member
Vocal: Monique Dehaney
Keyboard : Haruka Kanata
Guitar:Hayato Akutsu
Sax: Michael Roberts
Bass: Juna Serita

One day , the sax player Mike texted me like ” Guess we are playing together on Friday lol”.
I couldn’t understand what he says because I’ll have a show but I couldn’t see his name on the flyer and he didn’t come to the rehearsal .
So I was confused whether I got double booking or not…lol
According to him, he was invited to play together “just now” when we were chatting .(Probably it was beginning of the week )
I’m so happy that I could play with this dope sax player again ♪

Monique makes audience to dance !! She is the great entertainer without question . And Haruka leads the performance always . I really enjoyed .30 minutes was too short for us tho ; )!
A girl talked to me after the performance , and she seemed interested in my instruments.
Juna 「Do you wanna try ?」
A girl 「I can’t !! but I wanna play the trumpet…♡」
While pointing Mike’s saxophone …..lol
How cute she is♡♡
And at the night we went to a live bar for disco night !! I do love dancing ♡ yey yey ♡
Actually before the rehearsal I was a little afraid to play reggae with others because I’ve never learned it hard. I do play reggae music sometimes but I was not sure whether I can say exactly it is reggae or not because of my skill.
However the rehearsal was pretty fun !! I felt something great like when I played music with others for the first time in my life.
I was really inspired by her vocal.
I’ve known her through youtube but that was totally different to see her performance in real life. .
I’m looking forward to the gig so much; )
Actually they are not charging . So you guys can come to see the performance for free. It takes place at Gajoen mae .
After the rehearsal , _i went to hookah bar .
I’ve never smoked but I was really interested in it.
I choose blueberry & something(I for got ) tastes .
Frankly speaking , I couldn’t feel the tastes but I enjoyed that.
Looks like I’m playing the clarinet. lol
I might like it. I wanted to make rings with smoke, but I couldn’t make it this time…
