Those of you who saw this post from a few days ago will remember that Okada is the professional violinist and music teacher who has made a name for himself by playing pitch-perfect renditions of various video game theme songs.
In the following video, for instance, he not only plays Donkey Kong's main theme and backing track, but plays the game's sound effects, too.
His take on Tennis (below) is even better, in a way.

It's one thing to play a pitch-perfect rendition of the Super Mario Bros. theme song on the violin ...
... but it's quite another to play the classic Famicom/NES title's sound effects alongside said tune.
Which is why the following YouTube video--featuring professional violinist and music teacher Teppei Okada--blew my mind when I first saw it this morning.
