Sunrising Sake Blues.  Hirai & Okunbor 2017. 
Early in the morning
Moon is hanging low.
It's 6 o clock in the morning
City's lost its neon glow.

Running the sidewalk
Stumble in midnight shoes
Got them....I feel them
I'm down with the Sunrise Sake Blues.

I was holed-up half the night
In some ole Habushu bar.
Drinkin until the daylight
Snakey voodoo jars.

Now I'm dizzy on the sidewalk
Sparkling Sake Flu.
Feel them....I got them
I'm down with the Sunrising Sake Blues.

Well the crowd got kinda tricky
When I raised my glass in toast
Cryin "Ikki Ikki! Down it!
Let's see who can drink the most."

"Kanpai!"

Lord it's early in the morning.
City's lost that magic glow.

Trippin' the sidewalk,
Broken midnight shoes
I got them....I feel them,
I'm cut down by the
Sunrise and the Sake Blues.

Sunrising Sake Blues

Sunrising Sake Blues ~ Yutaka Hirai & Chris O

Eclectic ( I try), Australian Visual Artist-Musician. Hello all - UPDATE Xtrobitz Project 2025. Christopher Russell - Hey, thanks for still listening.   I have been spending time painting recently due to ongoing spinal injuries and carpal tunnel that have affected my ability to play many instruments.
Hopefully, I will get to try out a handcrafted harp made by a family wood artisan.  I would love to collaborate with creative musical projects in the recording domain. However, I never say never and hope to be able to finish some musical ideas as soon as everything calms down and heals, fingers crossed.  As mentioned, to outlet creative stress, I create and exhibit artworks. Ref: the Instagram link and my Christopher Russell Redbubble Shop.   Cheers to all, and keep producing musical gems for people who are seeking new and refreshing sounds from around the globe. 🎸🥂
The soundtrack multimedia, etc. project of former GOTHIC FARMYARD, (circa early youthful 1980s) drummer-instrumentalist, Xristo Russell, and other pseudonyms over the past 45ys. My ongoing project is Xtrobitz with occasional contributions from other musicians, which is more fun. My involvement in other bands from the past:  Blackwater (70s), Gothic Farmyard, Moonshots (King Jerklews), KKlux Frankenstein, The Delightfuls blues band, Bronwyn Johnson Blues band, etc, Electronic music Mr Megatron, Tin Ears. 
Many recording contributions, mainly drums for hire, and I record on my new Roland TD27KV2 now. The acoustic gear is packed away, Etc. Xtrobitz music project includes fragmented guitar, keyboard soundscapes, and rhythms to help propel this set of instrumentals, short soundtracks, and snapshots.  I give my best shot for amusement these days.
Cheers, and I hope you enjoy my eccentric hobby with some collaborations.
