when I arrived they were playing Feel Like Makin Love  .

I was a little bit hungry and ordered food but I don’t know what it is !?

And I ate , after all  I didn’t understand. lol

 

Anyway , a guy talked to me and asked me whether I want to play or not of course I said yes !

 

 

I played three songs . Chameleon , Ain’t no sunshine , mercy mercy me.

America tour day9 ~LA~

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

Today I went to open jam session with my ex roommate !

Everybody who sit in was vocalist and they all were so cool.. I guess some peeps might be professional (I mean, getting  money through music ), some peeps might be not . But they all were just AWESOME !!

I got kinda nervous to sit in but you know life is too short and I’m getting old man. If I don’t sit in now, I came here for nothing .

I invested all money to this trip for getting experienced , and also connected to new people . If I don’t play the bass I’m just a lady , nobody get interested in you know . So I pushed myself .

It was so much fun!!!! Thanks for letting me join you guys.  And everybody was just so warm …  Appreciate  .

After that we went to a bar and drink bcz this should be the last day that I and my ex roommate hangout together ; (

I will miss u guys….  They always treated me really well.  I normally don’t wanna trust guys , but they are special . I literally feel they don’t see me as woman , but still they do too many extra sweet things . I think they are angel .

We were together only 4 or 5 days ? but feels like we’re family .  It was really nice meeting you guys. Thanks !!!!

 

See ya!!

America tour day7 ~LA~

 

 

 

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

 

Today I went to see GHOST NOTE’s show !!

Of course MONO NEON is one of the best bass guitar player in the world , but today …  There was a cute guest musician…❤️

I actually don’t know his name but I recognized him ’cause I saw his video on the internet a lot !!  He is the monster bass player who played Jaco songs /phrase completely !!! And he jammed with Richard Bona too I think.

I know he can play really fast / many notes . but the great point is today he really focused on groove . And I feel huge pocket !!! And his tone is just incredible ….. I’m  so admired .

 

About MONO NEON , I think I don’t need to mention because everybody knows how great he is !! I’m totally blown away .

I’m so grateful . LA is the greatest place .

 

You know.. if I try to see their show in Japan, it’s gonna be around  120 $. but in LA , today’s ticket was 20 $.

So I’m trying to see great musicians show as much as possible .

 

 

See ya !!

Juna Serita recording 2

 

 

 

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

 

It was the second day of my album  recording .

This is the engineer Kato-san : )!! He is young but incredible !

Today we record tap sounds with my favorite tap dancer MIU.

She is still 19 years old , but already worldwide dancer .

I came up with the idea to involve her on my abum ,and I wanted to record her tap in August . However I knew she won’t be in Japan in whole august .lol

That’s why I re-fixed recording schedule August to July  .

Now I’m so glad to have her sounds !!! My decision  was right !

Thanks MIU, and have a nice trip !!

 

 

 

And at night I had a gig for Rita Nishikawa at Ueno warrior celt.

Today’s member

Always fun to play with her .  She is my buddy .

Sho & Shingo @ Akasaka Cantina

 

 

 

 

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

 

Today I had a gig of Show & Shingo at Akasaka Cantina.

Sho is a producer of Miho Noshita . I performed as a backup musician of her one day too ; )

 

And Shingo is also a guitar player and also working in a pedal company named VEMURAM. 

VEMURAM is the company which brought me to NAMM show 2017. It was my first visit of the US . And the experience  changed my life . I really appreciate them . Especially , I couldn’t understand English at all then . So Shingo always helped me . Like my hero !!! lol 

 

We played together several songs . Mostly blues , funk .

According to Shingo, he hasn’t played the guitar for a while because he was busy of work .

But his tone was awesome ! Difenetely he is a blues guitar player !!

Anyway thanks for involving me , that was so much fun .

 

See ya !!

TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI @ Shibuya Terraplane

 

 

 

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

 

This afternoon I visited Okada International . This is Japanese distributor of Sadowsky .

I’ve heard they recently have the bass guitars named ”  SLAP MASTER “focused on slapping , and they let me try ; ) !!

It sounds AMAZING !!  If you are woman or not muscular  , I especially recommend it to you .  I loved it !!  I chose white color and rose,then  I ended up to use the SLAP MASTER bass at today’s gig too ; ) !!!

I was sooooooooooooo excited !! ♪♪

 

 

So I had a gig of TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI at Shibuya Terraplane .

The member is

Bass & Vocal : Juna Serita

Keyboard & Vocal : Emi Kanazashi

Drums : Yuriko Seki

Guitar : Chizuru Segawa

Just couldn’t wait to play the bass guitar with the band !!

It was really comfortable to slap .  There is no stress .

Even small sound, I could recognize well .

I can say that even if  you are not such a good slapper , you will sound great with SLAP MASTER . !

I’m so glad people told me they love the bass guitar ‘s sound.

Anyway , thanks for coming today !

The member will have a gig on July 3rd too .  Please book your schedule ;  )

 

 

See ya!!
