    Juna is a new friend of mine. Met her in London, England back in October when she was playing at a concert with Rie aka: Suzaku, another friend. One day we all went to the British Museum, and Juna did most of the translating. She was just at the NAMM show with Rie and is staying in L.A. for at least a month. Juna is really charming, funny and a really nice person.
    UPDATE: Juna just posted a photo of her with Bootsy in L.A. whom she just met for the first time. By the way, Bootsy had previously posted Juna's ''Princess of Funk' on his Facebook page.

    Some of these kids got their start in some of the Great High Schools in Japan. Some of the School Marching Bands are fantastic. They even play old Benny Goodman Sing, Sing Sing. The greatest is the Tachibana H.S. band in Kyoto. They are incredible. I can see some of these kids coming from there, especially the Horn section. Those kids love Jazz!

    Fantastic bass-playing and incredible musicianship all-around, and nice to see that such intense research went into the creation of this
    track's quite-Dylanesque lyricism!!! Pretty sure that perhaps the every-handy language guide Rosetta Stone was consulted in their obviously
    quite-stressful birthing...and don't try the fish, not so fresh tonight!

      Ever listen to Yuriko Seki or Senri Kawaguchi? Juna has played with both. Yuriko was the original drummer for Tokyo Groove Jyoshi and Senri is the drummer for The Jazz Avengers. If you like Blues check out Shoka Okubo Blues Project. Juna is the bassist.

  • @donotneed2250
    @donotneed2250 8 місяців тому

    The lady on tenor sax is Harumo Imai and she's more of a permanent guest member of Tokyo Groove Jyoshi. The drummer is MiMi and she is the current drummer of Tokyo Groove Jyoshi. MiMi replaced Yuriko Seki and Rina Hoshino replaced Juna as bassist.
    Juna also plays bass for AddOne, Muses, The Jazz Avengers, Shoka Okubo Blues Project and I think one or two others.

    I think she is a really hard working musician and so is the rest of the band. I'm born and raised musician here in the USA playing for six decades. I don't speak any language but English nor play any other music than hard core Americana. I think they are to be complimented that they have tried so hard to be part of the whole world of Funk and add their part. English is not their first language and obviously funk isn't Asian music. Try and consider that before passing too harsh of a judgement....just sayin'.

    • @UnhingedReactions

      We are the ones who brought her to the forefront, and the last thing we would do is pass negative judgment, and we did not. We're big fans and wanted to give her a platform to show everyone what she's got.
      Thanks for watching. 🤘

    She’s talented but doesn’t expand her abilities. She has a few good tunes but is too limited.

    • @donotneed2250
      @donotneed2250 8 місяців тому

      Does not expand her abilities? I strongly beg to differ. Do you mean playing with The Jazz Avengers, Muses, Shoka Okubo Blues Project, Tokyo Groove Jyoshi, AddOne is not expanding? She also plays alto sax, electric guitar, upright bass, is learning the banjo AND violin but "she doesn't expand her abilities?"

  • @rickhernandez4269
    @rickhernandez4269 2 роки тому

    She’s very limited in her playing. I’ve only seen several tunes nothing more. Banking on just those limited gigs. She can play but she doesn’t expand her talent correctly

      Have you heard of Shoka Okubo Blues Project? The Jazz Avengers? Muses or AddOne? She's their bassist along with a couple of others. She also plays electric guitar, upright bass, alto sax and is currently learning banjo AND violin.🤷🏼‍♂️

    Preen-sense of funk! Sucked. And I love funk. I could tell how excited these critics felt trying to come up with some positive points. Lol. I couldn't even understand her talking pauses.
    This is what I call soulless funk. They have the rhythm, don't get me wrong, but they lack the feel. This ain't no AWB. VERY forgettable song.
    Sorry guys. This band gets an F. And it doesn't stand for funk.

    • @UnhingedReactions
      @UnhingedReactions  3 роки тому +2

      A lot of my musical past is hardcore funk, so I'm with you on this one. Although I wouldn't give them an F. If we give her a d minus, at least it will keep her working at her craft. Thanks for watching.🤘

    • @oldschoolfunkster1
      @oldschoolfunkster1 3 роки тому

      @@UnhingedReactions You're right. I was a little to hard on them on the grade scale.
      I too am a hardcore funkster (hence my moniker). I have lots of favorite funk bands. Tower of Power, Cameo, Confunkshun, Quazar, Ozone, Full Force, Pleasure... I'm sure you've heard of all of them. The funkier the beat, the better!. Lol.
      I too am a musician and base my style on tight guitar rhythms like Tower of Power (and solos ala Santana). So I really appreciate what true funk is about. Real funk makes you want to move automatically. This band would be good for a party where people just want easy beats to dance to. You're probably like me. We not only listen to the music, we analyze it. I guess being musicians we tend to dissect the DNA of the sounds.
      This is a decent band, but I would definitely not buy their music. Too generic for me. I like my music spicy!! Lol.
      Be safe brother.
