THANKS FOR THE PERSON WHO DID THE FINAL MIXING LETTING THE BASS SHINE!! NORMALLY BASSES ARE SO MUTED IN MUSIC IN GENERAL.
I think she meant Japanese - LOL
@@webgputhe bassist really stands out on this. I love the bass guitar in this funky number. It kills.
I just want a poster of the bass player
this blew my mind, breathtaking musicianship, especially bass
All
And the keyboards-
Yeah, she lock the bank
Hey lay off i saw her 1st! Lol

Japan has been on to us for a long time now... love these gals, especially that bass player and her awesome 'bass face' !
I still find myself coming back to this track multiple times each year. The original is such an underrated funky track that isn't talked about enough and it was such a WONDERFUL surprise getting a cover of it in a unique style. Every single one of them brings their A-game. All incredibly talented and the final result is one of the best covers I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. LOVE this one!
It's awesome that funky groove has spread all over the world and as a result we receive a gift such as this Funky, Super clean Groove.
I especially love the addition of the traditional Japanese instrument!!
Tokyo Groove Jyoshi is living proof that funky soul will always live on.
Totally agree about the original being underrated. I don't people appreciate how hard it is to play Francis Rocco Prestia's bass line, the way he plays it (with the finger muting) at the speed he plays it. Makes it hard for a band to cover for live shows - e.g. weddings. Believe me, my band took a crack at it. As bassist, I was the limiting factor.
Four fantastic musicians!!!!! I never tire of this
Yes you are mind blowers. thank you so much 🙏
My grandmother once told me: "You can't go wrong with four hot Japanese chicks playing funk music." RIP, Grandma.
My grandmother used to say the same thing.
Must be a granny thing, mine often said this.
My grannies x 2 rose from their graves when they heard this. Reminded them of Khruangbin, they said, but perhaps the other way round. Refreshing...
The bass player is from Thailand but don’t matter the Asian funk lives on
.........you sure got quite a grandma........and i am positive her soul is now resting in peace. Amen!! I wish i had a grandma like yours. Love this group!!
I’m in love with the Bass Player!!!😍
These ladies are amazing I love how they combine jazz and rock with their own style I'm a drummer myself and the lady drummer is truly amazing one of the best I've seen
My GOODNESS what a fat groove. That drummer and bass player have a clock that Rolex even looses time to!!!! I am totally blown away by this jam! Thanks for posting.
Classic man of culture comment
Lolex, Lolex...
'loses' you git.
That's one hell of a plectrum.
That's what she said!
It's awesome that funky groove has spread all over the world and as a result we receive a gift such as this Funky, Super clean Groove. And because of that, it's got me picking up my old bass and working to lay it down.
I especially love the addition of the traditional Japanese instrument!!
Tokyo Groove Jyoshi is living proof that funky soul will always live on.
This literally make me cry, so good!
Everyone talking about the bass, and fair enough, it’s a bass channel. Yes, and that drum solo was sick.
GOD DAMN MAN. LET THEM MAKE IT. THEY ARE PROBABLY ALMOST AS GOOD AS YOUR BAND...IJS
Er body playing fa sho' son! No joke intended, that are wearing those axes out!
It doesn't hurt that the bass player, Juna Serita, is ridiculously hot, on top of playing like that. But yeah, they're all impressive.
Aside from the sweet and groovy solo, that drummer lays down a nasty pocket, especially during all the little bridges.
That Japanese banjo is pretty amazing as well.
The sound mixing is outstanding. No one instrument drowns out the other.
My ex said he played in the pocket drums not to outshine. Ahh xoxoxoyou get i
t :)
@Enoch Maximo
@Imran Alec
Scammers!! Get a virus as well.
That's because this is NOT a live mix. It is a studio mix they're playing in sync with live, unplugged. Notice nothing is plugged in.

In this day and age they could be using wireless transmitters but I don't see them wearing wireless "in-ear" monitors.
But how does she pick those strings with a windshield ice scraper
I Can't Get Enough Of Them
I played Jazz Bass and funk for years and I am rather astonished what these kids are doing.
I bow to the eternal deities of music for letting me be on the planet long enough to find and take joy from the talents of these amazing ladies! I partied my way through 70s funk and loved it. who knew that it would come back from the great beyond?
These girls are absolutely majestic!
Out of this world
WOW!!! to ALL of them!
