Prodigy from the East

When I was 9, I think my life consisted of toys, cartoons, liquids high in fructose and devising ways to avoid schoolwork.  Playing an axe and performing Crazy Train live wasn’t exactly a priority.   However, things are a bit different for 9 year old Yuto Miyazawa.  At a very young age, he managed to master an instrument that still exceeds him in size.  While he still lives a pretty normal life, he finds time to pencil in performances on variety shows on Japanese TV, and one-off concerts in the US with artists such as Les Paul.  Yuko is heading overseas again for a small number of concerts across the US.   New Yorkers can catch this youngen with his custom Randy Rhodes-style, checkered flying V guitar at Le Poisson Rouge in May 4th.  Click here for advance tickets and details.  Click the jump for a video of Yuto in action.
