When I was in the upper grades of elementary school, I started to be aware of music because of my uncle. Of my uncle's favorite records, my favorite was ROLLING ST ONE S. When I entered junior high school, I went to a CD shop with all my pocket money and bought a lot of CDs centering around rock in the 60s and 70s. What was especially shocking was that the spinal cord was numb in the 1st of VELVET UNDERGROUND. Anyway, it was messy, sweet and good looking. I listened only to old western music and garage rock, but due to the influence of friends around me, I also started to listen to Japanese music of the same age. I listened to Michelle Gun Elephant, Blanky Jet City, Elephant Kashimashi, Number Gull, etc. As a high school student, I began to play Western music in the 1980s and 1990s. I was fascinated by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, My Blood Valentin, Dinosaur Jr. pavement and pixies. When I entered university, I became interested in noise and free jazz as a result of NO NEW YORK. The work that was especially impressive was Masayuki Takayanagi/Kaoru Abe's disorganization. Recently, I've been listening to things that I thought were good for all genres regardless of musical taste. As I'm writing this, Antony And The Johnsons is playing from the speaker. The most listened music I met in 2009-2010.

  • Product name

    The Velvet Underground and Nico / The Velvet Underground and Nico

    The first work I met in Velvets. The atmosphere that is familiar with the work and is avant-garde. Still, catchy songs. Lou Reed's voice, Viola like John Kailno's scream. Warhol jacket. Everywhere is the best. I think it has had the most impact on my life. In the middle of the song called Heroin, Lurie's dry laughter "haha!" is really cool.

  • Product name

    Life / Elephant Kashimashi

    I was fascinated by the lyrical style lyrics, humming songs, and void atmosphere. And I was deeply absorbed in the lyrics of "The man goes", "The pig is a pearl, and the songs that Kisama and his friends have lost."

  • Product name

    Slanted and Enchanted / pavement

    Anyway, I think it's a romantic album that is noisy, heroic, messy and sweet. I think it's also influenced by guitar play. Personally, I really like the song mouth on the desart. I like the chorus that sings with fluff.

  • Product name

    VA / NO NEW YORK

    A work that bridged with guitarists of this age such as Art Lindsay, John Zone, and Mark Ribeau. I think I am very influenced by them. In this album, Art Lindsay's guitar with DNA is incredibly cool.
