JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

For those of you who keep up with the local music scene, you may soon be seeing Live Music Bar JET in a promotional video. Live Music Bar JET is a possible shooting location for an upcoming video involving former Bar JET bartender Shota, a transplanted mainland Japanese artist and lead singer of the jazzy J-pop rock band B-Trippers. (Some of you may be familiar with their music from an awamori TV commercial.) I’m not exactly sure what the promotional video is for, since the promoter for B-Trippers, also a transplanted mainland Japanese and celebrity, is the wife of another transplanted mainland Japanese and this year’s spokesperson for the local awamori company. And, at the same time, B-Trippers have a CD that is receiving some acknowledgement due to the TV commercial. I also don’t know why they haven’t chosen to use Shota’s own club for the video. (Taki was busy in a recording session when the call came through and didn’t have a chance to ask questions or get all the info.) Anyway, we wish Shota the best of luck with this new promotional video.
