39. 1:55suppose. Scorpion. It's like this is the

41. 1:59>> TV 25.
42. 2:02>> Sorry.
43. 2:03>> TV 26.
44. 2:05[laughter]
45. 2:07>> Are you ready?
46. 2:17Oh, you know, I can tell that's sick
47. 2:19live.
48. 2:22I didn't hear the texture, but I can
49. 2:23tell this is sick. I can just tell that
50. 2:25that's strong.
51. 2:43Someone around there,
52. 2:47I think.
53. 2:55He's loading.
54. 3:04Oh, this is so weird. I love it.
55. 3:09Look at the edit. Ow.
56. 3:13Amazing intro.
57. 3:41Stop.
58. 3:54>> [clears throat]
59. 3:56>> Oh, it's just so creative.
60. 3:59This is so creative. This is coming from
61. 4:02a person that can like uh interpret it,
62. 4:05you know? Like I've definitely improved
63. 4:08over the years at interpreting as much
64. 4:10as possible, but sometimes things do
65. 4:13catch me out and I can't even understand
66. 4:15it. But that doesn't matter because that
67. 4:18doesn't mean it's uh not exceptional.
68. 4:22This is exceptional. This is
69. 4:23unbelievable. What a great choice.
70. 4:26Rewind.
71. 4:39Spicy.
72. 4:43Take a stab. The poison.
73. 4:58He's killing it.
74. 5:05killing it.
75. 5:07What a what a story.
76. 5:11What a performance. [laughter]

89. 7:04[laughter]
90. 7:09What?
91. 7:12[laughter]
92. 7:17collapse is not so sure.
93. 7:26Scorpion. Scorpion. Scorpion. Scorpio.
94. 7:31Scorpion.
95. 7:33Scorpion.
96. 7:35Scor.
97. 7:37[cheering]
98. 7:47[cheering]
99. 7:48[applause]
100. 7:57Wow.
101. 8:00Flipping Maji Oishi. Yeah,
102. 8:04Scorpion. That is fire. That's proper
103. 8:07beatbox face music, isn't it? Wow. All
104. 8:12right, then.
105. 8:14Where do I even start? Okay.
106. 8:17So, when I observe this,
107. 8:21I can admit that it has its flaws. It
108. 8:25always does in my opinion
109. 8:28when it's Kaji,
110. 8:31but it just that's what's making him
111. 8:33different to the rest. And I really I
112. 8:36really like it. I really respect it. Um,
113. 8:40okay. So, weird English words here. He
114. 8:44is rash. I think I might have said this,
115. 8:46but he is he's rough. He's rough. He's
116. 8:49rash. He's impulsive. He is unfiltered
117. 8:54is another good word. When I listen to
118. 8:57Kaji, I listen to many things that if I
119. 9:01thought about doing it, I would never
120. 9:04because I don't think it's good enough.
121. 9:06But when he does it, it's good enough.
122. 9:09And do you know what used to be that for
123. 9:10me? When I used to walk around in um in
124. 9:13school, I used to go it's a sound I
125. 9:17could do.
126. 9:20I'd found that sound out, right? And I
127. 9:24and I also beatboxed, but I never used
128. 9:26that sound in beatbox because I thought
129. 9:28that's just a noisy monster mush sound.
130. 9:31I'd never do that in beatboxing.
131. 9:34What about
132. 9:37uh and then when I found the beatbox
133. 9:39scene, there was a lot of that started
134. 9:42coming into play.
135. 9:44And then all of a sudden I was like,
136. 9:45"Wow, that's a sound you can use."
137. 9:47Here's another one.
138. 9:49>> I could do that sound before I was in
139. 9:52the beatbox scene.
140. 9:54>> Never thought that would be found in
141. 9:55beatbox. And here I am going,
142. 9:58you know, it's funny. So weird sounds
143. 10:02work.
144. 10:04Now, I can also admit when I'm hearing
145. 10:06Kaji do three out of 10 ideas in theory,
146. 10:10they're seven out of 10 in the result.
