Juna Serita is the bassist on the right, she has her own UA-cam channel, and she still plays with this group and the Jazz Avengers. Japan has a lot of excellent bass players and drummers you will probably like. On the rock side there is Misa (bass) and Akane (drums) from Band Maid are exceptional, and the band Trident has a great drummer and bassist too. On the more metal side Haraguchi (bass) and Murata Tamu (drums) from Nemophila are excellent as well. I could list probably a dozen or more rock and metal bands from Japan that are filled with excellent musicians.
This was craaaazy man the only thing my dad ever asked me to react to and I saw it after he passed its crazy and im like holy shit he was right this was wild lol
The bassist on the right is the bands original player , the one on the left is her replacement , but when she is back in town they double up . They are one the tightest bands I've ever listened to
I understand that the members of "Tokyo Groove Jiyoshi" work as session musicians, that's why they met and formed the trio that, as @Steven Mcmorris and @Mark Hayes already commented, has been changing its members, but the one with the most projection is Juna Serita, the original bass player, what I didn't know is that they occasionally get together in a two-bass player line-up, which is a gift ;) What I also agree with is the quality of Japanese musicians and especially with the mention of MISA and Akane, bassist and drummer of the band BAND-MAID, (you should check them out sometime, they might surprise you hehehehe), but in the field of jazz there are two other musicians that I think are really outstanding, pianist Hiromi Uehara and drummer Senri Kawaguchi (in Japan she is nicknamed 手数姫, translated "Princess of multiple beats"), both are incredible, but if you want to see something really unusual and spectacular I recommend this song by Hiromi in duet with Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda, another incredible musician whose harp playing is mind-blowing; ) ua-cam.com/video/JiBeeM0gg9g/v-deo.html Greetings from Spain ;) PS. I came to you because of your reactions to The Warning ;) (automatic translation by software)
The sax player Harumo Imai also plays sax in Phillip Woo's band..he's a former keyboard player who played with Roy Ayers Ubiquity & Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly
I’m so looking forward to seeing this band play Melbourne’s Bird’s Basement in April. If there’s a more accomplished all-female group in the world, I’d like to see them! Mimi’s drumming is seriously world class.
@@skeptic4031 I’ll be on the big table of 8 in front of the stage. I’ll be wearing probably a linen long sleeve Japanese cherry blossom shirt! Come say hi!
They, TGJ have another version that i think is a lot better, with no sax, one bass and a traditional Japanese instrument. Hope you can find it. Yet, what you are showing to very good.
Sarita started up on guitar but she said she could not figure out six strings so she changed over 2 bass guitar because she figured she could do four strings better and you see what the outcome is

And later started playing 5 string bass, so went halfway back.
