Ochi "Dainoji" Yosuke, the Kobayashi of Air Guitar Championships

Here's his 2006 Championship Performance:

In 2007, he successfully defended his crown with this gem:

The smashing of his air guitar is what put him over, IMHO.

This guy is awesome, and a national hero in Japan, and now my hero. :patriot:

1. Air guitar mastery isn't as easy as it may appear.
I'm insanely jealous of his awesome talent.

2. None of 'em will ever touch Miri Park
Her technique was a bit off in 2004 — too much arm, not enough wrist. But she made up for it with showmanship and fanTAStic legs.

She even studied the tabs so she'd be technically accurate. That gets big props from me.

But there's no one on the freakin' planet who can touch me, and never will be. Ever.
