Naoto Kaiho @ Ichikawashi-bunnkakaikann

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

Today I had a hall concert of Naoto Kaiho at Ichikawa-shi Bunkakaikan in Chiba.

He is musical star ! So most songs on the set list are musical song.

I hadn’t played kinda musical songs ever actually.

At the first rehearsal day(day before yesterday ) , I got music charts and we played at sight . I even didn’t know songs too ….

The songs are totally different with that I normally play. Change the rhythm many times ,change the tempo many times , there are many complicated “rit “, I was confused, so I practiced by myself all day for understanding songs after that.

Now actually I’m really into it because super dramatic !!

I was very nervous but I could relax after it was started .

Anyway the vocalist Naoto Kaiho is fantastic . I got shocked when I hear his voice for the first time. His voice must be one in a billion !!

Appreciate for the good opportunity .

With the guitar player Osato-san ; )!! Thanks for teaching me a lot !

After the concert . I couldn’t help my appetite …..

Curry ; )

See ya!!!

Buffet : )

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

Today I went take a vocal lesson .

I was checking Juna and The Sauce first show ‘s video Yesterday .

I thought especially vocal is my weak point .
My target should be “ not being a bass guitar player who can sing too . Being a bass guitar player who can sing too AS A VOCALIST “

After the vocal lesson I headed to Hilton Hotel in Shinjuku for performance.

Actually it is my first time to perform at hotels .

Thanks for involving me guys : ) !!

Healthy life….

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

Recently I was slacked about everything . Especially about the health .

My schedules were so hectic , so I couldn’t afford to think of myself . My life style was not good these days . Like I take 3 cup of coffee a day (for me it’s not good thing, which means I count on coffee too much without sleeping ), I eat only doughnut a day(That was only sometime tho. this i.e. because no time.) , something like that.

So , I thought I should take foods which can make my body better !!! I meant , not only snacks lol

Today’s Juna ’s Kitchen !!

・Stir fried meat and vegetables (potato , onions ,beans )

・Miso soup which has to-fu and seaweed

I can cook only something easy when I have lots on my plate….

It was still nice ; ) I used olive oil / pepper salt as seasonings .

I usually upload my cooking picts on my instagram’s story . Check it out ; )

In July , in my opinion my schedules were kinda packed but seems like my schedules are totally full this month !!!

The reason is that I’m gonna perform with new artist that I haven’t played with ever .

Anyway I have to keep to have my good motivation whole month !!! Because I wanna play better !!

See ya!!!!
