I believe I love music. Since I am busy, I have taken only a fraction of the time with guitar and music. But I would love to play and listen music again. So, I decided to write little about music.
I am a not good player though, I used to think how I can play the guitar better. And I wanted people to be good player, which makes me frustrate so much. But playing instruments well should not be first priority. In Japanese, music is 音楽. 音 means sounds, 楽 means enjoy. And I always thought, since I am not good at playing, so I have no right to say something about music. That must be wrong. I can understand now. Tell me your music life when we meet also.
I will write music I like. Here are my favorite musicians I revised from the previous post.
1. Japanese female vocalist, artist
Mika Nakashima, YUKI, Kana Uemura, bird, orange pekoe, dorlis, Klambon(I don’t know English name), Shina Ringo, Perfume, Tokyo Jihen.
2. Japanese male vocalist, pianist, band.
KUMAMI, Hirotaka Mori, Kazumasa Oda, Blanky Jet city, hide, Scoobie Do, Theater Brook, Suga Shikao, Motohiro Hata, HIrotaka Mori, Fumido, Porn graphity, Eikichi Yazawa, Tokyo Ska paradise Orchestra, Cool Drive makers, Fumido.
Today, I will recommend Bird ’ Souls’ She is good at singing funk music. I like actually the guitar sounds what her band make. I like to play ‘Cutting’ in the band. My goal is making comfortable sounds in the band like what the guitarist in her band does.

Today, I also will recommend Crazy Ken band ’Hirugao’ They are the band who play mainly at Yokohama. They consist of relatively elder persons. But each person in the band know their own role. They make so comfortable sound.

6. My ideal player is Char, Masayoshi Takanaka, Tomo Fujita.
This is from Tomo Fujita. “Just funky”. I published famous DVD guitar lecture. I always practice based on his textbook. He focus on the basic techniques. He is now associate professor at Berklee college of music
I will write review for each musician here later. And I will rewrite this post again. And I want to broaden my perspective based on this list. Tell me your favorite musician also!!
