Title: Japanese Crystal Ball Performer (Contact Juggling)
Added: Apr 13, 2009

Duration: 5:47
Description:
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. Here's his youtube page:http://www.youtube.com/user/okotanpeAlso, here's his official webpage:http://okotanpe.comHere's where you can buy a crystal ball pouch like Pakkun:http://welovegreen.ocnk.net/product-list/20If you're interested in contact juggling, check out this online community:http://www.contactjuggling.orgHope this info helps!

May 14, 2012 - Fushigi ruined contact juggling in the public's eyes. I almost can't even bring myself to learn to contact juggle because everyone will say "woah is that fushigi?!" Makes me sick.
youraveragemagician Says:
May 15, 2012 - Yeah...they aren't bad for practicing, but for performing, I easily prefer a real contact juggling ball. I have a couple Fushigis for practicing purposes, and they just don't look right. None of the ones I have are balanced- it's very obvious when you try some of the moves that the center ball isn't in the center. That and when performing it, everyone says "you can fushigi?" No! Get it right!

TopherLeung Says:
May 18, 2012 - No, that's not his fault. That's the "public's" fault for being ignorant. And besides, you shouldn't let those sorts of comments bother you especially if you enjoy what you're doing.
