The title of JTB Okinawa’s June 2006 concert series, “Okinawa Yume no Kuni”, loosely translates to “one of the most awesome concert series for Okinawan music for 2006″. (Okay, I did exaggerate that a bit. :P) The series is produced by TERUYA Rinken — who could’ve filled it with his own groups (a very unselfish move on his part) — and will take place at the National Theatre Okinawa for seven straight days (from June 19th [Monday] to June 25th [Sunday]). The lineup (with genre in parenthesis) is as follows:
6/19 (O-Pop) - Nenes
6/20 (O-Pop) - Tink Tink (Pronounced “tinku tinku” and they’re produced by Rinken.)
6/21 (O-Pop) - Parsha cluB (Need I mention that this is my all-time favorite O-Pop band?)
6/22 (J/O-Pop) - Syakari (Correct romanization for the group name is “shakari”.)
6/23 (O-Pop) - Tamae Masaaki Band
6/24 (Latin Pop & J/O-Pop) - DIAMANTES
6/25 (O-Pop) - Rinken Band
The list of performers is practically a who’s who of the current O-Pop scene. Very awesome.
