Japanese Kids Rock

Yesterday afternoon, the tsuma found this clip on veoh.com (where she's been heading lately for Japan-related online video) that I just found on TV in Japan and she gave me the play-by-play. Highlights: the first band can't play an encore because, as their manager announces, they only practiced 2 songs. The lead guitarist in the second band gets his pick stuck but then they go all Red Hot Chili Peppers. By the way, I really miss the show this originally aired on. The host is from Kyushu, I think from Fukuoka, and is basically the Johnny Carson of Japan. This segment was expanded from a regular feature they do on talented kids doing weird stuff.
