Ça a été au moins aussi compliqué que si j'avais tenté d'avoir ABBA (exagération totale).Avant toute chose un grand merci à Eri Komasaki, intermédiaire et traductrice patiente sans qui je n'aurais rien à publier aujourd'hui.
Cette longue attente doit faire partie des charmes du pays (non).
J'ai bien tenté de récupérer une copie en idéogrammes, ce qui aurait été esthétique à vos petits yeux d'européens et fort pratique à ceux de mes lecteurs japonais, mais en vain, cacahuètes les enfants.
Pour ce qui est du coin bio disons qu'il est né en 1967 contre 1968 pour Mademoiselle Agnès et que sa carrière est bien trop vaste pour en faire état année par année.
L'essentiel est de savoir qu'avant d'évoluer seul, il officiait en tant que batteur et leader d'un groupe pop japonais ultra connu là-bas, Mondo Grosso.
L'essentiel est aussi de se rappeler que la meilleure manière de le connaître est encore d'écouter sa musique.
Les itw sont rares et les réponses bien sobres...

It has been as complicated as if I had tried to have ABBA ( not true).
Before anything, one big thank you to Eri Komasaki, intermediary and translator without whom I would have nothing to publish today.
This long wait should be part of charms of the country (no).
I tried to get a copy in ideograms, what would have been beautiful to your small European eyes and very practical to those of my Japanese readers, but in vain. Sorry kids.
As for the biographic corner, let's say that he was born in 1967 against 1968 for Mademoiselle Agnès and that his career is way too vast to tell year by year.
All you have to know is that before evolving solo, he officiated as a drummer and a leader in a Japanese pop group very famous over there, Mondo Grosso.
All I have to remind you too is that the best way of knowing him is still to listen to his music.
Itw are rare and the answers are always very sober.
1- How was your trip in Paris, did you enjoyed the french audience
It was in April this year at the NME Elysée Montmartre party. I enjoyed it very much. The Audience was awesome.
2- You're new on DIM MAK. What does it represent to you ?
I like being a part of their label. I'm glad they liked my stuff and released my last album in US !
3- Is your album coming ? Is there a particular thing you like us to retain from this first release on DM ?
I’m in a studio recording some tracks for the next album right now. I’m looking forward to a new mode and a new attitude.
I think the next one will not just going to be a dance-oriented hard music !
4- What's the best part of your work ?
As all facets of my musical activities are important part of me, it's very difficult to say what is the best... But I should say that composing/making music is really the base that lies beneath me.
5- Which artist do you respect the most in the electro world ?
I feel sympathy with Tiga, Soulwax, Erol Alkan and Switch.

1- Los Valentinos - Thief (Shinichi Osawa rmx)
