She is gifted with talent and personality and Kawaii.She is in her early 20's. If you watch her newest cover of Iron Maiden, a bolt falls off her kit by the bass pedal while she is playing, watch her feet close ups. Thank you for reacting to this video.
Yes, I agree on the cymbals 100%. It's a big part of why I love her style so much. Her cymbal selection and placements are perfect with zero overkill Everything she does is like that too, it's definitely her style. She's one of my all time favs.
Junna is imho the best drummer right now... I know there are other drummers who's better technically... but her love and passion for music is outstanding... Show me one person who play at the same level with that attitude..!! 😍👍
Junna left a 3 piece girls band called G.R.K to go solo. After Junna's departure, G.R.K changed the name of the band to TRiDENT and brought in a new female drummer, who is just as skilled as Junna. I believe that rock music has not declined in Japan even now, and that many women in particular have excellent playing skills. I think the reason why there are so many female metal drummers is because many of them were influenced by Nao, the female drummer of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE. She learned to play percussion in a brass band in junior high school, and honed her drumming skills with the advice of her father. Her father was a vocalist who sounded in heavy metal bands when he was young. In 2016 she won a drum solo contest. Her drummer influences include Cozy Powell
Nagisa is just as good as Junna, a better fit for the band (IMO), and much easier on a kit. Junna kills Nagisa in showmanship, she needs a stage where either she is the spotlight or every other person on stage is just as animated, high energy, and adorable as she is.
She has so much energy in this video. I've probably seen it 100 times because it's in my "Play If You're Depressed" playlist on YT. It's awesome it's such an old video but people are still being wowed by it.
I kind of like to believe the Energizer Bunny and a cute Japanese pixie had a daughter and she decided she wanted to play drums......I know exactly what you mean when you compare her to Keith Moon, amazing technical ability and precision hidden behind whirling drumsticks, and in her case, pigtails :) I also love her facial expressions as well, pure gold. It never fails to put a smile on my face when I watch her play, not least because she seems to be having so much fun herself. Anyone who can play with that much skill and talent, and that kind of showmanship and stage presence is a joy to watch.
She just uploaded a Maiden track yesterday. She is going on as a solo act anytime now and is already booked for some show(s). She has been advertising it on her inst and twitter.
Can we take a moment to marvel at how precise she plays. Just listen to the tones of each hit and how they have the same tone hit after hit. THAT is precision, not only must she hit the same spot on the drum head, she has to do it with the same power, and still keep time. I have the utmost respect for anyone that plays drums, it seems so difficult to me. How the hell does anyone do separate times with each limb?!! My brain would simply lock down, trying to do that. Junna is a phenomenal drummer that deserves way more recognition than she actually gets. I suppose her marketing skills are no match for her drumming skills.
Junna has uploaded a new drum cover of Judas Priest's "Painkiller" 4 days ago. Not a carbon copy, but with her own flair & style. Her background as I know, is she was a percussionist in a brass band. There is a fair amount of content on her channel, live and studio. All worth a check out.
She was 20 years old when she did this she started playing drums at the age of 15 before that she was a percussionist in a couple of brass bands and she plays guitar and a couple other instruments and she sings
the fill's she dose are amazing so much enjoyment on her face as she plays thats what it's all about.she is 24 at the time of this i belive, if you have not allready you need to react to Tina s. fire and flames or basicly any of her covers she will blow your mind big time she was between 15 and 17 on her covers with the guitar.

You absolutely MUST check out Dragonforce's own Gee Anzalone's reaction to Junna's drum cover! He says it's his favorite! If you're not smiling while watching it, have someone check your pulse! ;-)
The total joy she plays with is simply remarkable. We all should be as happy doing something in life as this young lady!!! She is now in a new Gothic band with Yashiro (Mary's Blood LIVE guitarist). Dragon Force's drummer call ed this the best cover ever!! She is one of a remarkable group of super drummers (Jazz, Rock, Metal, etc..) in Japan, where music is mandatory and so is learning an instrument. You uncover real talent early and many Japanese band form in their early teens (Asterism formed when Hal-Ca was 11, been together ever since). I will say one thing, I am thankful I am not part of her kit, it must be rehabbed after every set!!!! She is not just flash it is boundless energy and joy that overflows from her playing!!!
My couple composes and produces, and unfortunately no one is left humming the drums, so only those of us who love music in general and know about it have great respect for each musician and know how difficult and exhausting it is to play the drums. Maybe if there were more videos like this, many would know how complex and difficult it is to play some pieces, especially metal ones, Usually have fast times, different intensities and need millimetric precision at metronome level...
How old are you?? Junna age is 24 years old. Are you more younger, or older from her?😁 Junna is one from two my favorite drummer. The another one is Haruna from Lovebites. They both is insane and monsters on drum. But they so cute and tiny. And they stamina? Yes junna and haruna have a lot stamina to playing drum like a gun machine.
I am 10 years older than her haha! She's such a beast and I absolutely love it! YES! The Lovebites drummer is also one I've noticed has incredible stamina and endurance! I couldn't agree more!
Junna is so great! She just posted a new cover to her channel the other day, well worth taking a look at! Also Mr Chief, I don't think you've reacted to either of the new Gacharic Spin tracks? These are absolute FIRE and well worth an inspection from any music lover.

If you're going down the young drummer covers then I hope you've seen Yoyoka. Bonham, Paice, Peart, Powell, all covered to perfection with big smiles and socks. Must see for all drummers.
Senri Kawagucha at 24 years is widely considered the greatest Japanese drummer, with Kanade Sato, five years her junior, giving her a run for her money. Both mainly do fusion/funk/jazz drumming, so metal purists wouldn't consider them. This is a clip from them drumming together nine years ago when they were nobbut young kids. Note that Kanade was younger than Yoyoka is now. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4sf3DgS3LEA.html
I once saw it written somewhere that “Junna plays with the power of 1 million cute little sneezes” (or something similar) I totally agree! 😂 🤘😈🤘 She does “Ashes of the Dawn” as well…, just putting it out there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rBPjoNzvqcE.html
Junna is awesome. If you want to check out her stamina (goes hard for about 25 mins) check her out in Alice Kaminagi act.3 One-man live 2020.11.29 ~ Nocturnal Symphony at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UFdGNJ2g4ME.html
Sorry but my opinion Wearing a mask when you're all alone to prevent catching covid makes about as much sense as going to bed alone with a condom to prevent pregnancy.
