Pre-production

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

Today SHOKA OKUBO BLUES PROJECT had a pre-production for recording  at Takahiro Kaneko(from KOME KOME CLUB)’s recording studio  .

 

My favorite T-shirts which  given by my fan .♪♪  So fashionable, isn’t it?

 

I tried the vintage bass guitar , browed from Kaneko-san. It is the same age with him . Lol

Actually I hadn’t  been interested in vintage instruments so much . However when I heard this sound, I felt so nice!!!

I’ve already decided that I’ll never buy 4strings bass guitars anymore thought  …

If I was rich, I wanna  have vintage bass guitars without question.

 

Anyway it is always fun to play funky stuff with my budies . ; )!

Kaneko-san taught me many things about recording today. He is so sweet.

 

And …

Tomorrow I’m gonna go to Tokushima prefecture  for performance .

That will be my first time to visit there ♪♪

 

So exciting 〜♪♪

 

See ya!!

We had a fantastic night!!
