So, from what I understand, it’s a tradition in Japan for towns and cities to have character mascots, and Nyango Star is one for a town called Kuroishi. I’m not sure of all the details, but apparently he’s supposed to be an apple that’s been possessed by the spirit of a dead cat and his name is derived from Ringo Starr of the Beatles.
I showed this to my wife and friend recently and we were struggling to breathe with how hilarious this was, I had to pause it for several minutes before we could continue.
The style of this drummer is very nuanced. It is light in the variations and heavy in the hit. I'm pretty sure I have heard a japanese metal band with a female drummer that is out of this world. It's probably her.
Love it! My favourite comment since I've seen this video several years ago is: "When your band gig isn't taking off, but you got bills to pay"... I enjoy all the 'drummer' reactions to this as much as I get joy out of the video itself!!
And that just the drummer , all in that band wears costumes playing music , on channel , Shigorokuときめき動画館 Finland has its own called Hevisaurus , heavy metal dinos , YT clip Hevisaurus - 100. 9 min , shows behind scenes , you never know whos inside the costumes 🙂
Nyango Star comes from Nyan = a Japanese Word for a Cat Sound, Ringo Starr, the famous Beatle, and the Word Ringo what means Apple in Japanese! he is the Mascot of a famous region of Japanese Apples and a high professional Drummer!
Haha the original video was haunting me for months in my recommended, then I finally clicked it one time, and now its my forever favorite. It always brings a smile to my face. That feet work is crazy!
Whoever they actually are, they've played X Japan and Dir En Grey songs (bands considered having two of the greatest drummers in Japan) in front of them, lol. Some people think it's Akane Hirose from Band-Maid, which I could see, EXTREMELY similar setup and technique.
Lots of people also think its Nao Kawakita from Maximum The Hormone. But apparently it's even rude to just speculate (which of course im still going to do), but I get it they want to keep the mystery and magic around the character.
@@shinyagami8843 I'm not saying it Nao, but let me shoot holes in your pointing hand... No one has ever said its the same person in the costume every time. And since Nao was there, it indicate some sort of connection to her. But who knows.
@@watcher2554 or they intentionally invited Nyango to troll the people circulating this, still unsubstantiated, rumor 🤷🏽♂ You’re not shooting any holes in anything, you just said what I been saying all along; we don’t know!
@@ryanmarc1853 Yeah, many non-Japanese people think Nao is Nyango Star because of that video, where Nyango Star and Maximum the Hormone are together. You can't see Nao but hear her voice in the video. That's why they assume she's in the suit, but no Japanese people think like that because we know Nao is giving compliments to Nyango Star, meaning she's either filming the video or behind the camera.
When I see this video (Nyango) I have the same reaction. Nyango is a great drummer and so humble to show this skills for children and adults. Great reaction also. I like this video.
Despite the speculation in the comments for this and other Nyango Star videos, the "person" in the "costume" is *NOT* Nao Kawakita. The person responsible for Nyango Star was born and raised in the city of Kuroishi, in Aomori Prefecture. Nao Kawakita was born and raised in Tokyo, some 550km (straight line distance) to the south.
NyangoStarr. “An apple that was possessed by the spirit of a cat” I believe is his lore. Name comes from the fact that ringo means Apple in Japanese and Nyan is the sound a cat makes in Japanese. His name is a homage to Ringo Starr. His whole deal is promoting his home region which is famous for its Apple production. And he promotes his region by playing the drums insanely well.
Great reaction. If you want to see a world class drum act, you should watch Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars live studio session. The drummer Kai Hahto is a human metronome. 14 minutes of pure epic drumming.
If it was on a more private channel we would have 50 drummers claiming it's them. Lol... Pretty crazy video. Now this was a true reaction video. It's great that WTF can be interpreted several ways. It was fun though. What are the odds the person's real name is Barney ? Thanks Colby !
anime music goes HARD. Just about everything in America has a mascot. Almost every majour business has one. In Most towns have one and often have "locadiles" (Local Idols) that are at events along with the mascots. Even individual shopping disctricts may have their own mascot character. Promoting these characters as something for the locals to get behind and cheer and have some fun with can be a big business in the local area. A not-inconsiderate function of the local governing body.
He aint no Steve Moore, Steve was a former metal drummer before he became This Drummer is at the Wrong Gig, he uses all the sticks and tricks while playing hard like this. Imo. But I'm a diehard fan of Steve.❤
This is the first time I actually paid attention to the song even though I have seen this countless times. I just realized it is the Anpanman march, and I feel so stupid for not realizing it before. lol.
"He doesn't seem that over qualified to me", "Whaaaat? Oh My God"
What's funnier is that the person in the costume is actually a she lol
famous last words.
@@nicholaspark4165 Isn't it a man?
@@nicholaspark4165 Yes im pretty sure it is a he.
@@AEpicHuman Is a she, is confirmed.
"Doesn't look overqualified to me"
Three seconds later
"WHAT IN THE WOOOORLD?"

