I started my musical career as a home taping artist.

Ordinary kids were trying to imitate guitar heroes such as
Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Ace & Paul of KISS... at that time late 70's.
But I hated to play guitar only for copying someone.
And of course I was low tech at that time...or at all times?
I bought my own guitar at 15. It was a black Stratocaster model made in Japan (Fernandez).
Then first I tried to play "Detroit Rock City" 's amazing guitar solos.
But I couldn't.
Gave up.......
The only lick I could play was main riff of "Smoke On The Water".
I HATED ANY TRAINING. For me, trying hard is the worst.
Then I started to compose my own music.
Using 2 tape recorders and dubbed dubbed dubbed until they became a chunk of noise...
I made several cassette albums from 1980 to 1983. See Discography .
My musical interest was slowly changed by the music that I made by myself.
