Happy Friday! What better way to kick off the weekend than by lowering your self-esteem as you realize that despite all of your accomplishments at your ripe old age, this nine year old kid from Japan can totally kick your ass on the guitar. And no, I’m not talking about Guitar Hero or some other video game. This is the real deal.
Watch Yuto Miyazawa wow the crowd on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with his rendition of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train.” Ignore Ellen’s embarrassing interaction with Yuto, where she employs the typical “using a loud and slow voice makes non-English speaking people understand me better” method before cameras. There must be something in the water over in Japan, since Yuto is one of the many Asian child prodigies capturing our attention via YouTube. He needs to partner up with the Super Kid Drummer and these kid DJs to make the most awesome band ever.
Did I mention Yuto is only nine years old? Yeah, what were YOU doing when you were nine? I know I was polishing my rock collection and picking my nose.
Wait, that was yesterday.
What next?

I can’t ignore Ellen’s ridiculous interaction! I just can’t!
Oh my god, his face upon seeing Ozzy is priceless. Hahaha, and his squeals!
Ummm, Yuto must have the strongest fingers for a nine year-old boy. Or maybe each of his finger tips are just made up giant, single callouses. Dammmmn.

I love the fact the kid is loudly speaking Japanese on American TV. Probably broke some stereotype of the reserved, quiet Asian boy. He’s loud and he’s out there, and he’s not scared of anyone. I hope more modern young Asians are like him.

Kid has the skills for an “awesome” cover band at least.
