First up is a band named Flyying Colours. Quick! Here’s their webpage.

They spell their name wrong 😉 so it’s easy to find them… But here’s their Facebook page anyway. Definitely go Like that! https://www.facebook.com/flyyingcolours/

At #1 this week are four guys from Atlanta, Georgia. They say they like to play rock n roll music and party. I have been playing these guys just about everyday on my daily radio show on Rakuten Superrr Radio and the reaction has been very good. The Future Babes also have a Facebook page, go check it out: https://www.facebook.com/thefuturebabes/?fref=ts

#1) The Future Babes- Cold Blooded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8gHgWZBv30

SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! First up is a band that was introduced to me by my friend Satoshi Miyaki. Another cool Japanese girl’s rock band!… But wait a minute! There’s a foreign girl in the band playing guitar too! Way cool! Their name is the Twinkle Twinkles. I know NOTHING about them as I have written to their label and have received no answer (that actually happens surprisingly a lot!) But when I played them on the radio on my Sunday show, everyone seemed to like it. Here’s the Facebook page for the Twinkle Twinkles: https://www.facebook.com/Twinkle-Twinkles-229909200404887/?fref=ts

As a university student, he was assistant to the legendary Rodney Bingenheimer (Rodney on the ROQ – KROQ Los Angeles from 1980 ~ 1981.) Mike was the first and only foreigner in Japanese history to become the General Manager of a major Japanese broadcasting station (TV Tokyo owned InterFM). Has produced a few smash hit programs and several of Japan’s highest rated and most famous radio programs. Recent Smash Hits were “The TV Show” (Set Program with “Ninja Slayer”) which, between April – Oct. 2015, garnered over 10 million viewers.  He is currently producing and hosting “WTF?” the smash hit Sunday live show on InterFM 89.7 as well as Rakuten Power Morning everyday Mon. ~ Fri. 6 am ~ 10 am. His life’s dream is a motion picture which is near completion that he wrote and produced.

Oh, and Mike drinks too much.