Further, "nya" is the Japanese equivalent of "meow", and "ringo" is the Japanese word for apple.
actually drummer is a she lol
@@screamtheteam12345 The drummer herself is, yes, but everywhere I’ve looked says that the mascot as a character is male.
yep it was one of the poorest regions and nyago star got so popular that the region is now japans leading region for apples.
@@screamtheteam12345never been confirmed.
This video ALWAYS has me dying laughing. Its pure GOLD!
1:54 is hilarious HAHAHAHAHHA
I showed this to my wife and friend recently and we were struggling to breathe with how hilarious this was, I had to pause it for several minutes before we could continue.
2:14 Check out the lady in the pinstripes. She's been bobbing along to the music, holding her clipboard, and all of a sudden she casually throws up 🤟😂
"Doesn't look overqualified to me." The bamboozle of it all.

It's probably her.
Pretty much its confirmed its the lady in maximum the hormone
it's a suit. @Trabsol
Your reaction was so good when you realized "for sure this person is over qualified for this job".
"he was not ready"
this Japanese drummer is insane an next level.
Love it! My favourite comment since I've seen this video several years ago is:

I remember watching this video months ago and cracking th up. Great drummer.
Amazing drummer!
Nyango Star comes from Nyan = a Japanese Word for a Cat Sound, Ringo Starr, the famous Beatle, and the Word Ringo what means Apple in Japanese! he is the Mascot of a famous region of Japanese Apples and a high professional Drummer!
Yep its the ghost of a cat haunting an apple.
Haha the original video was haunting me for months in my recommended, then I finally clicked it one time, and now its my forever favorite. It always brings a smile to my face. That feet work is crazy!
This song is for animation targeted around 3-5years old and usually played for them but this drummer just hustled a little bit.
Drumming in that costume is INSANE: the heat.....!!!!!!!
The raw passion flowing from that cat can inspire anyone to shoot for the stars today. No reason to wait. 😂

There are also speculations of them being BABYMETAL’s lead drummer, their lead drummer drums like this on solos

There is a whole band for this in costume. It’s interesting to say the least.

