DJ Sara and DJ Ryusei. Sara is 8 years old. Ryusei is 5 years old. I reckon maybe those are papa's hands working the platter and fader in this clip? Also on the vinyl tip, and coming at ya outta Japan, the SOUNDWAGON.

Awesome.

Best Japanese DJ I've seen is Kentaro.

P.S. Soundwagons have been around for a while. They sound like shit, tear the hell outta your vinyl but like most stuff out of Nippon, is cool as funk.

Yeah, I'd heard of them, that is, versions from previous years, and found some mentioned here and there on the web, but there really wasn't much of interest on them to link to...

It took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on in that sound wagon video (the last link). But once I did. It was sweet.

I was watching these two a few nights ago, mesmerized. I heartily approve.

Soundwagon looks like it's got the Bose suspension.

Wait till their dad finds out that they're f*cking up his records.
They'll be scratchin' allright.

Somehow, I think it's dad that's been teaching the little rascals to fuck up his records. Either that or mom's a DJ.

Thanks for proving my point that even a 5 -year old could do this garbage.

Well, wfc, happy to have been of service! Millions of enthusiastic listeners and fans of the arts of turntablism would, of course, disagree that it's garbage, but we're each entitled to our opinions, however misguided.

As a DJ, these kids are really good for being 8 and 5 ... but damn, that hurt my ears, just in case anyone out there thinks that this is great turntablism.
