POUND LIKE if you want to see my cover of this song, and COMMENT suggestions for other reaction videos below!

At 7:27 the part where she takes a drink is a reference to the original Dragonforce music video where Sam the guitar opposite of Herman Li was drinking a beer while waiting for his turn to shread.

Junna! I LOVE HER!!! She is fantastic!!! Junna is the human version of drum muppet Animal from The Muppet Show!

she was and is a tornado. love to watch her passionated drumming. she's the one out of a million. and thanx for your "blown away mind"

I like the (momentary) breaks as much as her drumming, (which is beyond awesome), Both sticks are either are straight up, or even slightly behind her ears, ready to slam the crap out of something. There's pent up pure aggression, eager anticipation, and then she simply cuts loose with pure energy, bordering on unbridled fury.

Gee Anzalone from Dragonforce stated that this was his favorite cover of that song (apart from his own). He really liked the fact that she is fearless, smiles, and doesn't play tight.

That's the thing about a lot of musicians in Japan they have the discipline to go all out to perfect their art.

8 mouths ago she was 21. don't know if she's 22 now. Like I told you junna's like a flaming tornado🙂🔥🔥🔥👍. Loved the comments thanks.🤘👍👍👍👍

This is the definition of unbridled joy!

She is my favourite drummer, she plays with HEART FUN and love of that track and sometimes when she gently puts the sticks down I see that it was a very cathartic experience for her AND for me listening and watching... I am not an interested listener of that style of music, but her skill and joy has me totally captured... I estimate that she is currently about 26 ~ 28

Junna is a beast!!! mind blowing !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great video man.From UK.Your cover awaited

Junna kills it again.

To put an end to your curiosity. At the time she recorded this video, she was 24 years old. Yes, she has found the youth fountain.

I love your review! Junna is my go to for a morning awakening!

You can check Junna's own Japanese band called "Trident". It's a 3 piece band comprising of all female musician

We're all born with different propensities and abilities. However, some also get the opportunity for such things to flourish. I think if we can improve upon what we were born with our life becomes meaningful.

Junna played percussion in brass band before she decided to switch to drums at 15. SHE'S AWESOME

Impressionante,a dir poco.Bravissima anche Ami Kim:la sua cover su Burn dei Deep Purple è da brividi,giuro! Ciao Wave!!!

She is so amazing ❤❤❤

It's like she feels every beat in every cell of her body

Смотрю и слушаю junna каждый день.Моя самая красная,прекрасная куколка,фкуся,лапуся.Такой нет подобной.Это DEMON,штурм,Цунами,бешеный вихрь эмоций.Шик.!Блеск.!😀👍

Hey Wave, Thanks for doing the reaction to JUNNA. I recommended her to you, but probaby others did as well. She is not super well known, but should be! She's awesome (as are you)! The range of ages I've seen for her are 23-29 (Looks 13). I thought she was 22. Her birthday is Sept 26 though, according to the profile on the TRiDENT Band Members Profile (She's no longer in that band). She is an absolute BEAST! She has to be the MOST ENTERTAINING Drummer in the world. She beats the drums like they owe her money! First time I watched it I wanted to dive for cover. I thought there was a machine gun going off when she started on the pedals! How can she not pass out from exhaustion after this? For your own pleasure you should watch the DragonForce Drummer @Gee Anzalone's reaction (you probably already have). If I remember correctly he states that she has done the best cover of this song that he has ever seen. He is so excited watching her. Love to see when the original masters watch covers of their songs. Someone said when she takes a drink of water she's spoofing the original video of the guitarists I believe. You're a great drummer! You might be better though if you were born a Japanese Girl... That seems to be the key lately...(Just kidding about the second part!). You have the right attitude. It's all about having have FUN!...C'Ya! Thanks Again!

Put this girl together with Asterism’s Hal-ca and Band-maid’s Misa = Game OVER

IIRC Junna is actually 24 now. Of course she intentionally downplays her age, but anyone playing at that level at even 24 is amazing, that takes some skill AND physical talents to go that hard.

Wow a lot of Japanese women musicians have caused many a musician to contemplate their choices in life so fear not just enjoy yourself and realize that the female Japanese talent pool is endless and the competition is intense. I believe that up to 70% of those in the elite music schools and academies in Japan are female. Junna now is with a newly formed band (Kaminagi Alice) so we will get to see her in action. You should check out Haruna/Lovebites, Akane/Band Maid, Mari/Mary's Blood and a slew of other talented drummers who are now being challenged by many of the younger ones coming up. The competition is so intense you are looking at the survivors who are the very best and Junna is one of them. Even the Dragon Force drummer called this the best cover he has ever seen!!!

