"Dance-ish"

This is what Kenichi Ebina dubs his performance.  A bit of dance, a bit of martial arts, a bit of everything, he says.  The following video has garnered over 22 million views since its posting by America's Got Talent in June of this year.  If you're not one of the 22 million (as I was a few days ago), are you ready to join the ranks?

First off, I would like to call the judges out on their behavior: a classic example of criticizing before Ebina even had a chance to perform.  I could see the doubt in all their faces when he described his act as "dance-ish," and I'm so happy that he blew their minds with his performance!  That'll teach them to judge a book by its cover.

I still can't figure out how he did that head drop (it's been driving me crazy since I saw the video...anybody who has an idea, please leave a comment!), so it's safe to say that Ebina's performance really impressed me.  A dancer needs complete control over every minute muscle in his body to be able to perform the way Ebina does, and that level of control is astounding.  He imitates a robot so convincingly in the first section that he could have passed for an automaton.  My favorite section was the Matrix-style moves; they've always had a soft spot in my heart, even though I've never seen the movie.  Everyone can do that move to a greater or lesser degree, but I've not seen anyone do it like Ebina.  I would say that he well deserves all the views he got!
