	SHOKICHI KINA & CHAMPLOOSE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Most notably, 'Haisai Ojisan', which he wrote when he was just 16, and famously was a hit while he was in prison on a drugs charge, and 'Hana' the original version of which in 1980 featured Ry Cooder, and has been covered ubiquitously by singers across Asia and as far away as Madagascar.
		Kina has survived despite himself, his music suffering at the expense of his energies, however well intentioned, being channeled elsewhere into various causes.
		The musicians gradually get swamped, with Kina's grinning face popping up and down somewhere in the mayhem as he pogoes and punches the air, the irony being he's now turning into that gray haired old man, taunted by a younger woman on his bawdy hit, "Haisai Ojisan".

		Shoukichi Kina is an Okinawan guitarist who's well known among musicians; he's played with Ry Cooder, David Lindley, and others.
		Kina is a superb guitarist; more than that, he's a songwriter of great power.
		You don't have to understand Okinawan to listen to this hauntingly beautiful ballad, featuring Kina's crystal-clear guitar and a voice of power and longing, and understand that it asks those old, hopeless questions we all come to, sooner or later.

	Shoukichi Kina: Okinawa New Wave
		I first heard a fuzzy, 10th generation cassette of a live recording by Okinawa's Shoukichi Kina and Champloose back in 1980, from a radio listener who had lived in Japan in the late seventies.
		A very good recording that was probably Kina's most aggressive attempt to expand the roots of his music without some of the schmaltz-pop abuses of later recordings.
		Kina's political commitment to the furtherance of Okiniawan culture shines through his work, no matter how indecipherable the language may be to you.

		Singer and lead songwriter Shoukichi Kina's electric shamisen was a particularly distinctive part of their sound.
		First major single was the classic "Haisai Ojisan" (Hey, old man), written while Kina was still in high school but not a hit until a few years later, in 1972.
		Later, Champloose's version of the Okinawan folk song "Jin Jin" (Firefly) was a minor hit in British discos, and their ballad "Hana" (Flowers), with vocals by Kina's wife, became a weepy favourite in many Asian countries.

		While in senior high school, Shoukichi Kina composed “Hai Sai Ojisan,” which later became one of the greatest hit tunes ever to originate in Okinawa.

		David: Kina Shoukichi, as he is known in Japan, comes from Okinawa, but had a huge impact on the Japanese pop scene as early as the mid-`70s.
		He was probably the first to mix traditional intruments, asian melodies and singing with rock and reggae beats...
		So, it took an Okinawan (Kina Shoukichi, as he is properly known, is Okinawan, not Japanese) to lead the way and make the breakthrough in Japanese pop for something truly unique and different to come into being.

		Their nutty reggae/koto/kazoo version of "Let It Be" off their second album is still one of my radio show's most requested songs, even after two years of over-kill.
		They never achieve the fever of Kina or the Typhoons, but they may have found their niche in the slower tempos and sweeter melodies of these songs.
		Fans of Shoukichi Kina will find this to be totally absorbing, fans of the harder edged downtown scene will find this transposition to Asian mode fascinating.

		Silent-dog-whistle aficionados will relish the relentless female vocalists of Shoukichi Kina's band.
		Thank heavens for the balancing testosterone-pumping energy of Shoukichi himself, whose emergence holds back until the third cut to insure a dramatic entrance.
		As the intensely engaging songs here prove, Kina is the indisputable godfather of Okinawan pop, the inventor of a genre that combines elements of local folk music, Japanese-style vocals, Western instrumentation, and Kina's axe, the plucky sanshin banjo -- augmented on several cuts by Ry Cooder's electric guitar.
