The first album I bought when I was in the lower grades of elementary school was "Manga Dai March".
After that, due to my father's influence, I got into Bruch's violin concerto, and the passionate violin was the origin of rock when I think about it now.

When I entered junior high school, there was a weekly feature on the Beatles FM
Put a cassette in front of the radio every day and check the air (laughs).

After that, my tutor heard deep purple,
I'm crazy about Ritchie's guitar solo.
After that, he spent his high school days in punk, new wave, noise, and contemporary music.

Recently, I copied it with a classmate of junior high school for the first time at that time,
A complete copy band of deep purple, "Cheap purple"
Wearing a crane and revived for the first time in 30 years.
