amazing!! You and your group are rewriting music and it is fantastic!! Thank you again!! I only wish I give you all something worthy of your musical contributions!! affl!!
30数年前、名古屋でヨーロッパのコンサート観ました。まさか今になってこのクオリティの演奏が日本で、しかも当時は生まれていなかったドラマー、ギタリスト（さつまさんじゃなくて女性の方ですw）の名演で甦るなんて。感激ひとしおです😭😭
The singer is perfect for this song. Love you Yoyoka.
Hard for him to sing with high notes
This is what we call a super group. I think I prefer this to the original.
I'm with ya...
Damn dude! You beat me to it. Singer reminds of Bruce Dickenson of Iron Maiden
Any musician is better than Europe.
This is world class🤘
Off course, you can call them so because of the fact that this song is a walk in the park for everyone in the band. Their skills are way far.
I agree 100 %
YOYOKA "ROCKS" !!!!Greetings from Poland !!!🇵🇱❤🇯🇵
日本語のコメントを見るのに苦労する"よよか"ちゃんのチャンネル。
ワールドワイドに支持されているのが誇らしいです。GJ !
よよかちゃん。HAPPY BIRTHDAY！！！！❤
ボーイッシュなよよかちゃんカッコイイですよ！
I’m here for Yoyoka, but I’m starting dig this group.
The keyboard player has impeccable timing !
NoBさんのボーカル、ジョーイ・テンペストの声質に似ているのか違和感ないですね。ギターソロ前のよよかさんのベードラ連打もバッチリ👍
当時ヨーロッパのギタリスト、ジョン・ノーラムはもっとギターメインのロックがやりたかったらしくこの曲のヒット後に同バンドを脱退していますが、このカバーを聞くかぎり十分すぎるくらいギターロックしてますね。
About the 3 minute mark you actually see Yoyoka have a slight smile 🙂
Another little gift from the young lady. 🤗
She was diggin' it for sure...
Yamada san is still a powerhouse! Great!!!

Plant commented on The Ocean cover Yoyoka & Ellen laid down in Vegas? Please share a link?
OMG! NOBUO YAMADAAAAA! I LOVE THIS MAN!
I'm so glad it's here finally!!!
この素晴らしいセッションで、よよかちゃんは常に美しい音を繰り出しながら、時に楽しげに口元を緩めたりします！素晴らしい。
これからの彼女に幸ありますように。
For her 12 Birthday, Yoyoka gave us and this ensemble the gift of her drumming skills. Thank You
Rie: "What do you want for your birthday Yoyoka?" Yoyo: "I want to put together an awesome band and just rock out!"... You did it! But that was really a birthday present for all of us! Thanks Yoyo, Soma Family and all the awesome members of this band!

Me too...
Absolutely agree, I'd pay to see this group in concert. Make a record, I'd buy it.
Me four !!!!!
Fantastic, better than the original.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🤘❤✌🇬🇧
Dayam! This is just as good if not better than original…..1st class musicians !!

Yoyokaさん（１２歳に敬意と実際にその雰囲気になってる） は勿論！！
その他のメンバーも凄い！！ボーカルの声も張りもGood！！
とても素晴らしい演奏でした。
What. A. Drummer. Wooooooooooohoooooooo. Love you, Yoyoka ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yoyoka's Birthday Bash = the gift that keeps on giving!
80年代を彩る名曲ですやん
I wonder if Europe realized when they wrote this, that it would become THE "pump them up" song for every hockey franchise on the planet.
It started life as a short instrumental intended to get fans going before the band hit the stage, so I think Joey had some idea.
WOW!!! the singer nailed it 👏👏👏
Lisa X and Yoyoka with a cast of old school masters of the craft. If they take this on the road there will be no stopping them.
Love this guy's lead vocals and the backup harmonies are perfect. And this whole band is top notch. And one member just turned 12. And another I think is what? 16 years old? Incredible. Amazing. I would purchase the album of all the songs played here.
Amazing 🌟 Yoyoka
INCREDIBLE!!!!! BRAVISSIMO!!! HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU YOYOKA! May God Continue To Bless and Protect You Always Sister 🙏
Wow! Just Wow! You guys are fantastic! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👏👏👍👍
何度も聞きたくなる名演。
ありがとう！
Amazing musicianship from all...pure CLASS
Grattis på födelsedagen Yoyoka! Happy birthday in swedish!
何度聴いても、豪華過ぎる、バースデーセッションメイキングも観たいですね。
This is a very confident band, it shows in their performances. Both Vocalists were great and I love the twin guitar solos.
The Japanesse musicians are the best all over the world in general. Great cover. Vive Japan🇯🇵🇵🇱
O Ya! Amazing! Love love love it! Happy bday!
Amazing amazing amazing. Just blew me away. Yoyoka was great. Singer awesome. Guitarist the best.
Keyboard player is so cool showing no facial expression. Awesome performance, I also like this way better than original.
よよか師匠！素晴らしい！特によよか師匠が曲の骨格支えているのが伝わります！よよか師匠応援してますよ！
Fandamntastic!!!!! Awesome talent!
Power-monster! So good Yoyoka!! ☺