147. 10:14But they're not just seven out of 10,
148. 10:15they're like nine out of 10 because he's
149. 10:17loud and confident and thematic. So,
150. 10:21when he goes
151. 10:24like these are impulsive rash things
152. 10:26like high-pitch lip roll with a big
153. 10:28massive inward kick, I wouldn't do that.
154. 10:32It's not traditionally clean or
155. 10:35smooth,
156. 10:38but he does it and it adds to his
157. 10:40character. I like it. And then he
158. 10:42smooths away with the throat base.
159. 10:45Again, another thing. And it's full of
160. 10:47this is like
161. 10:49I would never do it. It's not clean
162. 10:51enough. It's not filtered enough. But he
163. 10:53doesn't care. And he's proving it wrong.
164. 10:56He's like, it's like the antithesis of
165. 10:58correct beatboxing.
166. 11:00That's what this is. But he does it so
167. 11:03well. And I commend that. I commend that
168. 11:08because
169. 11:09he also has a good 70% portion of his
170. 11:13beatboxing that is undeniably and
171. 11:16undisputably
172. 11:18originality and S tier. Like this
173. 11:22thing that he does,
174. 11:26this kind of flow and this
175. 11:35this all this stuff
176. 11:38amazing. But again, and that stuff again
177. 11:42is like something I would consider no
178. 11:44like so average. I would never do it,
179. 11:47but he does it and it's great. And I
180. 11:49just Yeah, I got to say I'm impressed
181. 11:51with the choices and how he makes them
182. 11:54so good. It's so original that I can't
183. 11:58even
184. 11:59put on a measure how original to do that
185. 12:02is. And that's because some of his ideas
186. 12:05are staring in plain sight.
187. 12:09But no one's choosing them.
188. 12:11He is. That's why it's so original. I
189. 12:14have to give respect to it. Honestly, I
190. 12:15do. Right. The drops are massive. The
191. 12:19intro was unbelievable. And I love the
192. 12:23theme of it all. It sounds great to me.
193. 12:25These
194. 12:28all these textures of these strong
195. 12:29tongue bases. So strong, so prominent,
196. 12:32so exciting for the crowd and just
197. 12:36constantly tricks everywhere. What an
198. 12:38amazing piece. Seriously. Okay, so if I
199. 12:42pull up my list, this one is so first so
200. 12:46far. Not it's not close to Exalos.
201. 12:50Exalos is now second on my list. Look,
202. 12:53but there's a gap. There is a gap.
203. 12:56There's a gap. And I have Kaji right up
204. 12:59there. Now, I do know an elimination to
205. 13:03come. And spoiler alert, I've checked it
206. 13:06out on video. I'll explain why in uh
207. 13:08soon. It's coming out very soon. But for
208. 13:11now, this one is top. I wonder if it
209. 13:15remains that way. I definitely expect it
210. 13:18to be in the top three or no doubt about
211. 13:20it. Uh, I I think I don't I I We'll see.
212. 13:24But I I get vibes this one is extremely
213. 13:26high rated. Let's see what the judges
214. 13:28thought.
215. 13:35[laughter]
216. 13:37Wow. There you go.
217. 13:40Three first places and two second. While
218. 13:43there's a one one placement fluctuation
219. 13:46and that's obviously calculating to be
220. 13:48first. There's no other way
221. 13:50mathematically. So for that Kajji,
222. 13:53honestly, congrats, mate. Amazing set.
223. 13:57Extremely strong.
224. 14:00Proper Toyo Toko. Proper.
225. 14:03Uh, and any more words? Well, I mean, I
226. 14:06just love Kaji. What a guy. I love him.
227. 14:08Proper cool dude. Had some great
228. 14:09memories with Kaji. Can't wait for more.
229. 14:12Sick guy. Sick elimination. Proper
230. 14:15proper impressed.
231. 14:18Scorpion. Come on. All right. Cheers for
232. 14:21that, guys. See you later.
