Rock ..

 

 

Hey guys !! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita !

 

Today I had a rehearsal of a flute singer song writer called Akane Tajima .

We will have a gig at Shimokitazawa on June 5 th .
The guitar player Katoken is really good at backing vocal ! I respect him.

Recently it’s getting warm , so I’m already wearing summer clothes .

I hope my ass was bigger ….😢 I’ll keep working out .

 

After that I had a performance at Giga bar Tokyo , Minami-Aoyama.

 

I don’t think I often play kinda hard-rock music except Giga bar . So I wanna share the video that I’m playing deep purple ‘song called Burn !!!

Makuhari~

 

 

 

 

Hey guys!! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita!! 

 

Today I had a rehearsal at Makuhari , Chiba.       Wow quite far from my place !!lol  But the studio was nice, so it doesn’t matter .

My friend the guitar  player Luke Cuerden from Sydney Australia invited me to perform together , appreciate  : ) !  

Today’s highlight  is that he was wondering how I got visa to move to Japan…lol 

The member had wrong information about me that I’m Filipina .. Yes, most peeps  misunderstand so. Even when I was in the Philippines for English studies , many local taxi drivers talked to me in Tagalog because they thought I’m a resident … It’s no problem tho ’cause I like Philippines   ; )

Anyway we will play 9 songs on the gig.  The sound was so cool ; ) I’m happy that I could play with you guys.

member 

Guitar & Vocal : Toni Czaikowsky

Guitar : Luke Cuerden

Keyboard : Michael Fogarty

Bass : Juna Serita

Drums : Mike Marrington

 

It was such a long day but I enjoyed .

 

See ya !!

Flier

 

 

 

Hey guys !! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita !!

 

Today I cooked dinner for the first time in a while . I usually eat out .

〜Juna’s Kitchen 〜

・stir fried vegetables

・miso soup which has tofu and seaweed

・cooked salmon and beans

I had lived by myself for 4 years but I felt lonely to eat dinner  alone at home . No prob tho ..

I hope my grandma will get better soon and come back home . ( she is hospitalized now..)

 

BTW!

 

Today I have one thing that I wanna get the word out !!

That is about Juna Serita Band !!!

I created a flier for our first gig  !! So cool , isn’t it ?? I might have a sense 😍

Well , I wanna introduce about the member !!

First , the drummer Kenny Mosley !!

I met him for the first time when I was 19 years old . A guitar teacher in university invited me to play together at the gig , then the drummer was him !

Actually I couldn’t understand English at all and Kenny don’t understand Japanese ( I doubt him tho.. lol ) . So we just talked only a little before playing together like Hello, nice to meet you , that’s all .

However when the performance started , I got shocked !! He is the kick-ass drummer !!  Since then, I’ve thought I wanna play with him more and more !!

 

Next , about the guitar player Ryan Carter!

We actually got to know each other very recently .  He can handle all genre , not only the guitar , but also other instruments like bass, drums , keyboard , etc…! Especially he is great at bass guitar , I got so jealous when I heard it lol.

When I had sessions with him , I felt he makes songs more attractive. Kind of an arranger !  So I came up him first when I form my own band !!

 

To be honest , I’m a little weak . Basically negative thinking .  Therefore when I ask them to play with me in my band , I was so afraid ….

But they said  “ It would be my pleasure to play in your band “ . ; (!!  How sweet they are !!

 

I can’t wait to perform with them !

Anyway please book your schedule now for my band’s gig on July 1st !!

 

See ya !!

the Queen of Funk….?

 

 

Hey guys!! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita!!

 

Did you guys already check it out ??

New collaboration with the young talented  musicians !!

Good Day For The Blues – Sina feat. Emma Marie

⭐︎Vocals & Guitar – Emma Marie

⭐︎Bass Juna Serita

⭐︎Lead Guitar Andrei Cerbu

⭐︎Keyboards – Rick Benbow

⭐︎Drums – Sina

Written by Emma Marie, arranged by YourSoundTube

 

That’s soooooo  cool right !?  Now I’m watching the video again and again!! lol Perhaps I’m one of the huge fans . They all are fantastic !!

the vocalist Emma Marie : When I got her live performance video before the recording, I was so shocked like “who is the dope blues girl !! “.  I’m pretty sure she’ll be a blues legend lady in near future.

the Lead Guitar Andrei Cerbu: I collaborated with him on Sine’s video before , and the style was hard rock. That’s also pretty cool but I do love his blues guitar ♪♪ Surely his guitar is screaming like a voice !!

the drummer Sina : Sina can  handle everything much more than me. When I first heard her drums, I was watching the video too. So I was thinking  “wow amazing girl !! How has she got the great chops at a young age …!? ” but when I started recording for her and listened her sounds  without video,  I fell in love with her more and more . Even though I don’t see her appearance , my hart got full of the groove by the drums ..!!! 　Sex / cute looking / age don’t even matter for her , she is exactly the groove maker .