EXCELLENT rendition of the Tower of Power hit!!! These ladies are definitely worth paying to see.
Zappa-level performance! Truly fine! Thank you!
Not many are willing to Tread too far Out on Zappa'd sea ice.
wwaaaw! A Japanese and still traditional musical instrument with Funk music ..girls you are HELL
So beautiful to hear the power of a bass guitar. So often overlooked as a vital part of a band.
Are you kidding me right now?! How am I just finding out about this incredible band?
The closest thing would be 'The Jazz Avengers' whom Juna plays mostly with now.
Not gonna lie: I came for the TT's, but stayed for the awesome music!
Hahaha confess
Everybody came here for boobs and eventually we found out that boobs and groove can support each other.
in the end, that's funky Juna Serita - she's not just pretty, but for sure of the best funk bass players worldwide easily
Of course! Same! But the point is, we stayed for that groove. They're fantastic!!!
Serita-san is pretty as a picture, for sure, but them BASS SKILLZ. Dang!
Oh ! may, i ever hear this instrumen, in the 80's funk japan Jazz Compilation Album. Thumb Up.
Gawd Dang! Each and everyone of them are T Top Shelf! Respect!
Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the incredible talent. These girls have got it all going on here, the groove is phenomenal. Wonderful stuff.
These ladies are doing some shredding.
These young ladies are seriously jamming you dig.
I know that jam ? By the “Tower of Power” WHAT IS HIP. ✌🏾✊🏾
Absolutely mesmerizing! Thank you CZcams for bringing me here
These people are OFF THE HOOK. Everyone is awesome (including prod crew) and the level of coordination and tightness is insane. All the choruses are high energy and precise. The addition of the shamisen for "local color" is damn brilliant. A great, cheeky nod to a funk classic. Also, a nod to my fellow commenters for being mostly classy ;-)
That bass line was wild! I can't even imagine slap and plucking on that level.
Awesome surprise. These musicians are fanatic! That shimasen player is amazing as are the rest.
wonderful !!
Man, what a great chart! Juna tore it up on bass, and Yuriko's drum solo was spot-on. Emi put the "fun" in funky, and Shinobu is a virtuoso.
Bass is a monster!!! Drummer is loose and funky. Damn. These ladies are legit
The woman playing her native strings is out of this world. Thanks.
Awesome! ❤
Juna is killing it on bass! 🔥
They all great very attractive anybody kno much bout them
Endless respect for these musicians.
OMGoodness, THE TALENT has entered my ears, registered with the brain, and excuse me while I pick up my jaw! Ok, jaw fixed and I ; clap, clap, clap, clap, clap! Bravo! Clarity, bands tightness, and the sound.... Geeeeeeeezzzzz!
Powerhouse! That's awesome. All of you!
That’s the best rendition of that song since I’ve heard the original. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Came For The Bass, Stayed For The Band...Top Class
Damn Ladies! This is TOO DOPE! I have to hear it AGAIN! Yeah!
Everyone meshes well ❤️ together
what an awesome performance
I love the bassist she is amazing.
The showwomanship, the sound, the mixing, just fantastic.
Incredible ! just incredible
That bass player, man can she jam. Also she’s quite lovely. They’re all talented.
@Stig Weard Understatement is right!
She is HELLA FINE!
This is sick! What a cool sound. Funky funky funky! And the bass is out of this orbit..!
True about the bassist!
this is only a cover! this piece is from "Tower of Power" together with a bass-line.
@@pashan.874 Yes, I know. I have been listening to TOP for a few years now.
Doesn't hurt she's total fox, and could kick any one of our asses. I'm all in
Sick? I think it's outstanding!
World-class!!!
Awesome Tower of Power with Japanese traditional instruments, Grooving
Funk bass, 70's Hammond style keys, jazz drums and a friggin' shamisen playing in a country/blues style!? Yes please.
zAp dont forget the boob
the shamisen sort of steals the show imo, just such a cool sound for this style/genre
😂
@@enaidealukal9203 I think they want to infuse it with Japanese style
I don't know the drum player the electric whatever got me too hello they definitely jamming
The bass player is badass, for real. The girl's got some skills.
And a gorgeous bass! That ornamentation! Love it. Tasteful grooves on a tasteful axe.
LOVE this!
Tower of Power was big in the S.F. Bay Area when I was a teenager. This is a new twist. I like it.
the shamisen do be hitting different tho :0
OUTSTANDING!!
