Hey guys!! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita!!!
Today I cooked for the first time in LA .
This is Taco , when I come to the US, I do love to eat Taco!!!
but I gotta save money because this trip will be one and half month so it’s longest trip I’ve ever had in the US. So I should cook as often as possible ; ) not eat out.
Today I went to see Japanese body builder called Masa (Masashi Otani).
He used to be a pro wrestling player but changed his mind and moved to LA and became a professional body builder in LA! lol
The gym he always use has so many equipment . I even didn’t understand some of them how to use it.
After the gym, we went to Korean BBQ all you can eat .
Masa will have a competition in March , so now he is on a diet . He can eat only 300 g meats without fat . That’s why he brought weighing scale .
I was wondering why he come to all you can eat in spite of that he can’t eat at all . according to him,
Masa「I feel really happy if somebody eat a lot. because I can’t eat . I want somebody to eat instead of me .And also it will be my mental training too. 」
Wow interesting .
From the left side of the picture , Akki(Masa’s friend), me . Masa.
See ya!!!

In the morning I went toB-CORE Tokyo studio for the first time in a while ‘cause I’d been quite busy .
I took a stretch class and it was wonderful .
I had felt painful on my ass to back of the thigh for a long time . I always stretch before going to bed but I was not sure how I can stretch on the exact parts ( ass and back of the thigh ) in spite of that I was in many sports club team like karate, Kyudo, baton twirling, basketball,etc.. ( I mean, I thought I already know how to stretch my body much more than other people )
However at the lesson , the way the teacher teach me was incredible!! I exactly stretched THE POINTS .
I admire her so much . Thanks for the great lesson .
Btw the picture is a machine which can major my stress level .
According to it , my body isn’t tired AT ALL but my mind ( brain ? ) is stressed out . Lol
Anyway thanks to my mom . She is the one who made my body strong and healthy . That’s why I can really work hard .
After B-core, I went to Tokyo City Keiba for the performance of TOKYO BRASS STYLE .
We had two stages .
Today’s set list
1.21st century girl
2.cutie honey
3.We will rock you
1.Astro boy
2.Koi wa mekimeki
3.Odoru ponpokorin
Today’s my costume was blue .
Last time they gave me a red costume but it was too small for me and I event couldn’t do up the button . ; (
I woke up at 7 AM and went to the gym “B-core studio Tokyo”.
I’ve come here twice already but then I took only massages so far .
Today ’slesson is exactly WORKOUT !!!
I was actually not sure what kind of workout it is …
Yesterday Akabane-san (the therapist ) told me the program must be really hard for me .
Uhmnnn ………
Really ?
You know …. I’m chubby , but I believeI’m an athletic chubby lady.I used to learn Karate (7 years ) / basketball(3 years ) / baton twiling (4 years ) / hip hop dance (now and then ) / Kyudo (about two years ) / etc…
In fact, I still have muscles and I can move a lot .
So I actually didn’ttake what she said to me so seriously .
However ,there was information about each program . So I checked it out .
The page explains how hard program it is . Less fire mark means not hard , more relaxed or stretching .Many fire means HARD !!!!
And today’s my program is “B-core circuit training special ”. So according to the page…..
…….WTF !?
it was 5 fire . Which means it’s one of the hardest programs ; ( !!!!
Oh…. okay ….Now I can imagine how hard it is .. And she was right .
Today’s teacher is Kumi-san. She looks very fit !!
The program started from stretching ,and moved to WORKOUT .
Yes….it was absolutely hard for me …… ; (
But the teacher was also doing the same thing (actually she was doing with harder way thanours) while she teaching . How great ,isn’t she ?
After I finish one set ,I even couldn’t t afford to talk to somebody . Just tried to make my breath calm ….; (
For just an hour , we could train whole body .That ‘s the point I am really surprised .
Nowadays there are many gyms that people can go anytime , and they can workout with “their pace”.
I also have hit the gym like that and always wished to have muscle pain on the following day but it’s really hard to corner myself . And it takes time .
So I realized how fantastic B-core is . It was just an hour but I’m pretty sure tomorrow I’ll have muscle pains on my whole body .
That’s DOPE….
Well.. I asked a stuff to take photo of me .
When I checked the pic , I noticed I’m fatter in the pic than I expected . ; (
I thought like ” man… Is that me ? It’s not sexy at all!! I shouldn’t upload this picture on my blog …” . lol
I’m so fat in the pic, and I wanna hide .
but now I’m pretty sure I can be much sexier than now through B-core .
Hey guys !! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita !!
This afternoon I went to B-core Tokyo studio for my body making .(‘cause I wanna have hour grass figure 💋👙)
I arrived there a little bit early so still there was another customer .
I enjoyed the green tea and snack while waiting for my turn. Appreciate for their kindness ☆
Well, last time ( first time ) I experienced whole body massage .
It was kinda painful but also comfy . I do love it !
Today , I chose legs and boobs .
When I start dieting , the biggest point that I gotta be careful is TO NOT LOSE BOOBS ＿φ(￣ー￣ )
You know … everyone has different type , but for me , just skinny with no boobs no butt is not attractive .
So I wanna lose fat on stomach,back , arms, legs . ( Actually thick legs are alright but NOT FAT anyway ) And keep the size of boobs and butt . That’s my target.
According to the therapist called Akabane-san , the fats on my stomach / back / arms can be moved to boobs .
Which means if you are fat or chubby , it’s the best chance to make hot hour grass figure !! You should take the massage first before you go crazy on a diet . ; )
Anyway you can check the gym named “B-core Tokyo Studio “if you are interested in it .
I take nice proteins and vegetables for dinner today because I’ve been building body ; ) !
I do like Mexican food ♪ I was eating a lot during I was in Los Angels, too ; )
I asked a person to check my English original song lyrics for launching them.(Not soon , tho.)
Actually I don’t write original songs so often. The reason is that I’m usually pressed by work. I couldn’t afford to think about it. And also I couldn’t have a confidence as a songwriter when I look at myself with an objective eye.
However , I reconsidered what I really wanna do is .
Frankly speaking, I wanted to be a bass hero like my idols . Not only as a backup-musician , but also working as a solo artist.
So I ‘m gonna make original songs more . It must be my high priority …..
I have tooooooo much desire , that’s why I have too much on my plate…….
Time flies always .
See ya!!

