She is the living embodiment of The Tasmanian Devil in Warner Bros. cartoons. A whirlwind of flying drumsticks and ponytails that are incredibly precise and footwork that astounds. Truly an amazing performance.

[@jonathanlane2579]

Yep - Akane of Band-Maid is Animal from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem and agree: Junna is Tas. She's scary. People sometimes suggest that this or that amazing musician must be an alien. I half believe this is true in Junna's case.

[@MegaHogzilla]

She's a speeding tornado of flying drumsticks and hair. I love her style, power, and skill.

[@mottahead6464]

She's a total powerhouse.

[@raulscott9322]

Anybody that ever dislikes Junna might as well dislike oxygen. This young lady needs to be considered as One of the best drummers in the World and that may be understating it. What can't she cover? Love the energy, joy, precision and beauty!

[@billb.5183]

Rumor has it that Junna's drum kit filed assault charges against her after this was filmed.

[@POWER-LINKS]

NOT a rumor. Fact.

[@tcntad87]

Legand has it the drums are still crying after paying money they owed Junna

[@nrich5127]

She's driving so many drummers to tears and disbelief ....

[@brianballard1729]

Junna is one very Professional, Enthusiastic, and interesting Drummer performing at and demonstrating high skills and a great joy in playing....

[@Glen.Black.]

JUNNA is just Bad Ass! She has an awesome style unlike any other! Flails about, hair flying everywhere, and playing flawlessly! Her feet are like jackhammers! LOVE IT! I always say she is the MOST ENTERTAINING Drummer in the world!

[@jonathanlane2579]

and you know she's enjoying herself.

[@Glen.Black.]

@@jonathanlane2579 EXACTLY! I love that this is not for show, it's just that she's that into it. She plays the same live, on stage, sitting in the background where nobody can really see her...LOL

[@frankpineda1832]

She is something else, the word is AMAZING, good video man 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏼

[@davidforrester3147]

I love the energy Junna brings to it.

[@albertcoslovich1673]

Amazing drummer I think she’s up with some of the best

[@flamingbridges1649]

Yeah I don't get how anyone can dislike this. Guess they're just jealous they'll never be as talented as she is

[@XXXCRSPL]

Amazing how this Little girl plays with such power and her technique is incredible!!

[@koffeebeenz6299]

hey man cool reaction and cool channel ...love JUNNA she is my favorite ...I subscribed after watching

[@stevenhoeltzel500]

The 409 idiots are drummers who are envious of her skills.

[@keithvincent4]

Junna time.She s killer on the kit.

[@markemerson8399]

Her memory and coordination is really beyond belief.

[@23skidoo46]

when I think of Junna . I think power & fearlessness.

[@martianshoes]

Best Junna review on YT.

Thank you!

Just incredible 😳

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

Junna is a beast female at drumming techniques ! So top drummer! Respect endeed!!

[@yakubusamaila8483]

My only question is where did all that energy come from? Just watching her play makes me gasp for breath, how is she doing it?😳😳😳

[@DefendUSA1776]

Just face the fact. Japanese women are taking over the drumming world.

[@tonyborasio7187]

She’s a true Savant! What a genius!

[@jamesskyway6746]

Junna is fantastic. Tho i wish people would stop saying she was in the group "Trident". She was not. Trident did not exist until AFTER Junna left the band known then as Girls Rock Band Kakumei. That band consisted of Junna on drums, Serina on bass and Asaka on guitar / vocals. The group reformed as Trident (keeping Serina and Asaka) and adding Nagisa on drums.
And what is amazing is that Nagisa seems to have the same style and flair as Junna.

[@DavidKAnderson]

Like a lot of people, I thought the drumming might fall off in that project with the transition. Nagisa proved me wrong. Two terrific drummers...

[@tedtosterone2262]

"This is Officer Tano, I'm afraid I'm going to have to giver her a speeding ticket" 🚓 (thank you for your cooperation)

[@markemerson8399]

Haha, I'd probably give her a pass on the ticket.

[@tedtosterone2262]

@@markemerson8399 hmm being she is not 18 yet, my legal authorization is invalid, therefore revoked! lol

[@bob2161]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Hold the flippin' phone!
Give me a moment . . . I'm reeling here. I feel as though I've been accosted, my ears and mind were just, uh, forcibly molested, but I like it, I like it!
Junna. I need to look deeper into this.
As soon as she started, her footwork immediately made me think of Akane Hirose of Band-Maid.
Wave, you've done peeled open another can whoop
a$$ musicianship. And just dumped it out in a heaping pile for us to jump into.
I need to go recover for a bit, then I've got some learnin' to do.
Thanks!

Just incredible job 😳

Those 409 are the wanna be drummers who Junna makes look like the mechanical chimps playing the toy drum set. Love her and her performance, Thank you for reacting to this video.

[@darrentaylor359]

Wave, I knew those double (quadruple?) kicks would blow your mind! You brought up "exercising" - I wonder if Junna works out with thigh-bulding squats or running routine? Her stamina and speed are unreal! Anybody know her routine?

[@WavePotter]

That’s a good question! I’m curious about that too!

[@darrentaylor359]

@@WavePotter Yeah, I heard the Lovebites band members have healthy routines (the Lovebites fans can correct me on that, if I'm wrong--LOL!). Lovebites Drummer Haruna has some insane kickdrum endurance. I assume Yoyoka has built up her endurance from drumming at such a young age. Maybe Junna, who also started young, just built endurance from exoerience. I'm curious, too. Anyhow, Thanks for the reply, Wave. Keep rockin' and reactin!

