Some of you might remember writing about seeing/hearing a Japanese guy do Beatles covers outside the station a couple of weeks back. Well if not read about it here. Anyway I went again tonight, with my camera, despite the rain to get a couple of shots. I have become quite hooked on his original stuff also and he knows me by name (“Rorachan”) as this is now the third time I have seen him. I googled his band name and I did not realize that they actually had quite a few Cd’s and a webpage etc etc so might have to get myself one of those. (For the record he is one of three members from a band called Jetter-3)…
I have even made a new friend, Chie, a Korean girl who came up to me the second time I was there and said ” Yay another foreigner” In Japanese…..I was sort of like “what the…” because I embarrassingly had not realized she was not Japanese. So despite the crappy weatherI went along tonight to have another listen…
Anyway on with the photos (for Deb who requested them) and a couple of videos that unfortunately do not do him much justice…but have a look and a listen anyway! I still have no idea how old he is but he doesn’t look much older than 20 or 21 but he might be older than that. Is it just me though or is he a real cutie?
Have a listen to him here. I have another video of him singing his own stuff but YouTube is not cooperating with me at all. Below is some other random shots from weekend and today…I said I would try to get some photos right? The one below of the mystery man is one of my favourite photos…Not sure why. I see this guy everywhere…He was there tonight standing near where Beatles Boy was playing…He is always wearing that hat, grey clothes and carrying 3-4 pens and colouring in and drawing on the pictures you see below…
These first two photos show todays weather…Not great hey? Cold and a bit miserable!! And the last photo is of Chip the super cute Shiba-ken Dog!! The dog belongs to Kozoe & Taku. Taku plays soccer with Shumpei so whenever I go watch I get to play with Chip (I just heard that poor Taku broke his shoulder during the game on Sunday…Silly boy. He went in for a tackle and the other team got a penalty kick…He layed on the ground a bit going “Itai Itai” (It hurts It hurts) then got up continued playing and was fine…well turns out it must of really hurt!…Hope he gets better soon)

The Beatles cover guy has talent. As for his cuteness, I’ll skip judging him on that
LuLu! Your Beatles Boy is fabulous! I think I may even Google him myself and check out their site! I love checking out the rojo-lives (street gigs) in Japan. A couple of years ago I stumbled across a cool band in front of Shinjuku station and they literally stopped me in my tracks with their groovy tunes and the lead vocalist’s amazing voice. I have been to see them play live a number of times now, and have 2 of their CDs. What I wanted to ask you was how Shunpei feels about your obsession with Beatle Boy? Cos this BB is a cutie!
Yup – he’s a cutie! And he does have talent.
Boysenberry- Trust me he is cute…and I know you think so as well without hearing you say it!!! Hows the job going?
Nooh girl: I tell Shumpei all the time that if George Clooney or Tsumabuki Satoshi walked into my life that I would marry them. He knows I am joking (I think!) and it is the same with BB!! I keep telling Shumpei to come see him but he is never home from work in time…BB has a GF anyway!! I just like talented people…
I know what you mean about the street gigs…Some of them are fantastic. Coming home today there was a guy playing Jazz saxophone outside the station and he was brilliant also. Not quite as easy on the eye as BB though!
Jezzy- Glad to hear your reunion went so well! He is definitely cute. I am surprised everyday by how many good looking men are in Tokyo!!!
lol, Lulu, he actually reminds me a bit of a bloke I worked with years ago.
And the new job is going pretty well, thanks
He looks like he’s really into it! But having just blogged about a guy his age, I shouldn’t comment!:P
I like the picture of the older man, and the motion in the background
hehe he is a bit of a cutie! i love that cool pic of the older guy!!
thanks for the piccies