Never did I ever think I would see someone in a fluffy cat costume shred tf out 😂😂
My favorite part is the pause with the sticks to his head! Cracks me up every time!
"Have you ever seen something like this before?"
My guy, I play the saxophone. I fear this drummer. There is a god in that suit.
Great reaction. If you want to see a world class drum act, you should watch Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars live studio session. The drummer Kai Hahto is a human metronome. 14 minutes of pure epic drumming.
Link to the song please 😅
@@njpponari Here, enjoy :) th-cam.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/w-d-xo.html
"Doesn't look over-qualified to me" LOL. I love your reaction
She's nailed it
"I've never seen anything like this b4"🤣🤣
0:55 - "Does not look overqualified to me.". xD
There is also a turtle somewhere playing the bass.
Kaparu
Poor little kitty cat snapped.
Wait until you see the bass player, it’s a frog thing with huge oven mitt hands! Lol and kills it
フルで初めて見たけど上手すぎる😂
"He doesn't seem that over qualified to me"
1 min later...
"I never see anything like this in my life"
:D
Kawakita Nao, the drummer of Japanese Metal/Punk band Maximum the Hormone. She's a bonafide legend. ...And evidently immune to heat-stroke.
Kawakita Naomi
@@jamesholmes5164 not its not her
finally a reaction video that doesn't get paused once
I just love that the song is the Anpanman Theme. A kids anime for literary 0~7years old
Nothing like watching a drummer react to this (or a singer react to Jinjer)
@1:30 the brick emerges and drops to the floor.
Love the new animal crossing x doom slayer collab
I read somewhere that inside the suit is the unholy (holy to me) spirit of metal. 🎉😅
When he went into the blast beats I lost it.
"that was really good"
- Colby april 19th 2023
Btw it isnt niaango how its said. Its nyan-go as its spelt. The nyan is said fast withoit much pronunciation for the lettrrs.
If it was on a more private channel we would have 50 drummers claiming it's them. Lol...
Pretty crazy video. Now this was a true reaction video. It's great that WTF can be interpreted several ways.
It was fun though.
What are the odds the person's real name is Barney ?
Thanks Colby !
I always send people the original video when trying to prove the point of "dont judge a book by it's cover."
There's an alternate version of the video where they added a transcription of what Nyango Star _actually played._
Yoinked from the original video:
- This is a kids concert, why double bass pedals?
- *Don't worry about it*
As someone has been listening to The Berserker since 2000, I knew it was going to be sick.
RIGHT TURN, CYLDE! 🤘
This video cracks me up every time man 😂
My favorite reaction yet!
It is simply an apple, enchanted by the spirit of a dead cat.
What more is there to say?! 🙃
The real secret is that there is no one in the costume.
According to Japanese custom, there is no costume
Behold my spirit animal
I believe his name is Neil Peart. He did some part time drumming when he wasn’t working his other job.
"Doesn't look overqualified to me!"
*Moments later*
"uhhhhmm"
Nah Bro Flabbergasted 💀💀😭😭
the drummer from the band Maxim the Hormone. they shred
No... one was born in Aomori Prefecture, the other was born in Tokyo Prefecture. Over 500 km of northern Honshu lies between those two prefectures.
The universe needs a drums battle between Nyango Star and el Estepario Siberiano!
The drummer is a GIRL!! She's killing it!
now imagine a korn song in this costume
Greyson Nekrutman playing 'Caravan' in that costume, just drowns halfway through.
anime music goes HARD.

Yes and we all know who he is in the business.
"😐 This doesn't seem very overqualified 😐..."
Ten seconds later: "what😨"
From: “It’s cute”, to:”What…?”
にゃんごすたーいつ見てもおもろいわ😂
Takes his costume off and it's El Estepario Siberianio.
🤘🏻👌🏻
He aint no Steve Moore, Steve was a former metal drummer before he became This Drummer is at the Wrong Gig, he uses all the sticks and tricks while playing hard like this. Imo. But I'm a diehard fan of Steve.❤
They're in a band that's all mascots
"He docent seem that over qualified to me" ~ Famous last words
The stubby arms makes this even better
If this was an Olympic sport
"He doesn't seem that over qualified to me"
Me: Wait for it... waaaiiiit for it.... xDDDD
Спасибо за реакцию, друг
Nyango star has a band called Charamel he ad 4 oher mascots play a good metal
You are looking at it and you ask "What just happened" Some people cant be helped...
This is the first time I actually paid attention to the song even though I have seen this countless times. I just realized it is the Anpanman march, and I feel so stupid for not realizing it before. lol.
Here before people start to say that Nyago Star might be Nao Kawakita
I watch this probably once a month
Evgeny Novikow from Slauther of Previal
Have you done This Drummer is at the Wrong Gig?
Yep!
SO, HE IS NOT OVERQUALIFIED EH?? EAT YOUR WORDS.
Nao Kawakita is believed to be behind the costume.
Best catapple drummer ever
I can hear death AND thrash metal un this drums
I think the dude is a small town farmer! Young guy that is now a national mascot for his city! And rightly so!
Now check out Dorothea Taylor, worth it!
:3 Classic video he's reacting.
i have a theory that this is really the drummer from Tool playing a prank on everyone.
It's the batterist of Maximum the Hormone in reality 😀
some day Dave Lombardo met Hello Kitty and this happened
interesting the video has 168k views and he has 168k subs
Apple Cat came to chew bubblegum and play drums…
Tellatubbies need a band
What is the name of that drummer anyway?
Pure Pog
Nyango Star is Great
Famous last words
