The Beatles when I was a kid. Is it small 4? I was excited about that melody everyday.
I edited it into a cassette tape, and often four people gathered at my friend's house and had a broom and had a cheap concert. I'm John, I'm Apple, and so on. If you think about it now, it's karaoke. When I was a high school student, M TV suddenly started at Sony presents, and it was greatly influenced by music videos. From that time, video and music became a set for me.

By the way, much of what I've done in the past is making games, making music videos, writing stories, and writing lyrics. That's why I have many opportunities to ask musicians to write songs. I've been working with Ken Ishii on "Rez", Shinichi Osawa on "Lumines", and Michael Jackson on "Space Channel 5". I have also started a unit called Genki Rockets.

For me, music is an inspiration source in itself, so I listen to it all the time. Most of them are in the car, while walking. While I'm abroad, I always carry a piece of music that is in the process of completion to see how it feels in the land.

Recently, I've been recording various sounds by myself, the sounds of the waves I have taken in Hawaii, the sounds of rain in Bali, the crowds of the back alleys in Paris, and so on. I work while mixing my favorite music.

  • Product name

    Café Bleu / The Style Council

    In an inconvenient time when there was no internet yet, I was fascinated by the music played at a coffee shop (not a cafe), and on the way home I bought a jacket and bought an album (LP). The song is a piano version of "My Ever Changing Moods".

    UF Off: The Best of the Orb / The Orb

    I sometimes listen in the car. Actually, it's nice to listen to it while blowing through the desert or death valley in Arizona. Especially in the evening, as the sky slowly darkens over time and the colors change beautifully, it is the best to listen to.

  • Product name

    Double Fantasy / John Lennon & Yoko Ono

    This album became a treasure in my heart when I met Yoko Ono on the J-WAVE program last year and when I knew what they were feeling and what they were doing in that era. Nothing more or less than this, it's a truly straightforward work, a pure collaboration.
