沖縄県那覇市にある民謡ライブハウス〈まさかやぁ〜〉。ここで毎晩、三線の早引き演奏を繰り広げる元ヤクザの三線演奏者「ケン坊」の１日に密着。ヤクザ時代の経験や、足を洗ってからの音楽活動について語ってくれた。
Kenbo is a local celebrity in Okinawa. In the capital city of Naha and elsewhere, everyone is aware of his homely restaurant venue called Masakaya. Kenbo wasn’t always the smiling, good natured Buddha-like character he is today. For eight years he was a member of one of Japan’s organized crime syndicates, or Yakuza. His two pinky fingers, or lack thereof, reveals a troubled past consisting of alcohol, drug abuse, fights, and gambling. After getting ex-communicated from his Yakuza clan, he eventually turned his life around with the help of his love for Okinawan music – the Sanshin in particular, which is often likened to a banjo, with a snakeskin-covered body, neck and three strings. VICE hangs out with Kenbo and his family, listens to his old Yakuza stories and his tunes.
