David Lee Roth has posted video of an acoustic blues performance recorded at a studio in Tokyo, Japan.
Billed as “The Oo-oka River Blues”, the Van Halen frontman can be seen playing slide on his acoustic guitar while sitting on the floor of Onkio Haus studios, interspersed with footage of the rocker performing some of his martial arts moves.
The song is attributed to David Lee Roth and the Kabuki Orchestra.
Roth became a resident of Tokyo in 2012; he continues to maintain homes in New York City and Pasadena, California.
Reports indicate Van Halen are actively working on a new album, the follow-up to 2012’s “A Different Kind Of Truth.”
In a recent episode of The Roth Show, the singer revealed that he has been working on a secret Van Halen project.
“Doing some catching up here, a little bit of a scrapbook,” said the singer. “We’ve been doing a lot of travelling. [I’ve been] working on a great Van Halen project - can’t announce anything … or I’d have to come find you and swear you to secrecy.”