 

About my bass sounds, I chose the Fender jazz bass as usual .

but the sound is so fat !! Isn’t it ?

The reason is I used pre-amp this time.

MBT-custom .  I just started to use this very recently but it’s already my most favorite one.  Anyway if you didn’t check the video out yet, please check my bass sound ,too ; ) !

 

I also read the comments a little  ! I’m so glad they like the video !! Every comments make me to have a good motivation (^_^)

I found an interesting comment .

”　there’s Juna – the Queen of Funk!　”

・

・

・

wooooooooooow

I’ve never thought I am !! but sounds so cute ♡♡　Yes I wanna be “the Queen of Funk “!! yey yey!!

 

See ya!!

One day , the sax player Mike texted me like ” Guess we are playing together on Friday lol”.

I couldn’t understand what he says  because I’ll have a show but I couldn’t see his name on the flyer and he didn’t come to the rehearsal .

So I was confused whether I got double booking or not…lol

According to him, he was  invited to play together “just now” when we were chatting .(Probably it was beginning of the week )

I’m so happy that I could play with this dope sax player again ♪

Today’s setlist

Monique makes audience to dance !! She is the great entertainer without question . And Haruka leads the performance always . I really enjoyed .30 minutes was too short for us tho ; )!

A girl talked to me after the performance  , and she seemed interested in my instruments.

Juna 「Do you wanna try ?」

A girl 「I can’t !! but I wanna play the trumpet…♡」

While pointing Mike’s saxophone …..lol

How cute she is♡♡

 

 

And at the night we went to a live bar for disco night !! I do love dancing　♡　yey yey ♡

recording

 

 

 

Hey guys!! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita!!

 

Today I had a recording with the drummer Emi  Yonakubo at GOOD-DAY studio for an artist .

It’s been almost one month since we had a gig together . When I and Emi were in Los Angels, I saw her almost everyday , so something feels strange today .lol

Anyway always fun to play with her ; )

 

This is the producer Gary Scott.  His direction was so kind.

We did backup vocal,too .  I do love his worm voice  ; )!

Today’s my gear , only this except bass guitar .

I didn’t use amp but there is no problem because of this great pre-amp. It’s so helpful. MBT-custom.

I really enjoyed the recording . I can’t wait to hear the end result  !

With the singer Yuka ; )!!

I might come to record one more song next week .  Only  for backing vocal recording or both backing vocal  and bass recording. : )

 

 

By the way I’ll have a concert at Gajoen chapel tomorrow .

The music is reggae,soul, funk, jazz, etc…

They aren’t charging, so feel free to come up !!

 

 

See ya!

Lab.@Fussa Cafe de Noel

 

 

 

Hey guys !! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita!!

Actually I knew  a bad news last night… My grandmother fell at home and got femoral fracture .. Then went to see a doctor with ambulance . When I got a call about it from my aunt , I was so shocked ….

Therefore  this morning I visited her in hospital . She looked fine much more than I expected but seemed she feels really painful …

I live with her this 2 years . I think  I and her are close . However  I usually  come back to home after midnight like 2 AM and I leave  around midday  because of work . 

So actually  we didn’t  have much time to see and talk to each other but  now I’m missing her so much … I miss her loud voice ….

I hope she will come back to home sooner . (She is too strong and smart, so I’m pretty sure she’ll be back soon. lol)

 

 

 

After that I had a gig at the Cafe De Noel in Fussa,Tokyo with a piano trio band called Lab.  !

Here is the drummer Adam’s hometown !  It’s my first time to come there, I like it!!  peaceful place ; )

Today’s set list 

1 Cenozoic 

2 Natural Selection 

3 Loss of Heterozygosity 

4 Genetic Drift 

5 Evolution 

Perhaps you guys think it’s  ONLY 5 SONGS . However  our each song is over 10 minutes .lol

It is still 2nd show for Lab. . Definitely we’re getting better compared with the last gig !!! Yeeey ; ) 

I have some videos of today’s our performance , I’ll  upload some of them on my SNS if the sound is  nice ♪

Our next gig is not decided yet actually  but we’ll be hosting at jam session in Ikebukuro Somethin’ Jazz Club on June 14th. 

 

I’m waiting for you guys to jam together!!

See ya!!
