“Sorry for the slight delay! Thank you to everyone who came! The Keiko Walker Band’s live performance after awhile was so much fun!!
I’m glad we dug up the old songs from Keiko Walker and The Hot Street Band days!! It seems like everyone really liked them ! Ken-chan also came, so we finished with ‘Mystery Train’ as a Twin Telecaster set!
Thank you so much to everyone who came 😊 It seems like many of you were hearing us for the first time, and whether you’re into ROCK, BLUEGRASS, or COUNTRY, it made me so happy to see everyone getting into the music and having a great time ♥️
The band was on fire again—just like at February’s Stagecoach show. Such sharp, powerful playing!
And as always, thank you to Back In Town for everything ♥️♥️♥️ On the way home, I had tea with Yukito 🫖😉
The nextお越しくださいました皆様ありがとうございました😊 初めて聴いてくれた方も多かったみたいですが、ROCK好きな方も、BLUEGRASS好きな方も、 COUNTRY好きな方も、みんな盛り上がって聴いてくれていたのが嬉しい♥️ メンバーも2月のStagecouchに続き、キレキレの演奏最高!!
そして、Back In Town、いつもありがとう♥️♥️♥️ 帰りはYUKITOとお茶🫖😉
次回のRock’N Bluegrass Bandは7月20日、茅ヶ崎Stagecoachです!

It’s been a while since our last Girl’s Night Out—and this one was just as fun as ever! ♥️
Thank you so much to everyone who came! And thank you, as always, for the adorable and delicious gifts 🎁 I’m truly touched❣️
This time, both Chie-chan and Chihana had just released new albums! Their beautifully designed covers are so exciting to look at—such great taste 😍 Thank you both for the lovely gifts❣️ And from Chie-chan, I even received a birthday present featuring my favorite Marie 🐈⬛🎀! Marie’s a kitty, but she reminds me so much of Annabelle 🐶—I absolutely adore her❣️
The next Girl’s Night Out is set for Sunday, August 24th (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
Also, Guitarist Ken Takeya—who’ll be the guest on Keiko Walker’s Music Box next month, April 10th—stopped by to hang out!
The stage photos were kindly shared by our lovely guests 🙏🏻♥️

I’ve been playing Gibson J200 (several) since 1985 and the more I spend time with them I fall in love with it even more. Not to mention my blonde one was love at first sight ♡
Last night at Stagecoach with my guitar player, Kazuaki Furuhashi was one of those nights when I realized how much I love playing my Gibson!
Twas another fun night! After the show, Kazuaki, Seiji and myself sat around to look at some old Japanese Country Music magazines Seiji’s father has kept. It was totally interesting!!
朝長先生、片山誠史くん、清水くん、そしてタラちゃんことKeiko Walker & The Hot Street Bandのギターリスト、小野塚範夫と行ってきまいた~♪ 今夜出演のバンドも懐かしいメンバーでDave Kuboi &The Longhornsにいたアメちゃん(雨宮直己)マキちゃん(石川マキ)そして高野さんという私が小学生~中学生から知っているみんな。
Years and Years ago, when I was a child, my uncle, James Walker was an actor and a Country singer in Japan. I grew up listening to him sing country which led me to dream of becoming a country singer. When I became a professional singer, my uncle had already moved to the US, so we never had the chance to perform together. Since this year, 2023 is my 40th Anniversary year as a performer, I asked my uncle if he could join me in my shows. This will be the very first time to be on stage together!!! What a thrill♪
My first live this year on the 15th was a lot of fun! Thank you to all that came to see us! My next show at Stagecoach will be on February 26th! February is my Birthday Month so it’s going to be a special one!
My first gig this year would be at Stagecoach Chigasaki on January 15th Sunday. It will be with Kazuaki Furuhashi and Yukito! Looking forward to see you all !
It’s always so much fun to sing Emmylou! We did a new set of songs from our Vol. I live. Songs I used to sing when I was younger and songs we’ve never done before. Still haven’t covered half of her albums so this series hopefully continues(^_-)-☆
Going down Memory Lane I guess my future career as a Country Music Singer started when I was 10. Fond memories of my still most favorite Singer Jimmie Tokita. And my beautiful Mama
