I was impressed by jazz, being a high school student. So I learned from Marth Miyake(vo) to be a vocalist. I started to play the jazz piano in a jazz circle of Komazawa Univ. Six months later, I started to sing to my own accompaniment on the piano in Tokyo. Then Isao Suzuki-a jazz bassist-recognized me as a vocalist, and then at ROB ROY, Aoyama, I played for Masayuki Nakatomi trio.
For about 10 years singing to my own accompaniment on the piano, then I stopped to play. Since 1995, I came back as a pianist.
I have started to compose notes. I appeared as a pianist on the movie "Zawa-Zawa, Shimokitazawa" starring Ken Watanabe (nominated academy award), Fujiko Hemingway (Classical pianist), Seietsu Ozawa (Son of Seiji Ozawa, a famous conductor) and other popular actors and actress.
Now I play at hotel lounge or live houses. I like accompany singers because I myself was a singer.
I used to appeared as a commentator at Katsushika FM station once a month.
My favorite musician is Lars Jansson from Sweden. I respect him. I often play his music.
I study jazz under professor Yasutoshi Inamori who is the advisor council of IAJE (International Associates for Jazz Education) and published about 100 theory books.
I have a license of a teacher of popular piano, and teach beginners.
I wrote a book "God has a plan", it is published October, 2007.
It is about my life threatened by possibility of the fatal disease named "ALS",and music and love.
