      Met Juna when she did a gig with Rie aka: Suzaku (artist name) in London in October, and filmed the concert along with Rie's manager/record company president. Got to hang out with them a bit for three days. On their last day, we all went to the British Museum and Juna (whose English is very good) did the translating between the rest of the band and myself as we all wandered around. Juna is very charming, pleasant, and has a great sense of humour. More outgoing, she has a bit more of a 'Western' personality, at least compared to my other Japanese friends.

    I just discovered this band a few days ago and I have seen Tower of Power live about 3 times, and yes I was blown away with these 4 musicians. As you can see by my name I enjoy the bass and Juna is a talented bassist. I know you all are up in Canada and I had a chance a few years ago to see Katisse at the Baked Potato here in L.A. you will be surprised with his music as these are all accomplished musicians in this video. ruclips.net/video/4M-duAEE_n4/видео.html. I'd like your reaction to this band. Thank you.

      Juna Serita. She's amazing. Last I heard, she left Tokyo Groove Jyoshi to go solo with her music, and they got a new bassist to replace her. They even played a gig with both bassists as a sort of "hand off" to the new girl (I forget her name, unfortunately...she's also amazing).

    They play another version of this song without the Japanese guitar...but instead...a Sax. To me...the Sax version pops more. Just saying. More in line with the original. Wonder how it would work if the band played the Japanese guitar AND the Sax together??? Still HIP. This band reminds me of Jazz fusion.
