The Sweet Hollywaiians, Tomotaka Matsui (steel guitar), Mario Takada (ukulele/vocals), Tak Nakayama (guitar), Kohichi Tsutsumishita (bass), play anything from jug band, Dixieland, Tin Pan Alley, and Hawaii tunes.  Watch Takada's right hand fan work- extraordinary!  Unlike many current Japanese performers, these guys actually sing- a welcome relief from instrumentally rich recordings of late.

In addition to performing as the Sweet Hollywaiians, the group also conducts the Sweet Strings Orchestra.  I can't think of a better way to have fun with a bunch of friends!
