A big hit locally in Okinawa and its easy to hear why. Team Kukuru are the two young female Okinawa pop duo, Kuyu and Eri, singing a mixture of Okinawan tunes (Jin Jin, Hana nu Kajimaya) Japanese (Mangetsu no Yube, Sukiyaki) and original tunes. Formed in 2004 they mainly perfom in Okinawa and in Osaka where Kuyu was born. Some songs arranged and produced by Kenji Yano (Surf Champlers) while Sachiko Shima writes some of the songs and plays sanshin. With Hawaiian and other global influences and strong melodies this is exactly what Okinawan pop should sound like. Bright and breezy.