"How can she still think about the lyrics while doing all of that?" In her second/third language nonetheless.

that's one scary drum part. good luck with that one!

Like #199. Here we go! Junna is amazing. Good luck Wave.

I have Junna born on Sept 26, 1996 . A lot of digging. I lost how I figured it out.

That's also the problem.. I Was a live audio engineer for over 20 years.. I met many great drummers and guitar players that could play anything... except their own music. That's what makes a player truly great, being able to create, not just copy.

I think she started playing at two at there is a video related to that she is also in a 3 piece band I can't think of there name you can find them on her channel and the drummer for Dragon Force reacted to Through the Flame

Great reaction, thanks - watch the I Was Born To Love You / Queen - Drum Cover bu Junna, - and find out how Queen would have sounded, had they had a rock drummer :D.

Watch her play drums with her band TRiDENT-Japan songs Voltage, No Regret, Utopia...

As a drummer and been playing for years I wouldn't try to do a cover to this period just junna energy is amazing and her drumming is not matched

The original Drummer for Dragonforce reacted to her cover. He said hers was the best cover he ever heard.

She's going to hit 25. If you want to understand the drinking part, watch the original Dragonforce MV.

please next react 【 JUNNA 】Ashes of the Dawn / DragonForce - Drum cover

I guess she would now be about 26~28, Japanese are usually small, petit and well made think of a Chinese equivalent Bruce Lee. perfect for what she does - no surplus fat or muscle totally dedicated to her craft and with a mind that easily manages all the tasks in performance. I have a feeling some aspects of traditional Indian percussion may be what she practices as she mouth what she has coming next - hence the almost perfect timing. I listen to her 3 to 7 times a week and tears of joy come to my eyes every time. Watch out for when she finishes for that "nod of satisfaction" meaning 'I nailed it again through practice and conditioning'... Peace Love and Light

She was born Nov 02, 2000.

Here is the next mind blowing Video from her - Cannon rock kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJaqechnzseYdGg.html It begins slow with strings ... but wait 20 sec ... , and she has fun ... or this - Queen " I was born to love you " kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqh_ra2V17fWqYU.html

Your at almost 400 as I'm writing this! Starting to have huge big test flashback from school just thinking about what your in for😲 at least try to have fun🤬😱🤕😃😃

Beware of japanese drummers, they are beast (and not only drummer). A lot starts playing at a very young age, like 5 years old so you can imagine the rest On other side you must hear some live performance of a drummer like Haruna. She is a little storm behind her huge drum kit playing metal with her band Lovebites. She plays like a beast, or also Murata who plays in the band Nemophila. They do a recent cover of "Kurenai" by X-Japan and she nailed the whole song. Or Aldious, her drummer is great: Marina Bozzio and don´t tell me the surname don´t ring some bells. From years ago, some of the best metal and hard rock bands are coming from Japan

Junna is awesome! I know that you like watching the original artist reacting to these young drummers (Ian Paice) so here’s one of Gee from Dragonforce watching Junna play Through The Fire And Flames....he’s very impressed. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLNie9lmrNu3nmg.html

She's 20. 21 in November

Where are the drum microphones?

I would LOVE to see a fire and flames cover from you! That would be INCREDIBLE 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Next try react bohemian Rhapsody cover by alip Ba Ta from indonesia ( Fingerstyle guitar )

Junna probably put in 25 years of practice into 8 years of actual practice.

I was talking so much I forgot the link to the reaction video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLNie9lmrNu3nmg.html

You otter do her Ashes of the Dawn cover next.

I believe her name is pronounced as Joon-na(h). Her energy and speed is unquestioned. The problem is that my untrained ear could not figure out if her technique is spot on. Just too fast for me to process anything, to be honest. Me thinks she's in the pocket though. Glad you could pick out her fills in all of that.

Now go watch Tina S. Play this song on guitar. You'll love it...

React to Evgeny Novikov’s Demolisher play through

Anyway can you make cover drummer of Lovebites band?

Bad Maid -- Onset --PLEASE!!!

So, check this out. "【 JUNNA 】Rising Force / Yngwie Malmsteen -Drum cover -" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr9jasp60s3UeXk.html It's like all of her other videos, AWESOME, but I just want you to watch the end. What she does with her sticks! They were either on fire or simply of no use to her any longer. Cracked me up!

