Meet the Joyous String Quartet.



So for today's musical dose of cute, I give you these awesome kids calling themselves the Joyous String Quartet, doing a spirited rendition of Katy Perry's "Fireworks" in color-coordinated coolness.

You may recognize 8-year-old Justin Yu, the moppy-haired kid rocking the cello, who has appeared and performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Because geishas will apparently love your ass unconditionally. Get it?
