Ayu Kang Hokkaido tour day 4

 

 

 

 

 

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

This is the 4th day of Ayu Kang Trio Hokkaido tour !

We had 2sets at a hall in Sunagawa Yu.

 

I’ve heard we’re gonna perform at mini hall but it ended up to be big one . I don’t know why suddenly it got changed ! lol

Today’s concept is not only Ayu Kang Trio, but also  the collaboration with the local bands !

At the first set, we  collaborated two songs with Kids Jazz.

They most are elementary school students . I’m so inspired they do love to take solos !! ( Well, I’m a kinda shy person. So I really respect their brave .)

The performance went really well. I enjoyed it .

After the collaboration with kids ,Ayu Kang Trio’s solo stage started.  Our original performance plan was 1 hour, but sorry.. We did 1 and half hour!! ; (

We played and talked a lot. ..lol 

At the 2md set , we collaborated with Sunagawa Brass Style!!  We actually collaborated  many songs with them !

We played Tokyo Brass Style’s songs together . I’m really admired they seriously copied TBS’s phrase !! That is great . 

You know , sometimes copying somebody’ s phrase is really complicated and can be annoying . ( In my case , I didn’t copy the previous bass player’s phrase at all… sorry. lol)

but They did great . The collaboration was so cool.

I hope we can play together again someday !

Thanks for coming everyone !!!

Many people joined 2 sets , I was worried whether their asses  feel painful or not ‘cause it took long time.

Please take care !!

 

 

 

BTW

 

TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI ‘s new video is available !

Please check it out and share if you like it !! thanks !!

 

See ya!!!

Ayu Kang Trio Hokkaido tour day 1

 

 

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

 

Now the biggest typhoon is coming to Japan.  And it got all flight on 10/12 to be cancelled .

We’re gonna fly on the day but we ended up to fly today . Early morning . I went to Haneda airport with the first train .

So our Hokkaido tour started today ! We’re in Monbetsu now.

But you know, it wasn’t planned at all. Then people in Hokkaido made an effort to book something for us  .  As a result we had two performances today .

This is the first venue called Monta No Yu.

There were only few people at first , but when we started to play , people around got interested in us.

And the drummer MiMi sang some Enka.

We all never had like this experience, but it was interesting !

When we have almost done our performance many people were seeing our show.

Thanks !!!

 

 

 

After  that , we had a performance at the another place called Holstein.

The boss of the bar was really beautiful and warm . Thanks for your sweetness.

MiMi played the electric drums but we were allowed to perform with enough  volume .

Getting comfortable to play with this member every single time.

I’m so excited with our rest of your !!!

 

See ya !

Kang Ayu Piano Trio

 

 

 

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

 

Today I had a solo show of Ayu Kang Trio at Yotsuya Moebius.

We all are the member of TOKYO BRASS STYLE . So this project is called ” Brass Style side project ” but I’m pretty sure Ayu Kang is a great pianist / keyboardist and the style is totally different with TOKYO BRASS STYLE. Even you don’t know TBS you will be able to  enjoy this performance .

Today we have a guest sax player Misaki Yamoto !

She is so cool and gave us some new essence ; ) !

We played Kan-chan’s original songs and also cover songs.

At the encore , Kan-chan played by herself (I and Mimi were just listening to it ).  The song named ALONE had a dramatic melody and I really loved it !!

I’m so happy to be involved in her trio band . Thanks .

 

 

see ya!!!

Shoka Okubo @Harajuku Crocodile

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

Today I had a gig of SHOKA OKUBO FUNKY PROJECT at Harajuku Crocodile .

member

guitar & vocal : Shoka Okubo

bass & vocal : Juna Serita

drums : Emi Yonekubo

 

It’s the first time to play with this member .

We played Shoka’s original songs and also some old school .

To be honest , I was thinking whether I should bring 4 strings today or not .  Thought today’s show I got a little bit comfortable and confident to play the 5 strings . Feels like getting used to it . ; )!!!

See ya!!

Came back to Japan

 

 

 

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

 

I came back to Japan this morning !! And till midday I had no schedule so finally went to see a doctor .

I’d been feeling painful on my arms for over three months.  This summer I was working on too many skilled songs .(Still there are some songs that I can’t handle yet tho ) Of course it needs a lot of practice, and I did it again and again . And fast anyway .. And I’m not used to playing fast , probably I was so lazy.  And suddenly I started to work on it , my arms  were nervous . That must be the reason . ( It’s  embarrassing  because I always tell my students to get the hands relaxed . lol  I’m the person who needs to be relaxed .)

Plus I didn’t really have time to rest .. I think I had full day off only 3days in 3 months . I know I work too hard but this is because I wanted to make my own album . And I’m proud that  I did  best on it  .

 

The doctor said it takes about a half year to heal  . But his job is make it shorter and he is specialist of this problem according to the internet .

Gave me the tape and taught me some exercise for the pain, and told me somethings I should care through daily habit .

Anyway , seems like I should take rest a little more ..  I’m so afraid of my future .

I just gotta fix it  ; )

 

See ya!

METAL MATSURI @ 02 Academy , Islington , London , England

 

 

 

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

This is my breakfast at the hotel .

I alway try to stay healthy especially when I’m on a tour . So I didn’t pick up any bread this time , but I saw many people have so many breads on their plate .

The  I was wondering how derizious it is . So I tried !

 

Wooooooooow it’s soooooo good !!

I might take it tomorrow too ♪

 

 

Today we performed at the metal festival called METAL MATSURI at 02 Academy Islington in London , England .

Today ‘ s setlist is all instrumental songs mostly from Rie’s new album .

Actually the sound checking for us  was quite short and we almost checked nothing … ; ( So we needed to check while we perform on the stage but it got better little bye little .

There were  Rie’s funs who came from Japan too !

We all played a lot of solo .  I really liked today’s my slap sound ; )!

Hope you guys enjoyed our performance !!

We really wanna come back to London soon ; ) !!!

See ya!!!
