YoYoStore Rewind Presents: Janos Karancz

July 28, 2014 By Steve Brown

With Duncan’s International YoYo Championship coming this weekend and the World YoYo Contest next week, all eyes are on 2013 World YoYo Champion Janos Karancz. Janos is still a favorite to pull out his own brand of insane technical play and possibly take the top spot at Worlds, IYYC, or both. Check out this new promo video for him, from our friends at Rewind.

Yoyo used is the Barracuda by Duncan Toys.

44FESTA vol.7.5 – 44FESTA visits Nagoya!

June 9, 2014 By Rafael Matsunaga

Nagoya, well known among Japanese yo-yo players as the home of the very strong Central Japan Regional Yo-yo Contest, hosted a special edition of 44FESTA on May 31st.

A yo-yo event in the region will certainly attract tons of great players, and 44FESTA was no exception. In addition to the mini contest, sponsor tables, and lucky draws, the freestyle contest had big name contestants and judges: among the competitors, Tatsuya Fujisaka, Shinya Kido, Jun Aramaki, Hironori Mii, and Kazuki Okada. Among the judges, Hiroyuki Suzuki, Kengo Kido, Rei Iwakura, Hiroyasu Ishihara, Ryosuke Kawamura, and Shu Takada’s father, Mr. Makoto Takada!

As you can guess, Nagoya is also where Rewind’s headquarters is located, and the entire crew took part in the contest.

And much to boss Suzuki’s delight, sOMEThING team member Yamato Murata won the freestyle contest!

Top five (with a tie at 4th) in the freestyle contest were:

  1. Yamato Murata
  2. Tatsuya Fujisaka
  3. Takumi Hakamata
  4. Tarou Komari
  5. Arata Imai
  6. Yamato Fujiwara

Freestyle videos can be seen here.

The next 44FESTA will be vol.8 on July 12th! Don’t miss it!

Hugh Jackman YoYoing On Japanese TV

September 17, 2013 By Steve Brown

Thanks to our friends at Rewind for giving us some explanation on this one! The yoyoing starts around 0:56.

On the September 16, 2013, broadcast of channel Fuji TV’s popular program SMAPxSMAP, actor Hugh Jackman appeared on the program to promote his new movie “The Wolverine” (titled “Wolverine: Samurai” here in Japan).

In the popular Bistro SMAP segment, he admitted that he happened to have been a yoyo champion when he was 10 years old. Jackman got out a yoyo (allegedly a Hyper YoYo MonsterShell) and proceeded to impress the members of SMAP with his proficiency at tricks such as Walk the Dog, Rock the Baby, and Loop the Loop.

Particularly impressive was the number of solid inside loops Jackman was able to perform on such a basic fixed axle yo-yo! We can only hope to see some more of his yo-yo skills on the other stops of his PR tour.

Hank Freeman Promo Video

March 14, 2013 By Steve Brown

World YoYo Champion Hank Freeman gives us another round of densely-packed 3A tricks, courtesy of Japanese retailer, Rewind. Watching this it’s hard to believe that 3A started off as a bet between Mark McBride and I, then became a running joke, and now it has its own division at contests worldwide.

History is weird.
