Here’s another human beat box / yoyo collaboration, this one between beat box artist Tooru Kawakami and 2003 Japanese National Champion Masakazu Yamasaki. Solid work from both performers, and well worth the 10-minute video.
YoYo x Human Beatbox
Yoyo player Masakazu Yamasaki and human beatbox Toru Kawakami collaborated on this, what appears to be their third performance together. Not sure how much is scripted, but it appears to be largely improvisational. It’s a bit long, clocking in at seven minutes, but pretty cool to watch!
Vortex ft. Masakazu Yamasaki
Here’s some great 2A play from Masakazu Yamasaki, promoting the recent release of the Vortex looping yoyos by YoYo Joker. The tangler that he rolls down his back at 1:46…gotta be honest, that scares the crap out of me but it’s SO GOOD! It’s actually really similar to an old hoop juggling move from the vaudeville days.
