Akihiro Yanai - truly awesome contact routine from Japan's JJF 2012.
Apologies if it's glasscock, but you have to admit it's still mindbogglingly great.

Not that amazing, he's from Japan and all Japanese can do this.
Humor aside, this is a fantastic routine! I don't do contact but there's just something about watching it that is so peaceful. Thanks for sharing!
I love the sounds the audience make. There's nothing quite like the incredulous nervous laughter of a room of jugglers.
Just fantastic.
Thanks for posting that. Sadie, you're right, those noises are great, and completely appropriate for that routine!

That was great! Really *really* nice tricks do e really well. Loved the 2ball section. I only spotted two drops, but they were so well handled I could easily have missed them :)
He turned up to Turbo Fest this year, almost completely buy surprise. He first contacted us to be in the show, but we were already full (and then some!). Then at the fest, he just arrived! He paid his own way from Japan, just to come and see it, and ended up doing something on renegade which had EVERYONE asking "was that the guy from YouTube".
Fun times.
I contacted him before asking if we were full actually :3
Sometimes errors pay off...

I really want to make it to turbo at some point. It's one of the few fests I'd be willing to fly half way round the planet for. (if doing so wasn't so expensive;)

I had no idea what glasscock meant, never seen the photo until just now.

It was arguably a bit lazy of me to use the term without context, but so many Edgizens also read b3ta that it was safe to assume that most people would understand it. I'm glad to have introduced you to the term!

I think the number of b3tans on The Edge is probably fairly small in proportion to the total number of users (although some of the more vocal posters are also b3tans)
For anyone still unclear about the meaning of "glasscock" there's a definition here: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=glasscock which has reminded me how much fun it is to muck about on urbandictionary... there goes the rest of my afternoon!
