Japan Bassists Club

[Winton]

We might be a small group on Talkbass but I know there are some of us here who live in Japan. Tell us where you live, where you're from, and what you do! Your group member# is in the order that you comment on here.

I currently live in Tokyo, grew up in Yokosuka, and teaching English at a few universities while making bass cover videos on YouTube to keep my chops.

I am originally from New York City but have been in Japan for the past few years with my family in Tokyo. I work remotely for an international company and play bass whenever the kids let me

Just came by this thread / group.

I lived many years in Japan, am back in the US now.

While there I was in a number of bands, Rock, Blues, Big Band / Soul / R&B / Fusion.

Good times.

Hey, welcome to the group! That's cool you're originally from NYC. I was born in upstate NY in Oneonta but moved here when I was 1yo.

Right on! I grew up around the 5 boroughs and spent most of my life there before moving to Tokyo a few years back. I love it here
