Today I had a show of TOKYO BRASS STYLE ! Actually the drummer MiMi had another appointment and she wasn’t available . So today’s drummer is Yuriko Seki from TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI !
We performed in a shopping mall called my plaza which has a high ceiling ,so you know… it was really difficult to make nice bass sounds; ( I gotta work on the problem .
Anyway thanks for coming everybody . TOKYO BRASS STYLE with a drummer Yuriko must be kinda fresh ! you guys are lucky .

Today I had a rehearsal for a gospel singer called TiA !
She is Japanese but moved to NY , and now came back to Japan for a while .
She is inspired by gospel . She won No.1 McDonald’s Gospel Fest and appeared on NY times , chosen as one of the most worldwide Japanese this year .
This time, the backup musicians are actually only 3 people includes me . Feels like I’m getting used to it … lol Just always trying to work a little more than my task. Not only the bass guitar , but also backing vocal as much as possible ’cause her songs need many voices ! lol
Anyway , I’m excited about the show , We’re gonna have 3 days , and the guest sax player is different each day .
See ya!!

Hey guys !! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita !!
Today I had a performance for a singer song writer MEAJYU .
I’ve performed with her once before , but today is a little bit different situation ‘cause this is “ acoustic show “ .
The backup musician was only 3 of us , piano, bass guitar , drums .
However I never felt like the sound is missing something . I think this is just simple but best . : )
At the end of setlist , MEAJYU sang new song which is about moving to Tokyo from country side .
You know , I’m also originally country girl , so I can understand her feeling ,pressure ,etc as well.
But she never show her uneasiness , and always try taking care of people around her . That admired me so much .
She is the greatest .
Thanks for having me ! I’m always happy to work with you guys .
See ya !!

Today I had a rehearsal as a percussionist from the morning ! lol
I’ve never expected like this but I’m gonna debut this end of year as a professional percussionist !!!lol And hopefully the day won’t end my career as a percussionist …lol
It’s actually fun . I think sometimes should more try the other instruments.

Today I had a rehearsal of a singer song writer called Meajyu.
It’s been a year I played with her ; ) !
She is not only a great singer , but also warm person . I kinda learned how to act to backup musicians as a main artist from her because she is always being sweet to us . I respect that.
btw if you still consider to come her solo show in Dec 5th , I’m sorry to say but it’s already sold out ; (!
I’m looking forward to seeing you guys!
See ya!