Love the bass player 😊❤🤟👏👏😘
I feel in love when i see the bassist.❤❤❤
The drummer is spot on, "In the Pocket"!
Don't know about that ... lol . You are obviously mesmerized by the smell in the room.
She’s got nice hands for sure.. I gotta listen to this again on something other than my phone though to really hear her. Sounds a little light in the mix to me. Everyone else brought the work though!
@@blacjazzz Yes ! Only thing I would complain about her & everybody else is sounding light ! It should be heavier ...but they are ladies ...so .I am a Japanese woman as well ! Lol. But I do appreciate their work here !
WOW!!! Are you kidding me? I love it when they all smile! Who wouldn't have fun playing like that!!
What is hip?...These ladies are hip!!!
❤ WOW 😮 👏 ❤ love it!
Not many drummers can sit in a grove like this young lady ...... in the pocket....awesome drummer, great band
Her playing under the shamisan solo was just so damn smooth, my favorite player in the mix.
I was thinking the same. So relaxed and dead solid in the groove
This made me smile. The talent and the tightness of their performance. And that they are having fun!
This is a boss version of this song by Tower of Power. This got the chops and I hope it never stops! Party on!!!!!!
BRAVO!!! ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Not sure how the CZcams algorithm works but was sure surprised when I clicked on the video. These girls are unbelievable. Excellent performance!
No shit I ran up on this landmine willingly. What a great ride. These are fuck8ng bad ass
i saw boobs on the thumbnail and yolo clicked. but this is much more than boobs. its like "boobs +"
Wonderful! Thank you girls!
Not gonna lie... I came for the thumbnail, but stayed for the funk. Well done ladys!!!
All these women are good, very good musicians. Exelent. I like it. The song, the performers...perfect...
oowh i think i'm fallin love with the bassist
You can have the rest of the band, she is mines, notice i didn't mine.
Hands off, I called for her first, definitely has 2 something's that I like, I'm flying out tomorrow with ring right !
The whole group is awesome.. they could have opened up the Olympics.. i like the fusion of japanese music, specifically the koto with Jazz/pop/funk great job girls!
Not a koto, a shamisen
I know exactly what you mean. I first got turned onto the Japanese improvisation of jazz 'n funk by the Seatbelts (who performed "The Real Folk Blues" in the Cowboy Bebop anime) and loved the mix and inescapable sentiments of several cultures coming together for a kickass sound.
The addition of the electrified shamisen instrument in this version is literally "off the hook".
These musicians were performing in another stratosphere when they cut this.
Baby Jesus you know that this is rocking 🇮🇪❤️❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪
I now and then Come Back to this drum solo
The funk is strong with these ladies.
😄😄
Amazing musicians!! The drummer is on another level...
This has got to be one of the cooler things I’ve seen
Best funk shamisen I've ever heard!
The song is awesome, but the bass is out of this world!
you mean the bass player :-)
@@eSzeSvid why not both?
The bass is out of tits world!!
Are they real😳😍👍👏👏👏👏
Incredible. I can't get enough of this Funk. My new favorite band.
also respect for the video editing and recording engineer and overall production.
Never thought of the Shamisen as a funk instrument but you did it. Brilliant!
Opening phrases in the bass solo ... sick!
This group was inserted on my youtube play list, took a chance and listened to them...I'm impressed....!🎵🎶✌🎵🎶🎵🎵
I am really digging this group and their arrangement of this classic R&B tune. You go ladies!
A Shamisen with Funk music ingenious that's what music is all about experimentation and it works good job ladies
What?!, They getting down! These girls are fire🔥
Bass is thrilling! Gorgeous tune!
The musicianship is superlative!! The arrangements exciting & fresh. But what I love the most?? U folks are just having so much fun!! Thank you, thank you. And PLEASE don't stop. You're fabulous
Super cool 👍
That bass line is so exciting. All of you are technically excellent and inspiring.
"Are you Serious?// They are all AMAZING!!!!!
PLEASE stop these rude comments. These young ladies are incredible musicians. We also loved the way the traditional Kyoto was incorporated into modern music. Brilliant!
the Best for me.. i love you guys
Chill dude. she is selling the whole package. A true professional. We love this for the visuals as well as the kickass sound
@@YinFuBG I can agree with that. There were just some rude comments that were not good though.
I keep coming back to this one.
