What we’re about
Bring your instrument and/or your voice and meet up with some like-minded J-Pop fans to jam!
What songs? anything J-Pop! Some of our all-time favourites are Himawari no Yakusoku (from Doraemon), Wherever you are (One OK Rock), Matsuri (Fuji Kaze) and Ai wo komete hanabata wo (Superfly).
The vibe will be acoustic / soft electric. (Amplified) acoustic guitars , cajon/bongos/congas etc, electric piano and (soft) electric bass all OK, but not shredding on electric guitar or pounding drums.
Even if you've never performed on stage, no need to be nervous! Many of our members will be there and are just about the most supportive and friendly people you’ll ever meet. They are also massive otaku/weebs so if you’re interested in it they probably are too.
Registration is important so that we can 1) create a schedule so that we can get as many people on stage as possible, and 2) If you need accompaniment (e.g. you’re a vocalist and need a backing band), we may not know the song you want to play, so it’ll mean we’ll a) have time to learn it, or b) can work with you on a different song.
Note: We can't guarantee we can get everyone on stage every meetup, but we'll do our best!
And, if you don't want to perform and just want to come by and listen, you are more than welcome!
