Last Weekend In Japan!

Fri night: it's time for The Ugly Man. they're really good!
and rob hops up there with his okanawan sashin, which he totally rocks at!
akinori looks like he's crying!
that's better!

the bass babes! no ugly men here! and they're apparently number one, which is a big variation on the usual "V" that most people are so fond of around here.
smitha, jammin out to S&G's "Sound of Silence"
this is an awesome pic of smitha! she looks so serious and professional. she should sing on stage more often!

time for me to toss down my tribute to Janis by singing "Move Over". james was kind enough to man my camera, and got some abfab shots!

oh yeah. can you feel it?
Christine! rock rock rock!

then she and james do "stand by me"

james looks like a total dork in this one! :) nothin' but love, james!

a little fuzzy, but you can't beat their expressions.

akinori recouping between sets!
ange, akio, and i!

in the intermission rob and lance played some traditional okanawan music. very groovy.

and then it was off to the saiyonara beach party, in all it's rainy glory.
