Japanese comedian fails to win third straight world air guitar title

August 25th, 2008 by James

The World Air Guitar Championship was held in Finland over the weekend, and Japanese comedian Ochi Yosuke (pictured above) lost to an American performer with the stage name of Hot Lixx Hulahan:

Wearing tight black pants, satin shirt and elaborate armbands, Hulahan — real name Craig Billmeier — crushed his competition on Friday night to capture the world air guitar championships in Finland’s western city of Oulu.

“The two-year reigning Air Guitar champion, Japan’s Ochi ‘Dainoji’ Yosuke had to give in to the overwhelming new champion,” organisers said in a statement that saluted Hot Lixx’s “impeccable timing and overall solid performance.”

Here’s a video of the winning performance (from NTV):

Yosuke’s win last year was supposedly pretty questionable. He won the judges favor, but someone else won the “Fan Favorite” competition. I like Yosuke’s style, but his first entry was his best.
