Haven't heard Kikakin before, but I've loved Nonstop (Marquese Scott) since I saw this video. I'm glad he's getting a lot of (online) play these days.

Well suited for each other and fun. But I was surprised that I was almost watching the beatboxer more. Maybe just because he was more brightly colored.

OK, I am fully convinced that half of Skrillex's success comes from Nonstop's dancing on youtube vids. Man, the guy is a giant, unbelievably good. Watch! You won't believe, but it's true - no FX, just him dancing. Awesome.

Hikakin? Umm. I am embarrassed for him, all the way over here. How the hell can your accent pollute a simple sustained note? How? Hikarin does it. He also completely loses time in a few places... and then he does his drop. Oh. For. Christ's. Sake. (wowWOWwow!).

Yeah, not very impressed by Hikakin, but Nonstop is jawdropping. His slow motion movements are so precise I would not be able to tell it wasn't in slow motion if I wasn't provided any context.
