Timeline

2018

When asked if his studies at Tokyo Art College had helped him in his musical career, he replied: "At that time, Mick Karn of Japan, Steve Strange of Visage, and a lot of other musicians combined the notions of Art and Music with their own new style.

He has also stated that he derives much of his influence from baroque styles common throughout the 18th century.
