I turned 60 this year and work as a doctor in the middle of nowhere on the Kanto Plain, 100km north of Tokyo. I resumed composing in 2018 after a 32-year hiatus. For two years, from 1978, I lived in Rye, New York, due to my father's work. Rye had an amusement park and a wooden roller coaster. It was so cold in the winter that I couldn't walk outside without earmuffs because my ears hurt. New York is my spiritual home, and although I'll never live there again, I sometimes feel like my heart returns to Rye.
Artist Profile
Kigen
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.
