Valentines Blues: Yo Tokunaga, CK & Friends, JBQ & the Bouncing Hep Cats

Giee, whose name came from the sound of an opening door, is one of those very homey all-genre live music venues with a "mama" located in the college town of Kokubunji along the Chuo line. When you open the door, you see a rather small place that looks like somebody's living room with musical equipment. There is a full set of drums but no extremely loud music is allowed. Also worth mentioning is that this venue is NON-SMOKING. Smokers are supposed to smoke outside. The female owner, Ms. Miwa, loves music and cooks nice homey food for you too. It's a very friendly place, so please do not hesitate to open the door and step in.

It's only a few minute walk from the North Exit of the Kokubunji station.

Take the street right outside the North exit, turn right, walk straight to pass Tsutaya on your left, and turn left at the next corner, walk down the hill, and Giee is on the right hand side.
