Just my luck- I wait all my life for a band of bikini-clad trombone players, and when I finally discover one I find out they broke up last month. Tsk!
“Futomomo Satisfaction” featured three female trombonists in bikinis,
performing covers of The Ramones, The Rolling Stones and Buggles, alongside original tunes. The three fetching girls, Jackie, Suzuyakko, and Lumiere, certainly put the “bone” in “trombone,” if you catch my drift.
The girls described themselves on their Myspace Page thus:
Futomomo Satisfaction is a Japanese bikini Trombone gal band.
This revolutional icon in Japanese indies, will inevitably fascinate you!
Indeed. This is the exact kind of inspired, uncynical silliness and lack of regard for convention that keeps me living in Japan. Here are some videos of their shows.
Here’s a link to the Futomomo Satisfaction website.

hah. no wonder they broke up, they suck! Their bikinis are way too unrevealing, and they lack any kind of coordination. Back to the brothels, ladies!

they’re pretty solid when they’re not singing. but yeah, without the bikinis, there’s not much to ‘em.
and I can honestly say, in all my years playing trombone, I never once thought about wearing a bikini while playing.

Ah. You guys are mean!

Since nobody else is going to make a sexist, immature comment, I will…
These girls would be better off playing the boneophone.

Ha ha! Or the pink oboe.

I remember seeing a video of these gals a while back. Damn shame they are not around anymore.

I may have spoken too soon- they’re doing a gig in March, randomly enough in Austin Texas.

Lumiere is my favorite, I met her at the Shibuya concert and she was really cute and fun to hang out with after the show

For those who like the skin and trombones, they appear to have made up……they just played at SXSW in Austin last week and they ROCKED!
