Using Japanese-language texts and fieldwork interviews, this paper discusses Okinawan musicians who played rock music in Koza, Okinawa, in bars and clubs catering to American soldiers during the period of the American military occupation of Okinawa, especially during the Vietnam War years from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. I argue that these musicians' musical practices and identities must be understood as constructed under conditions of colonial modernity and as involving the articulations of cultural appropriation and authenticity within the context of Okinawa as a culture contact zone
