Tokyo Groove


keyboard, vocal - Emi Kanazashi sax - Harumo Imai drums - MiMi bass - Juna Serita


Juna Serita & Rina Hoshino - What is hip? {twin bass version}

If you didn't know better, with your eyes closed, you'd swear you were listening to some soulful, jazzy, funk from America's 1970's groovy era. These gurls are breaking it down. They are not just playing the music, they're feeling the music, and letting it manifest through their soulful beings. 

Imagine them getting down with Grover Washington's "Mister Magic" beat. Music is simply universal. No one group or individual has full ownership of music brewed in the soul. Well, there was this one funky bassist named Bootsy Collins, but that's a story for another time.
