Title: The next Keith Emerson / Rick Wakeman is a girl - and she rocks!
Post by: tommys67 on September 02, 2008, 08:05:55 PM
Title Edited to correct brain freeze... duh!!!

These videos have to be seen to be believed.  What we have here is a 10 or 11 year old Japanese girl arranging and playing entire rock songs on an electric organ.

I'm blown away.  No other way of saying it.

"YYZ" by Rush - I love the Rush t-shirt she's wearing!

Great find - she is amazing.  I caught myself fast forwarding through the songs though - I probably listened to about 50% with a big grin on my face, but I didn't have the patience for the whole song.

That said - I was happy I caught the tail end of each song - those were the funniest/saddest parts.  A big part of me just expected the audience to erupt in appreciation - instead it almost sounded like some uncertain clapping like 'is she done?... oh well she's walking away so sure let's clap...' 

I'm sure some of that could be cultural - and it's even funnier to think of this girl going up against all the other child prodigy kids playing strait classical and the other mom's not quite 'getting' the subject.

I hope we'll see more of her someday and she gets some real applause.

That is fecking awsome. She cheated with the pre-programed drum parts, but who cares. Outstanding!

(I never get tired of YYZ)

OK, that's humbling. I struggle to play YYZ with a bass, but she's doing it with bass pedals.  :o

Pretty amazing.
