Band, my friends

From the past to now, I had many friends in my band. Everybody all right?

Kaito Band
Hama Band
ESS Band
UNO
Tenka no Gohatto

Kaito Band

Shortly after I came to Takamatsu, I had an acquaintance introduce me to a Music Bar called "Kaito". This is a little different from a normal Music Bar, there is no such thing as a fixed live schedule, and it is basically a style of "having a free session with the gathered members".

The regulars had amazing skills, so at first, I was pressured and could not participate easily, but as I repeated the times, I was told "Join with the bass!" I have become one of the regulars soon.

Especially Clapton's songs were favorites of everyone, so it was helpful.

In the case of other old Japanese folk songs, I can play by my bass, so I am playing easily.

Please take a look when you come to Takamatsu.

This is a scene inviting a friend of mine from Virginia.
His banjo was amazing.

History

It imagines from a name Yokohama, but it isn't related toYokohama at all.
It's coming with BLUES.
Recently, we are trying japanese pops and old style folksongs,
But I believe that a  base of our music is acoustic BLUES.
As we got a new bassist lately, I expect I will be back to guitarist...
Oh my god! Mr.HOI moved to Beijing!!!
Now I'm worried about married OMIZU will come to our practice or not.
Oh No! OMIZU took a long vacation for maternity!!!
A disruption crisis of Hama Band !!!
Oh lucky! New keyboarder girl will come soon!
I got it!!
It was a man....

So It means all of members are male. It's no problem.
New keyboarder called RIN is rather skillful,
He will make wonderfull ad�]lib with YAMAHA's full keyboard.
OMIZU! Please make effort to take care of your baby!.
And please come back someday!

it's difficult to gather from now.
"Yakusokunohashi"(The promised bridge) was so good in KAJI's wedding party.

But lately, UNI bought Martin Guitar.
I expect all will come back soon!

UNO(You know?)

After the practice, we always played card game UNO.
Band's name came from that.

I regret we had to be breakup.

Tenka-no-gohatto(common law)

We had been teenage boys!
Everybody has an experience as a teen ager.
Band's name comes from "Ten-gallon hat".
We didn't have any Drumer.
That was our strength and our weakness.
Then we had nothing to be afraid, we sent demo-tape to radio station several times.
Our technic was not good, But I think everything started from here.
"Really tender season had gone while I looked it off......" from Huyunoyoru