She started playing when she was around 8.The recording of this video was when she was about 15 and she is around 24 years old now

Great reaction and best guess is she around 21//22. She used to be in a band called "Girls Rock Band Kakumei" and their song Voltage - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9Fpp9t-1Nu5Y2g.html - Aug 2019 - it was suggested she was 18/19 at that time. You might want to watch DF drummer (Gee Anzalone) reaction to this video, it might help you decide about doing a cover - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLNie9lmrNu3nmg.html

Please reaction...Abim finger and Ayu gusfan

I assume you did the cover by now but I hope you did the full 7+ minutes song and not this edited version. This is the 2nd best drum cover I know, I love it and I've heard it multiple times but Larnell Lewis playing Enter Sandman after hearing it 1 time is more impressive

If you want to see more of Junna, I recommend these 2 videos from her former band 'Girls Rock Band Kakumei" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7yblLR50JvIZo0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5h-eLV8s63UZYE.html

what the phuck are they putting in the water over there?!? and of course, imagine what yoyoka will sound like when she she's this old!

React to her cover of Ashes of the Dawn. It is even more mind-blowing than this cover.

if anyone cares, I just did a bit of a dive on KZfaq and she has been playing for about 9 years. which means that if she started at 15, she's now 24. this clip is a promo for a gig from a year ago and she talks about how long she's been playing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iduSiauh2bevm40.html

I enjoyed your reaction video, Now please do the cover yourself. Ty

She once played at full speed, her shoes melted, het sticks caught fire and her drums exploded.

Go to Jordax's channel. They have a video of Junna playing the drums and Tina S playing the guitar for Dragonforce

I'm dizzy

You'll notice that she also mouths the words.

24

I haven't been able to find absolute confirmation on her age as well, but guessing by what I have found I believe she's between 20 and 25, but closer to 20.

If you need to be more discoraged check out Tarn Softwhip cover of Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold.

Junna is great too,but a different level. Alex

I heard she was around 20 years old.

Junna Junna Junna! was a big fan of the band she was in "Girls Rock Band Kakumei" now "Trident" (without her) are too synth heavy for my taste

Last I heard, she is either 24 or 25...in that area.

She's 20 years old

You can hear Junna pronounce her own name here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b92hmtSD0rzcg2w.html, She speaks very polite Japanese in this video, BTW. Watching this video produced cognitive dissonance in the viewer.

Start training! Raw eggs and Eye of the Tiger time champ! Great way to lose weight! I actually lost a couple of pounds watching this!

Reac... Oki fadhlan ... Anatomi dosa

Never sale yourself short buddy put in the work and you can play that cover maybe not as good as junna but who knows me I'm 56 years old man me trying to play that song would give me a heart attack lol

Pretty sure she was about 20 or 21 or so in this video

she is 10 here

Japanese doll ..!very Monster!..

She is 20 years old

She's in her early 20s I'm pretty sure

She's about 22, does a bit of baby metal

Pretty sure she was born in 1996.

i believe she is 20 or there abouts

age is 23

"former drummer"?... I don't understand people that have learned to drum and can keep up with the rhythm and beat but they give up being a drummer. If I wasn't so uncoordinated and I could actually form any decent beat I would never give up drumming. I would literally do it all day everyday. How can someone give up drumming? I use to work with a guy who gave up drumming and I never understood why.

Junna was born November 2nd 2000

She's 20

Title should be corrected: 21 instead of 29 yo.

6:30 She is why Pete Best was replaced by Ringo Starr in the Beatles. What I mean is she shows joy in the playing. Best, perhaps technically superior to Ringo, was taciturn, even dour while playing. A contrast to Paul, George, and John's open and emotional(No, no crying or othersuch, just that you could see they enjoyed performing) playing. Ringo was , perhaps a clown, certainly the most "out there" member, but his being in the lineup was all for the better.

Junna=21 years! OMG !! LOL !!

She’s 23 and a singer in a Japanese Band

kek... theres ALWAYS a Japanese girl who can do it better..

junna is right here between 22 and 24 you are making a comon error with asian from the east ( she is japanese so she ented that "group") they look much younger than they are for exemple for japanese you must in reality look at the "form" of their face most of the time before 20 they still have a "round" face ( the yougest the rounder) what she don't have so she clearly is at least 20 after their age is always hard to pinpoint i have a joke that come from "pen and paper Role playing games"that say "(east) asian have a racial trait called "look at least 10 years younger that their actual age!" so it's a comon error but NO she is between 22 and 24 clearly!
