I'm becoming 62 years old and was a music teacher. This virtuoso mix of raw energy and expressive musicianship gives me hope for the future of music. So much fun.

[cactustactics]

I love when bands write short songs but cram 100 parts into them and then nail the whole thing with laser accuracy

[brankolocanetto]

These girls have an amazing sense of rythm. all the rythmic changes are admirable

[bleakfandango]

I finally found a band that sounds like what is going on inside my head

[joecormier]

Yoyoyoshie stage dove directly on top of me at the show in Cambridge at The Sinclair. Shit was wild. They are a band that you need to see live. Amazing energy.

[SteveJamsEcono]

One thing that immediately stands out in this one is how willingly they engage with the cameras being there -- something most other acts don't really seem to do. Definitely something the American bands could stand to learn from, imo. Makes it way more fun to watch.

[jaredandell]

I love these girls so damn much, such a talented and ferocious rock band

[danisoaresduarte]

This mixture of violence, fire and positive energy is indeed amazing! Mind-blowing 🎸🎶

[smol]

Japanese bands are so creative with their sound. Really impressed with this

[raven_g]

Jordan Peterson came to my hometown the same night as Otoboke Beaver. 60 to 100 dollars to hear an old man yell at a cloud vs 20 dollars to hear this absolute ATTACK of a band? I gotta say, it was a tough decision.

[seanomara]

One of my favorite rhythms are so clean and tight. They have a unique sound and I hope they make music for a long time.

[PANK_INAK]

I had a chance to meet and interview this band in person on this year's Pohoda Festival in Slovakia. It was great time, they were super cool, played a great show in the evening with Yoyoyoshie crowdsurfing, throwing the mic into the crowd and leaving a feedbacking guitar screaming on the floor of the stage after the show. Nobody understood a word they said on stage, but everyone got what they wanted to say, because, you know, the cliche regarding the music being universal language is true. So, if by any means someone from OB reads this - cheers from journalist with Nausica and Super Mario tattoos! It was a great experience meeting you! I am very happy you made it to KEXP!

[THEJOYBOY.]

This is a real crossover band... The drummer is killer ❤

[randytate]

The skills of these ladies amaze me. Some notes. Watch the drums and bass with amazing timing, tempo changes and working as one unit. The gnarly bass tone! Yoshi playing ambient, noise, impossible riffs to fill out the sound. She is an origami godzilla! Floating on the foundation the bass and drums lay down. Vocals ranging from subtle to sublime to silly. This band is amazing offering more with each listen. Not everyone will understand what they are doing but I am amazed. I've probably seen this video 100 times.

[ryuukou]

日本人でありながら気付かなかった😂
めちゃ楽しいパンク！
夢中になっちゃった🎉

[ZillianZilch]

Absolutely mind blowing. I’ve never seen a band having so much fun. And my God that drummer is amazing.

[robear]

Otoboke Beaver gives me hope about the future and music in general. I love the energy.

[arturomontilla]

This girls came directly out of a volcano. In a reign of its own.

[johnchedsey]

That's one of the fiercest drummers out there, yet her infectious smile makes her so dang lovable.
