About Me


Born in a small rural village in Japan and got hooked on "Refugee" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers when I was really a kid.
Since then, I kept pursuing good music until I found my beloved hero (and now a very precious friend) Wilko Johnson (of Dr.Feelgood fame), who had been teamed up with the greatest bassist ever existed in the music history, Norman Watt-Roy (of The Blockheads fame), and the charming powerhouse drummer, Salvatore Ramundo.
These three guys (esp. Wilko) changed my life and destiny (I was bound to end up as a boring high-school English teacher otherwise). I went on running his fan club with my two comrades. I went on even further to move to England, where I lived for 5 years and worked for Wilko for quite a while. Thanks to Wilko and his more than just kind and gentle wife, I've learnt English and had a good fortune to meet a lot of truly good musicians - The Blockheads, The Pirates, Lew Lewis, Wreckless Eric, John Otway, Benjamin Tehoval, Makoto Ayukawa, Sheena & The Rokkets, and so on and on - lovely people in music business, and very nice fans and friends of his. Now, 20 years of my life have been dedicated to Wilko and the rest of my life will be bound to.
I really would like to thank Wilko for his kindness and generosity to remain as a friend, despite some stupid outrages I threw at him time to time.
Additionally, I would love to offer my utmost respect to Tom Petty, who made me realise that music is great and filled up 27 years of my life with full of joy and happiness, as well as leading me to the world of music and to my final destination, Wilko Johnson.
Bob Dylan with Tom Petty "Lucky Old Sun": I love watching Tom smoking!
