What has always impressed me with Junna, beyond her obvious talent, is that she is having fun. Most drummers, especially ones doing covers of pieces like this, look very stressed out, but she's just enjoying herself and doing what she likes to do.

It's interesting to see the dichotomy from Western to Eastern drummers, or musicians in general. A lot of Western musicians are so worried about messing up the song that they always look so focused and serious, whereas most Eastern musicians I've seen appear to have more self-confidence in themselves and their abilities and are able to actually look like they're having fun with it. Even look at Gee Anzalone's (the drummer for DragonForce) reaction to Junna's video. He says he loves seeing someone having fun because he's so used to seeing people covering the song and looking serious. Yet at the same time, he looks so serious when drumming as well.

Nothing wrong with drummers who have a big drum kit, but I've always been impressed by people who can make a five piece kit sound just as good

Love her style. It’s very similar to the kinetic athletic style of Yoshiki from X Japan who I know is one of her influences. Their drumming sound is similar, too. She’s great!

I read an article with her she said she didn't start playing drum until she was 15. She is 20yrs old now and has been in the band Trident.

I dont know anything about drums, all I know is I love her

Gee Anzalone (drummer of Dragonforce) has said this is his favorite cover and easily one of the best.
