June 9th is Rock-n-Roll day in Japan, and on Okinawa there will be a variety of rock-n-roll events taking place in live music bars and halls.
The Rock-n-Roll day comes from putting together the number 6, which is ‘roku’ in Japanese, and 9, ‘ku’, that together, when pronounced in Japanese way sounds similar to “rock.”.
