Future Boyz – Throw Down with MK

By

Japanese EDM group Future Boyz (you might remember them from their appearance at the 2015 World YoYo Contest) just dropped a new video for their song “Throw Down with MK” and yeah…it’s a straight up yoyo video. The music video features Shaqler, because they are amazing, as well as stage footage of a pile of different players from the recent THROWDOWN contest in Japan.  I’m always excited to see our scene get some love…huge thanks to Future Boyz for shining a light on some of the best players in our scene.

Featuring Shaqler (John Ando, Atsushi Yamada, Shu Takada), Ann Connolly, Tessa Piccillo, Hajime Miura, Marcus Koh, Ben Conde, Carlos Braun, and Paul Kerbel.

Making of SHAQLER: 2015 World Champions

By

Team Shaqler won the 2010 and 2015 World YoYo Contest AP Division with routines that blew everyone out of the water. Their 2015 routine was the most difficult and polished group routine in the history of modern yoyoing. For those of us who just can’t get enough, Shaqler has released a “making of” video, showing behind-the-scenes footage of the practice sessions leading up to their 2015 routine. This is a fantastic look at how much time and effort it takes for those perfect few minutes on stage.

And here is the final routine:

EDIT: Huge thanks to Hironori Mii from YoYoRewind Store for sending me some corrections, and providing the video! Check their Twitter account @rewindworldwide for more updates!)

World YoYo Champions Team Shaqler did an amazing demo at the 2013 World Hobby Fair in Japan as part of Bandai’s Hyper YoYo promotion.

Using the “Keep Yo Soul” theme song for the current Hyper YoYo Campaign, it looks like Team Shaqler did an amazing job of getting a ton of kids interested in becoming yoyo players.

Having performed at the World Hobby Fair in Japan I can say that it’s pretty intense….it’s a consumer-based trade show (similar to Comic Con) with upwards of 10,000 50,000 kids barreling through to see the latest and greatest in Japanese toys, games, and hobbies. Companies like Bandai, Sanrio, Capcom, Takaratomy, Konami, Nintendo, and more show up with their absolute best to capture the hearts (and yen) of Japan’s massive kid market.

Many vendors offer special limited editions, available only at the show and this year it looks like Bandai offered a very special edition of their popular Hyper Cluster yoyo (pic below). Retailing for only 2,310 yen (about $25 USD), this white, gold, and black limited edition Hyper Cluster is sure to be popular with kids and collectors.
