"As clean as humanly possible" I love the notes so much.

[chilldive]

She sometimes sounds like sequenced midi notes... It's crazy.

[nhae]

She looks to be having as much fun on that piano as animators think pianists do.

[elijahhansel]

As a triplet enjoyer this was fantastic

[selinnazsur]

Her facial expressions are what makes it for me 😂 she feels the cuteness deep in her soul

[AMTunLimited]

Some of the cleanest articulation on piano I've heard IN MY LIFE and in a style that can be described as "zany".

[caidalee]

0:49 only a couple things have tickled my humor like that change to treble clef for the rest just to put it back into bass clef when the notes came. Absurd and perfect

[WinstonChurchill.]

i don’t understand how people can be this good at piano

[brookeb]

I love it when you can see how much they enjoy preforming :)

[mitchellholcomb]

Hiromi isn't human. She can't be.

I can’t put into words what 00:37 makes me feel like. Such an overwhelming sense of joy and nostalgia and laughter. It’s incredible how much it makes my mood improve.

She brings a level of classical technique that is needed in modern jazz players

[evifnoskcaj]

Hiromi always has so much passion and makes it look effortless. More terrifying than adorable, especially when you realize how hard it is to do what she does. 💯😂

I never thought I’d see a piano evolve a person-shaped organ. It’s the only explanation for this kind of perfection: the piano is playing itself!

[thecozyconstellation]

i love hiromi! from her crazy talent to her crazy hair and the crazy faces she makes <3 she is a gem!!

[notkiji]

0:38 when you ornament so perfectly and the piano bends 😳

[machaggis_]

There is a piano goddess, and her name is Hiromi. Seeing her play always fills me with joy.

[inzyster]

I just came back from a concert of hers (what amazing timing) and I don't think we're alone in this universe

[justuss]

Incredible how many different stylistic/rhythmic/harmonic ideas there are in this excerpt..

[AtomicArtumas]

I wouldn't say this really sounds "cute" (it's not remotely the sound that comes to mind when someone says that...) but...
good lord the skill required to play this that well.

Anyone that's never played piano seriously would never understand the insane dexterity AND focus required to pull this off.
The fact that the fast sections aren't just clean repeats is insane.
It's not just being able to move your fingers that fast, it's also remembering what order to do which note increments in.

This is a certified A+ job.
