My musical activities started in 2001 at a university jazz club as a jazz guitarist. Since the earliest phase of my activities, I have played not only jazz but also improvisation and things like post-rock. Music created from the interaction of players sometimes beyond my creativity and imagination. Improvisation is great experience, but it is a very instantaneous phenomenon like a spark of fireworks. So, I began trying to convert my momentary musical ideas into reproducibly tangible forms and materialize my personal vision of music. In this way, I started create music on my own in 2006.

About "kimidoritoao" and my music: "kimidoritoao" means "greenish yellow and blue" in Japanese. I not only compose music in chip-style, but also electronica things. "kimidoritoao" is my chip-style project name. Chip tones, which have simple artificial waves, are not an enchanting, organic and warm sound for me. I don't know why, but somehow the sound of it echoes compellingly inside me. I think music must not exist only for music itself. And music must not be treated as a method only to express one's feelings, emotions and thoughts. In some ways, these are very significant factors of music. But what i'm trying to do is make music as a part of my life. This might sound ordinary, but is really hard to implement.

"Huun Huur Tu" is a music group from Tuva hinterland in Russia. Their music isn't familiar to almost people. Whether people like it or not, no one else can make same sound of them. This is because their life is music and their music is their life. I'm trying to do same thing in my circumstances and I want to carve how I've lived and the essence of me into my sound and music. At this moment, I can hardly make it. I'm still on the way of seeking.