Both we performed there as solo player.
It was the first time in a while that I perform alone.
Not only I used some backing track but also I performed just bass & vocal.
I was so nervous… maybe you could see it…lol
Today’s set list
1 Spark
2 Get the funk out ma face
3 Listen tiny voice inside my heart (original )
4 Isn’t she lovely
5 Power
6 Dishonest man(original)
7 Run for cover
The reason I chose Isn’t she lovely is that when I was in the Philippines I taught a teacher to how to play the bass guitar using that. That’s why it is my memorial song ; D!!
And I wanted to challenge one more thing from my English studies. So I translated my original song’s lyrics into Japanese to English.
This is Japanese lyrics video, but today I sang in English.
↓
You don’t know everything about me
It’s hard time to wait for you in the dark room alone
You don’t know everything about me
Never be able to say something bad about what you do
I hate to be used to prepending not to know you
I want to hold your hand and walk by your side
According to the men who have to get back for their treasure
it sounds selfish I do not mean it
You are everything you are You are everything you are
Hold me tightly break me so as not to be stuck on such you again
Oh head over heels in love Oh head over heels in love
My heart is full of you all the time I can’t breath I can’t breath
because of you
You might be angry with me
that I have lost my pierce inside of the car
You might be angry with me
I am realizing you want no-one to know that I’m his toy
How should I do to get his attention oh my
How should I do to be with the guy forever
sleep and forget all of things sunrises world would change
I can find out you then would you love me?
This time for sure
You are everything you are You are everything you are
Hold me tightly brea me so as not to be stuck on such you again
Oh cannot get out his arms Oh cannot get out his arms
I was going to say Good Bye that is why I came to see him to the same place
Sharing some skins is only the way to see him
but true and false are not easy to tell apart
I’m fed up with your excuses my words are may gonna hurt you
Please shut my mouth with your kiss
Just laugh it off as per usual
because you are dishonest man
You are everything you are You are everything you are
Hold me tightly break me so as not to be stuck on such you again
Why don’t you always call my name?
Why don’t you say to me I love you
Should I just wait for that you will do farewell to me?
You are everything you are You are everything you are
Hold me tightly break me so as not to be stuck on such you again
Oh head over heels in love Oh head over heels in love
My heart is full of you all the time
I can’t breath I can’t breath because of you
Seeing you seeing your face
I am pleased , I am pleased with just only for that
You don’t know everything about me
The small comment you say as joke confusing me so deep
You don’t know everything about me
I am just waiting for you to come and spoon me again
I’m so done with type it. lol Is it long…..? In fact this song is over 7 minutes .

Today I went to see my friend’s gig(guitar player Hideaki Yamakado & bass player Ogan chan) at Simokitazawa Garden.
When I got there ,the band that I don’t know was performing.
”MunizO-無二三”
Seemed like it is it is very noisy . I expected my ears would be injured , so I was about to get out and wait at the entrance until head liner performance(my friend’s band).
But the drums sounds caught my hart , and also his physical performance caught my eyes perfectly .
The member is guitar & vocal / guitar & vocal / drums . Trio band. There is no bass guitar player. Although ,one of guitar players were slapping almost all songs. I was wondering why he didn’t choose to play bass guitar instead of guitar. Little by little I realized. The sounds they want to express need two guitar without question.
They are badass….! I wanted to them earlier.
Holy shit.
This is their youtube video , but I’m pretty sure you never know their all attraction through only video. I recommend to see their performance in real life.
Overtime, my friend’s band M.O.E started their performance.
In my opinion, the guitar player Hide is good at rock/ metal/ and so on .. and the bass guitar player Oganchan ‘s cup of tea is blues rock.
However the band performed exact Fusion !! Sounds toooooo difficult !! lol Get outta here….. They are superb.
They had 60 minutes for performance but they played only 6songs since each songs are almost 10minutes…lol
I’m pleased that I could hear their solo section much. Most songs were instrumental music but the bass player Oganchan sang only one song as a bass & vocalist. It was the best for me!! It beats me that when I hear blues music I feel so good. I didn’t mean it but perhaps my heart is full of blues music after all because of Shoka Okubo…lol
