I grew up in an environment where my father loves Pink Floyd and my mother loves Takuro Yoshida. As a child, it was the golden age of television and radio. The Best Ten, Best Hits USA, Snakeman Show, etc., always Air Check (dead language). Speaking of magazines, the old treasure island. In high school, I used to buy illegal MIX dubbing tapes from various clubs (cafe bar? lol) that were sold in the building next to Parco in Shibuya.
Plenty of 80's.

I have been living abroad for about 11 years since I was 32 years old. 3 years in Holland, 1 year in Sri Lanka, and 7 years back and forth between Thailand and Japan. During that time, I started a music event called Soi-music centered on Thailand and Japan, and started to do many live lighting and art especially in Thailand. Music is an omnivorous food, but the four selections are chronological, and I tried to select them for girls only in the frame of non-Western music that I often listened to abroad.

    Junior Sweet / Chara

    One of the Spanish architects who had been housewives at home in Amsterdam during the first two years of the Dutch era, especially in the first two years. Every week I had a home party and it fits well with my European life. The next album, Strange Fruits, is also great.

    Deep river / Hikaru Utada

    In the Sri Lankan era, the overwhelming sun and the intense darkness paired with it, a 1-minute walk to the beach, a planned blackout for 5 hours every day, and the courage to cross 4 lanes without traffic lights.
    In such a primitive environment, a piece of Japanese soul and Western talent that made me feel the most in Tokyo.

  • Product name

    I Am a gardener / bear-garden

    The first piece I bought in Thailand when I landed in Bangkok. A masterpiece in which the sweetness of women's Thai language and the quality of Northern Europe can be solved with Nampla. Oh, there was a subculture here! (Tired eyes. I myself had experience as a member of the Kanto area tour later. Also, along with the Panda records compilation, ACCESSORIES.

  • Product name

    Punk in a coma / Momokomotion

    In the Thai era (half of Japan), my house & soulmate momoko in Bangkok, and a solo dancer from the legendary Bangkok band futon (futon), who had participated in the stage as a performance dancer several times. One of the whole body that debuted. She currently resides in Tokyo. New song!
