This little Chinese girl, who makes an appearance here on a Japanese TV show, is really good at playing the xylophone. And she's having so much fun!
(Thanks, Cherlyn!)

I haven't seen that video in about three, or four years. What's cool is that little girls showmanship. She's all into it.

She's cute. It looks like she's wearing a Korean Honbak.

Dude, I'm amazed... yet slightly disturbed by her showmanship. It almost makes me think she's:
A) A robot... which, with the help of this website, I've learned the Japanese are very good at making.
B) An old woman's soul trapped in a child's body.
or
C) A midget playing a very entertaining diddy for us on the Xyla-ma-phone.
Nonetheless, I had to play it like 4 times to truly let it sink in (and probably give me nightmares).

Yeha, that's definitely a Korean hanbok. I had one almost just like it as a kid.

Yes, her parents have trained their moneymaker well! Just imagine how much they'll get when they ultimately sell her to a sneaker factory or brothel! Ah, gotta love third-world parenting!

The narrator kinda makes it sound like a documentary about North Korea using this girl as an example of how scary it is. ...maybe?
