...that which remains.

About Me

KEIMA (pronounced KAY-MA) is the project of Keima Ohi, and falls somewhere under the category of alternative rock. There are electronic elements in my music, and some of my songs are straight forward industrial. I generally dislike genres and the categorization of music and musicians. Having said that, I find myself returning again and again to music that has some sort of melancholy feel to it. Call it gothic, call it darkwave, call it industrial, or whatever. Sometimes however, I'll write a song that is best expressed through only an acoustic guitar, and my voice, and I'll record it that way. I don't like to limit myself in terms of how I'm going to express myself. I hope to create music that captures facets of my existence with honesty and sincerity. I believe in music as an art form and its ability to express that which words alone cannot. I hope that you enjoy my work.

Will to Power as Love for Humanity.

Where the Will to Power manifests itself as a Love for Humanity, there will you find the overman. Caesar with the soul of Christ.

Break the chains that bind.

Thoughts and speech were meant to be free. Never let anyone tell you what to think. Never fear the truth. Never stop asking questions. Never let your innocence die. What do I want? What I really want ...
