I concentrated all of my business on my office. I did them at my clients'
offices before, but now I do them at my office.

●Business
With Mr. Paul Smith, famous designer. Paul Smith Japan made me an ukulele.
●My Performance

I started working as a musician in 1991 when I was a high school student.
I played hard rock, folk songs, flamenco, classical music, etc on many
kinds of guitars.
At the age of 24, I lived in Hawaii for my music business. After coming
back to Japan, I found an ukulele at the music shop on Tokyo. I touched
it for the first time since I came back from Hawaii. The sound was sweet
and I missed there.
I played the ukulele at my concert as a joke. I played the Ventures' tune
at that time. Audience was surprised. I noticed the ukulele had great possibility
to move people.
In 2006, I wrote a tune called "Evergreen Day." It got the first
prize of about 55,000 tunes (all tunes) on Yamaha's music website. "Evergreen Day" made me famous as an ukulele player.

My ukulele style consists of all kinds of the guitar style. Especially
my ukulele was influenced by agressive sound of flamenco, tenderness of
Bossa Nova. and ambiguity of Jazz.
I aspire to the stylish sound with tenderness of the ukulele.
