Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into DJ'ing & producing.
13 years ago, I started to imagine often what if I was Dj - I would play this tune and that tune.. At that time I was a teenager, a lot of things were interesting to me. But I just felt I wanted to be a DJ - like intuition. Not a big reason or particular episode, I just naturally felt I that want to be a DJ.
From January 2010, I moved to Melbourne for 3 years. I was very lucky, I had talented DJs & producers around me always. Especially the Chameleon Recordings crew, they always supported me.

I appreciate people who come around my life. The music always connects people.
You first experienced music with Hip Hop influences, then found a love for electronic underground music in Tokyo. What is it about Techno & Deep House that you enjoy?
Actually, My hometown is a popular city for the Hip Hop scene, I never really got into Hip Hop music to be honest. I have never even been to a Hip Hop club in my life, yet - hehe.
As soon as I was a teenager, naturally I started to be interested in electronic underground music. Then I started to go to parties in Tokyo. Deep rhythm touched me, it was meditative for my mood also motivating.
I just love electronic music, it's my life. I would never have guessed this when I was teenager. I still love this music even more, this underground music. I'm glad to meet that kind of music.
You now reside in Berlin, how does the underground industry differ in Europe as compared to Japan?
Completely different. Unfortunately the Japan scene is way smaller, can't compare. But it is part of culture. European people grow up with electronic music, it's part of their life. Everyone has different backgrounds.
Asian is still a very small underground music culture, but I hope we can teach some of this culture to the young generation.
You have DJed across the globe, which has been your one most memorable event and why?
Every single gig is special for me. They offer me the gigs and that is already special to me. There are many many DJs in the world, but they picked me and that made it
