Beatbox Daichi
The best beatboxer I've seen - have a listen and you should be impressed.
Daichi is 18 years old and this is his entry for the YouTube BeatBox Championships.
And his previous appearance on TV below.
Confession - I beatbox a bit too (just a bit) ^^; Folks at the last Tokyo CGM Night would have heard me.
Maybe enter the championships as BeatBox Trooper? ^^;;;

he's pretty good, how long would one have to practice to reach a similar level, or to realize that they are really good at it...?

I agree. Not to put Daichi down or anything, but I saw Joseph do his stuff before and i have to say that he's on a higher level of beatboxing.

Yeah, Daichi is O.K. , but not even as good as AFRA, who already famous in Japan ? ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtCjiC3cEJw&fmt=18 ) that CM comercial is at least 5 years old .
Of course there are THOUSANDS of beat-boxers in Japan, as hip-hop is more popular there than here in the states.
Also, NEITHER of these guys is as amazing as RAHZEL, the best beat-boxer in the world... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaMcQ-FWstc&fmt=18 .
If Daichi is amazing to you, you probably havent seen many beat-boxers in the last 10 years !!
A Real RocknRolla
yep Daichi is good but nothing compares to the godlike skillz of the "Godfather of Noyze" Rahzel!
I do things
Whether one has seen many beatboxers in the past 10 years or not is of little import. There may be people with better skills out there but it doesn't make Daichi any less amazing.

While I can make the sounds, I don't have the sense of rhythm that beatboxers have...hence, no beatboxing from me... ^^;

Hmm why do I have a feeling that someone's gonna say "my friend can beatbox like that with his farts" ? ^^;
Student
Not my friend...and not really farting (well actually yes, with hands)...but for all the rockers out here:

Oh wow, this is brilliant. Daichi has potential! Good luck to him for the world championship. I could never grasp how to beatbox properly, but I can beat boxes though.. if you get what I mean..
Student
Has a poor mixing technique he needs to do an advanced mixing rather than the basic mixing which is blowing through your thumb, nothing compaired to Fernandinhio, Felix Zenger etc... still good though

I love the poll results
Do you beatbox? 93% no
I like how the kid can do the low bass at the same time...awesome.

Nice.... this puts other beatboxers i have heard to shame!

That's pretty solid--the kid has skills. By the way, you can count me in that 90-plus percent range that cannot beatbox--I have tried and it sounds like I'm in pain.

This actually isn't that good. I mean, of course - it's good, but there are a lot of better ones. I have a friend here in Estonia who could easily be the same or even better then this dude. Nevertheless - it's good, surely I could never do it (I beatbox just a little, too).

Sometimes it doesn't even look or sound like it came from his mouth. It's pretty amazing what he can pull off. I can't even keep a beat on my own..

Someone at work was talking about this guy today, and I had never heard of him before. Extremely impressive. I wonder what it feels like to know that you are better at beat boxing than any american that does it for a living. He's probably going to end up in some american hip hop video one of these days.
???Confused???
I didn't think humans were capable of producing sounds like that...

Me neither. o.o

I've heard someone that was really good too. I would say they were about the same although that guy was a bit more exciting since he did a wider range of things.

I looked around youtube for other beatboxers to compare Daichi with, looking at the videos with millions of views, and all I can say is Daichi is one of the best. He has some major skills, I can only imagine how much better he is gonna get if he keeps working on it. ^_^

Search for roxoloops, Rahzel or beardyman, you're missing out if you haven't (゜Д゜)
Student
Rahzel is the king of beatbox!
Student/Busboy/Otaku
http://moosebro.wordpress.com/
I still say Daichi is pretty good though. Rahzel is kind of boring, Beardyman is awesome, and roxorloops is just...WOW, he has serious voice control. O.O
Drug testing
Hehe see ^_^ I'm not saying Daichi's no good, he's not "that" impressive as you heard <(*ΦωΦ*)>ニャｗｗｗ

i'm impressed hope he wins the contest.

Thanks for the post, Danny. Amazing! How does he make those all sounds with his mouth? He must have spent hours and hours learning all that, not to mention getting the rythm down.
