I cannot get over Hiromi’s insane rhythmic control. It’s unbelievable!

[azianperc]

"You can't play WRONG notes this fast!"

Audience: "We can't even clap in time"

[m.a]

I don't know what is more impressive:

- The speed
- She smiling while playing so fast
- Not losing the rythm with those annoying af claps

[birkobird]

you can hear the audience having a collective panic attack as they desperately try to find the beat

[Stepica]

Devil : play this in perfect tempo
Hiromi : easy
Devil : ok people, lets clap!

[nathansamuelson]

Not only is the piece straddling the line between nonsense and brilliance, but she's loving every second of it.

[ok-mske]

So good the audience started clapping polyrhythms

[jaycal]

For those that are concerned, the Piano is in a stable condition and recovering from trauma, and PTSD.

[ChosnTTV]

She played the piano like how animators animate people playing the piano

[valala]

I strongly believe that Hiromi only falls asleep to the soothing sound of a metronome.

1:23 What beat should we clap on?
Audience: YES

[BlueAcidball]

She doesn’t practice 40 hours a day, she practices 40 hours an _hour_

[Paraselene_Tao]

Okay, the clapping really got me rolling. This entire performance was amazing and the lost clapping is just plain funny!

[goosehonk]

"I bought the whole piano, I'm going to use the whole piano."

[AurikSarker]

god I hate it when the audience claps along

[sydneygauthier]

I just love the fact that she smiles the whole time

[frylock]

shes not just a pianist at this point, shes an athlete

[PiotrBarcz]

This is way too funny how she just destroyed Gershwin's I Got Rhythm and then jammed Rhapsody in Blue into there just for the heck of it xD

[ramadrian]

1:41 That tlitlitlitlitli sound is so satisfying, why isnt anyone talking about it

[chehystpewpur]

everything is spot on. her confused smiles to the bad clapping. the hair. the outfit that matches the expression.
