The “World’s Youngest Professional Guitarist” (Guinness says so) is Japanese. So why is this only Yuto Miyazawa’s second gig in Japan? Apparently Yuto has been too busy touring with Ozzy Osbourne and smoking up North American TV studios (Late Night with Conan O’Brian, etc.) with his pyrotechnic guitar wizardry. The 12-year-old cites guitarists Eric Clapton and Randy Rhoads as major influences and will be slaying a Roppongi audience with classic rock and metal standards performed note-for-note.
