March 25th, 2015: Live at Shimokitazawa Loft!

ライブがまた迫ってきます！今度はまた下北沢ロフトで行います。New live gig coming up! It's at Shimkitazawa Loft once again.

3/25 下北沢ロフトhttp://www.shimokitazawa-loft.com/live/page006.html  [40 min live] ￥1500 ticket (with 1 free drink!), 18:30 open, 19:00 start, 19:40 act (出番)

このライブの後は、しばらくはあまりブッキングライブを頻繁にしなくなります。なんでかっていうと、もっと自分の音楽に磨きを入れたいと思ったからです(>_<)　１年に３，４回できるくらいかな？でもその代りに、もっとyoutubeやsoundcloudで曲やビデオを配信できるようにします。自分の音楽をもっと自分のやりたいものに近づけさせて、たくさんの人に楽しんでもらえるように頑張ります！

After this live gig, I wouldn't be booking livehouses so much as before. I'd perhaps book about 3 or 4 live gigs in a year. It's because I wanted to take more time on my music and the making of it. (>_<) Instead though, I'll be putting more efforts on Youtube and soundcloud! I need to bring my music nearer to how exactly I wanted to express, and let it be heard to a much bigger audience than now. 

↑７歳くらいのときかなっ！

おもちゃのギターは弟の。

When I was about 7 years old? I think! 

That's my brother's toy guitar ;)

Introduction to my new unit band, MUTUAL CLOCK;
this is a unit band formed in the late May of 2014 , by me and my unit mate Kevin. We both do the vocals and guitar. We create and cover songs. With Kevin's rock n' roll taste and my rock/pop music insight, we combine our different music perceptions together, and make unity within music. What's mutual for us is the passion toward music, our strong ambition with music, and most of all, our shared time together.  MUTUAL CLOCK will be our sub-activity, since we both have our main activity with music (I'm with solo project and he's with his band), but we will not fade out our efforts in the music for MUTUAL CLOCK regardless of how busy we are!

Our first live is here;

12/18 (Thursday) at 下北沢ロフト(Shimokitazawa Loft), opening at 18:30, starting at 19:00. ￥1500 to enter!

First Live @SARAVAH東京

My very very first live was at SARAVAH東京, a live bar at Shibuya. I had 10 minutes to perform my originals, which I was planning to sing two songs...but ended up running out of time in the middle of my second song! (>_<) Too bad! I talked too much at the MC hehe.

Songs presented at the show:

1. I Won't Do

2. Hierarchy  (which I had to stop in the middle..)

Hear my preview for 'I Won't Do' through the video; credits going to my brother Yuki:
