Live Music Bar JET – We're Rockin' the Rock

Live Music Bar JET has several different types of original memorabilia to help remind you of your visit with us. (Authentic Live Music Bar JET Happiness is: Rock ‘n Roll & Beer goods are only available at the club.)

Original Site Established: 20 October 2000

Located on the infamous Gate 2 Street, near Goya Four Corners in Koza, Live Music Bar JET opens its doors every Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m.

Gate 2 Street (just outside Kadena AB Gate 2) offers a wide array of music clubs where most people should be able to find a place that suits their individual tastes.

Live Music Bar JET was established when JET bassist, Taki Furugen, financed, constructed [with the help of Jimmy Ginoza (the original guitarist), Etsu Aguni (the original drummer), Kiyomitsu Kubota (the sound engineer), Gimasan, Keichi Watari, Ikeshirosan, and numerous other lovers of vintage rock music], and opened the bar in 1994. Live Music Bar JET is about vintage rock music and mature-minded people who know how to appreciate and enjoy it without getting into other people’s faces or trying to become the main attraction! Luckily that is the type of customer we normally get at the club. Our customers come from all walks of life and range from parents of service members visiting from stateside to young cola-sipping musicians who want a chance to gain knowledge about rock music through observations of live performances. The bar offers an informal and relaxed atmosphere with outstanding vintage classic rock music and reasonably priced drinks.

Hi and welcome to the new site. I have already moved the messages from the board at the previous site and placed them below. Just look for the appropriate categories to view former posts. I hope to have this new site completed within the week and appreciate your bearing with us as we make the change over.

At the end of Saturday night, one of our regulars told me that there had been a “Best of…” vote earlier this year in the Stars and Stripes and that Bar JET was voted #1 in the live music category for Okinawa. We want to thank all of you who voted for us. We’re sorry that we didn’t thank you earlier, but we didn’t even know about the voting. I just wish I could find the article on the net, so I can show it to the band! I’m sure they would get a kick out of actually seeing in print that you think so highly of them. Again, thank you for acknowledging the effort they put into the music.