I suppose after this epic session for the twelve years a symphonic orchestra is due for your twenty year one,love everything thank you.
This rocks SO HARD!!! Yaaaaaaaas🔥💥😎🤩
I pulled this up and just started to listen at first and I thought to myself Man The drummer sounds really good and I looked up and realized it was a kid, great job kid!!
She is NO ORDINARY kid drummer !! Her name is YOYOKA.😄
Feel free to join us following Yoyoka. We are never disappointed. There is plenty to listen to.
Awesome! Arigato Yoyoka, you're so inspiring! Happy birthday!
That is really terrific. Everything sounds spot on. Love the lead vocal. Young Li-Sa-X is fantastic too. Always loved the harmonising guitar lead in this song. Arigatogozaraimasu.
Oh wow.. I didn't recognize her...
Yeah!!! Love the vocals
Perfection! Kanpeki! Thank you.
OMG ! I grew up with this... Y'all did an amazing job..NoB needs to do some DIO & iron maiden his voice is perfect for it ! ❄COLDCHILLS❄
If I am the Boss of Hard Rock Café in Vegas, I'll sign you (your super Band) for 1 year or more.. 😂 😍😍
Great band great singer
Another breathtaking performance from Yoyoka and her professional group, what could be more than just enjoying the high level show. Thank you Yoyoka and his great group.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. You guys rocked it. 2 thumbs up.
YOYOKA! ❤✌
This just can't be done any better !!
What a beautiful version! Congrats to all of you...magic musicians!
Amazing!!!
Such an amazing group of musicians and singers that came together for Yoyoka’s 12 birthday, and we got the presents. Thank You so much! 🐰🥁🐰🥁🐰
Awesome great band. Every element brilliant. Especially good lead vocals!
Man I love hearing good musicians make music! So awesome. 🤘
Como é possível uma criança tocar uma bateria com essa perfeição ? Lisa na guitarra dispensa comentários por ser uma alienígena desse instrumento.
Well done to everyone involved! Thanks for entertaining all of us and a belated happy birthday Yoyoka!
Great session! YOYOKA and LISA-X, SO AWESOME!
You will be attracted to the sound of Mr. Masuda's keyboard in the introductory part and will be captivated by this performance at once. Yoyoka is in control of the whole song, and the sound of the snare really feels good and activates my head.
凄いのただひとこと。将来がますます楽しみ。
All I'll remember years from now....not Covid but Yoyoka's 12th birthday celebration! Amazing musicians! Thkq Yoyoka! 🤩🤩🤩
Satsuma + Yoyoka + Li Sa X = The world gonna explode 🥳🥳🥳
It feels like my birthday too now... O man!
Fabulous group, top performance indeed. It looks like the beginning of a great group to perform overseas. It must be noted the difference in age between all of them. Absolutely brilliant.
Great band, great vibe. Yoyos sticking is bonkers, the height she strikes from, then so much dynamic range I'd love to see her play something like highway to hell. Simple in theory, demanding in practice.

はじめまして yoyokaちゃん
あなたの存在は前から知ってたんですが・・・ 中々動画の拝見まではしていませんでした（ごめんね）
今朝、北海道ローカルの”イチモニ”であなたのことをやってるのを見て道民であることを初めて知りました。
そこで、通勤中に動画を見てみました。
レインボーやらパープルやらレッドツェッペリンやら・・・お父さんが往年のハードロックファンなのでしょうかね。それはともかく
びっくりしたのがこの動画です。「おっヨーロッパやんけ」と・・・一切何も見ずに再生しました。
こんなもん誰が歌えんだよと・・・まぁ正直厳しいだろうなと思いました。
んで、のっけからあなたのドラムとベースのグルーブ感がすげぇと思いながら・・・
そして、ヴォーカルが入ってビックリ。山田さんじゃないですか！！
私、この曲の何が好きってこの動画では4:08の部分の「oh～ it's the final countdown」から始まるキーチェンジして歌う部分です。この部分だけを何回も再生しちゃいます。
この切ないメロディと山田さんの熱いヴォーカルですよ これ・・・生で見たら、私は確実に号泣しています。
いやぁ たまげた。バッキングヴォーカルの女性の方もとんでもない歌唱力ですね。
ギターとかもよくよく見たら、RACER X。。。じゃなくLI-SA-x ちゃんというね
この時のセッションには生沢さんも参加したんですよね？その動画はありますか？山田さんも生沢さんも私の崇拝するヴォーカリストです。
いつか、ANTHEMの森川さんとかともセッションできたら素敵ですね。
イチモニで海外に打って出るとコメントしておられましたね。頑張って下さい。
A real pleasure to listen to ! 🤩🤩😍😍
What good ! 👍👏👏👏
Thanks a lot ! 🙏🏻
Can we call this the new definitive version of this song?
ドラムの冒頭、本家が「タタン、タタン、タタン、ドーン！」だとしたら、
よよかさんは「ドコドン、ドコドン、ドコドン、ダッパァァ～～ン！！」って感じですよね🤔
メンバーの人すべてカッコ良すぎて、もう本家が聴けなくなりました😭
Hohohohohho amazing job , congratulations to all the band!!!! I'm pretty sure soon I'll see Yoyoka covering Ghost Love Score. 😁
Great cover of a great song! Excellent!
LOL Yoyoka-san was so intent on not making a mistake. Great job by all.
Great cover y’all. Flawless. And the mighty satsuma letting a junior harmonize with you on a solo ?? HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I’d would have passed smooth out. Again…flawless and perfect. HOLY CRAP AGAIN !!! I always liked this song for some reason and these guys SET IT ON FIRE AND STOMPED IT BY GOD OUT Kudos !!!
Yoyoka plays fantastic as always. The entire group of musicians is Champions League. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yoyoka that was amazing!! You and your group are rewriting music and it is fantastic!! Thank you again!! I only wish I give you all something worthy of your musical contributions!! affl!!