[@XXXCRSPL]

Ya let me rollover the bed and ask her

[@jonathanlane2579]

I can watch and listen to her cover vids like this one all day long, but wonder why she hasn't re-attached herself to a band. She was a great complement to Trident.

[@muttenmagroo]

Being a drummer on RUclips working your own schedule for the shear enjoyment of it is a lot different than tying yourself to a band/production company/ record label. It could be she just enjoys the freedom of being herself.

[@jonathanlane2579]

@@muttenmagroo Yeah, that makes sense. I get the feeling, no pun intended, that she's one of those ppl who marches to her own drum.

[@ericedstrom2083]

She left the band just as Covid was kicking in. The last year-and-a-half has probably been a bad time to join or form a band. And she could not travel overseas to try her luck there. Probably just bad timing.

[@MandrakeDCR]

the 400 dislikes are freaks in the comments section commenting on how she is 'stereotyping' herself - talking about how she dresses, has pigtails, and such... it's flat out jealous resentment. She has that lethal "cute badass" look and absolutely kills it! Screw the haters - it is like watching pure joy and badassery. I wish I was able to go see a live performance! :)

[@itsnoli]

Well, this killed my dream. I think I'll take on tambourines instead. I can probably get technical with a triangle 😐

[@Jaro-DerVolki]

yeah, that's right, but she left the band on 2020 to start solo.

[@jaygonzales7198]

MY FIRST TIME LISTENING TO HER WAS A BABYMETAL COVER IT WAS AWESOME

[@hanatsutpe]

Her best performance video is "ruclips.net/video/0Y37gImgpIE/видео.html [JUNNA] Rising Force / Yngwie Malmsteen -Drum cover-
"And" ruclips.net/video/LBOzJdrQryQ/видео.html [JUNNA] I Was Born To Love You / Queen --Drum Cover
It surpassed the original version.

[@RahimRahmat]

Yet another insanely-skillled Japanese female drummer... this is just amazing.
Let's see, there's: -
1. Sano Hana
2. Akane Hirose
3. Junna
4. Senri Kawaguchi
5. Tamu Murata
6. Kanade Sato
7. Yoyoka Soma
(This is arranged in alphabetical order of their surnames, and not in any form of rank, so chill on why I put Yoyoka at number 7. :p)
I suppose I could consider adding upcoming Kii to this list, but I think we can wait just a little bit more for her case.
Hey people, help me add more famous Japanese female drummers to this list.... let's see how many of them there really are....

[@tcntad87]

Im gonna add Lovebites, Aldious and Band-Maid. Probably so many more out there we havent even discovered yet

[@stevenhoeltzel500]

Haruna from Lovebites and Marina from Aldious definitely have a place on that list.

[@tcntad87]

@@stevenhoeltzel500 Haruna is kinda like a small nuclear power plant, her and Miho made some great tunes

[@RahimRahmat]

@@stevenhoeltzel500 Yeah, that's right... Haruna... forgot about her, silly me.
Not familiar enough with Marina Bozzio though. I only know that surname of hers means she's related. I should really check Aldious out now, shouldn't I?
So there's two more to the list. Looking forward to more names!

[@RahimRahmat]

@@tcntad87 Got it. Band Maid's Akane is already on the list though, so it's Haruna and Marina that's missing. Thanks!

[@BlazinNSoul]

Wait till you get to Judist Priest Painkiller lol. Might bring water along here as is recommended lol. :b

[@Fraggelmann]

I don't know anything about drumming really, but I prefer Junna's version to the original, whatever the differences are. The drums more in front of the other instruments or something? Either way, I was actually a bit disappointed when I listened to the original after watching Junna. I thought I would be able to see her in front of me and enjoy it even if she wasn't drumming, but something was different and... not as good! I guess it also has to do with those "fills"? Anyway... great reaction! It's cool watching someone REALLY appreciate what is going on.

[@terrancejordan7484]

I'm surprised that you haven't done a Trident reaction yet Wave.

[@WavePotter]

I actually just did in my livestream this week

Some of dislikes are most likely from people stopped watching after 10 seconds because "no mics, fake!".

[@rRichmoo7]

I will never understand why people think that the world cares about their reaction to something. Then when people actually care about what another persons reaction to something is, what is the world coming to. Get a hobby people, learn something, be something. Who really cares about what a nobody thinks? Ridiculous

[@WavePotter]

Hey I used to think the exact same thing about reaction videos. I accidentally stumbled into reaction videos after making a video watching kid drummers. But now I realize how much fanbases and artists value them. Reactors are fans of music who use their voice to spread the word about the artists they love. That’s how fanbases grow. By existing fans telling more people about the band and fellow fans feeding of each other’s love and passion for the music. That’s organic growth and many bands and artists appreciate it.

[@WavePotter]

Also a good indication that the world cares about it, is the amount of people who choose to watch them. That number speaks for itself. You’d be surprised how much people would value your opinion as a skilled guitarist. (Yes I looked at your channel)

[@markemerson8399]

I enjoy seeing other people's reactions, especially from people with knowledge and experience.

[@gixxerboy555]

With all respekt but.. I don't like this kind of drumming..
