I grew up near the north exit of Kunitachi Station from the age of 5 until I graduated from high school at age 18. During that time, I spent two years in New York from the age of 12 due to my father's work. The nursery school I attended was located at the south exit of Kunitachi Station, and my mother would drop me off and pick me up. My favorite thing is seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom on Daigaku-dori Street in spring.
I work as a physician in a small town on the Kanto Plain, about 100 kilometers north of Tokyo. From 1978 to 1980, I lived in New York because of my father's work. The atmosphere and scenery of those years remain one of the greatest inspirations behind my music. As a teenager, I discovered jazz, which completely changed the way I listened to and understood music. I was also deeply influenced by YMO and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Today, I compose freely across many genres, including jazz, techno, classical, and world music. In 2018, after a 27-year break, I returned to composing. Since then, I have written more than 200 pieces of music, releasing them one by one as a record of my life. Rather than staying within a single genre, I enjoy turning memories, landscapes, and ideas into music. Someday, if I can naturally write an enka song, I might consider that a personal milestone as a composer. If even one of my pieces resonates with you, I would be truly grateful.
