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

-DEBUT ALBUM DROPS SEPTEMBER 
"KNOWLEDGE "





It's great to finally be here and I can't wait to find some great music and I do know that it's here.  People "create" so many things and I love most of the Arts but music, is what affects me more than any other art form. And especially since it's performed by some really good and downright UN-lawfully (fun word) passionate and great performers. So my interest in music is that of my spirit and what I feel.  I am in love with MUSIC.  and YOU?  ARE YOU?  Like many of you, there will be times I can't be here on Soundcloud but I will always Be Here!!
  I hope that all are doing well and are enjoying the holidays season.  I celebrate Christmas, however, I support all other religions especially those of "peace" and "good will for all".  My celebrating my faith, does not mean that I do not honor all faiths.  So those of you who have so painfully lost someone of No Faith or All Faiths, I want you to know that I care.  I do NOT want to offend any soul or faith.
  I am so excited about this cloud that is called Angel.  I love Angels too!  I feel that I am in love with the world.  And oh what a wonderful world you are at times!!!!!  I never forget that and what a wonderful community we have here to celebrate life. 
   I know that SC is sometimes a bit messy, but right now, I can deal with a little bit of mess...as long as I can listen to YOUR music~ Thank you ...thanks to all of you - Angel  - you know angels can be fun and they also love to have fun - uh oh~ Wink!
