Japanese Crystal Ball Performer (Contact Juggling) (05:47)
This guy was hanging out in Yoyogi park in Harajuku, Tokyo, on a Sunday afternoon. He has clearly practiced a lot! I loved the music he played during his performance. My friends and I were completely mesmerized. He has a very expressive face too, with a charming smile... it really sells the show in the end. Made me feel like a little kid.UPDATE: This video has been up for nearly a year now and I have some information that some of my viewers will appreciate. First, the juggler's name is Okotanpe - and yes he's amazing - one of my favorite memories of Japan! Second, the song that he uses in his final act is called ソレイユ (soreiyu, spelled using katakana, meaning sun, is the Japanese pronunciation of the French word "soleil", also meaning sun). It is sung by Yoshie Nakano 中納良恵. Here's a link to the video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H6JQIEAw-YThe beginning of the song is by UA (ううあ) and it comes from an old Japanese folk song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGFFYBMqdg0Here are the traditional lyrics:http://www.cameraslens.com/fatalframewiki/index.php5?title=Hiraita%2C_HiraitaI don't know exactly what size ball Okotanpe uses in this video (other users have suggested that it is 95mm - 100mm), but you're welcome to ask him.
