Yuya Uchida New Year World Rock Festival

 

 

 

 

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

 

Today I performed  as SHOKA OKUBO BLUES PROJECT featuring Chihana at Yuya Uchida New Year World Rock Festival in Ginza Hakuhinkan.

 

After sound check, I went to Soba restaurant with Shoka . In Japan, we usually eat Soba (is kinda noodle)at the end of year. It’s Japanese culture.

However , I ate katudon(deep fried pork on the rice )instead soba because it looked very delicious.   Shaka was wondering why I don’t eat soba…lol

I’m satisfied with it♪♪

Anyway, I’m so happy to perform here again!!

Perhaps majority of people must be  so busy today but thanks a million for choosing to come to the gig!!

Today’s member

Gt.Vo Shoa Okubo & Chihana

Ba.Cho Juna Serita

Dr.  Makotomo Sonohara

It was fun time. I really enjoyed the performance.

If you couldn’t see it , you can check on TV on January 7th. ; )

SHOKA OKUBO FUNKY PROJECT’s drummer Emi Yonekubo came to see us ; )!

I was really missing Emi !!!!! She is one of my few friends…!!  Shaka , Juna and Emi will go on tour  in January . I’m looking forward to performing with Emi again.

 

All acts were awesome. Especially I’m really inspired by Naoto Takenaka’s performance .

In my opinion , he is very famous as an actor . Today he was not only singer , but also entertainer !!!  And he smells pretty good actually….♪

 

Thanks Mr. Rock’n Roller Yuya Uchida for inviting us.

I wanna perform next year, too…♪

Happy new year you all!!

See ya.

one more gig.

 

 

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

 

Finally I updated live schedules  on my official website!!

I want to change some design in particular head picture . In fact score of people has told me to change it . Still ,unfortunately I don’t have the one which matches the size .

I’ve been  thinking about it for a long time but I’m not sure yet when I can get it.

Anyway, 2017 is finishing .  I have only one more gig as SHOKA OKUBO BLUES PROJECT on December 31.

The event called New Year Rock Festival is presented by Yuya Uchida. We performed there last year,too.

I really appreciate for inviting us again.

It will be on the TV I think as last time. So if you have some plans on the day already, you can check our performance later through TV program.

However , to be honest I want you to come there if possible…. of course ♡

See ya!!!
