In one of Jet’s recent videos, he eats whale curry!
Before you jump on him, though know that eating whale in Japan is generally not considered to be bad. Having been tricked into eating it, though, I can say that it is not so tasty.

I love Jet Daisuke and Korg!
Both are refreshing rays of sunlight in otherwise dreary Japan

@Peter – the R3 isn’t that heavy. I pick it up and solo on it one handed during our last song when we play live.

… okay so i do it at home by myself too.

:) you’re welcome & thank you as well.

anyways, i think we will all agree both that jet daisuke deserves the publicity (he’s a great reviewer and his youtube page is filled with other equally entertaining korg and other digital product reviews) and also i think that he is doing a great service to provide early exposure to the product:

truth be told i’m quite the newcomer to digital audio production and it was my noobness that inspired me to scour the internet for as much info on the xl as possible (only after i spent two hours at best buy last week playing with a microkorg that had newly been set up for demo).

i’ve actually decided to place a pre-order for an xl myself and i think just the anticipation has me almost as excited as jet the day he received his.

make sure to check out his vlog product review page as well:

http://www.shobizuba.com/

i really like his presenting style and i’d love to get him a larger us-based audience- so spread the links if you’ve got friends that would enjoy.

as soon as i receive my xl, expect to see a review and plenty of additional media (pictures, videos, & additional online resources).

in the mean time..

Great videos. I love the yakitori song. The lyrics are about as silly as you might expect. “Eat yakitori, eat chicken-onion yakitori, eat…”

The Microkorg XL keys are not full-sized, but improved. According to Korg:
Our new Natural Touch Mini Keyboard is firm and easy to play, inspiring confidence and greatly enhanced expressivity. The proportion of the black keys to white keys has been adjusted to make chording easier, and the improved touch allows rapid-fire phrases. The â€œwaterfallâ€ keys project a feeling of quality, and also make it easier to play glissandos, smears and slides.

All of his videos need to be subtitled. I love his enthusiasm towards everything.
