2014 2015
Changed his artist name to THE FLYING BED and established a unique style creating an original sonic world using only reverb heavy electric guitar and vocals.
Started performing live once a month in Tokyo.
Around the same time, he received comments from music critic Gaku Torii
Ive encountered a wonderful singer songwriter! With a beautiful voice rich in falsetto, melodies that carry a sense of sadness and nostalgia, and lyrics that, while using gentle words, coolly yet kindly gaze at the absurdity of the world and the inner workings of humanity
All of this combines to create a powerful presence in his songs that surges like waves.
In a sense, I believe he is a genius.
The phrase an encounter with the depths of the soul comes to mind.
If I were to compare, I sense commonalities with artists like Jeff Buckley, Marc Almond, This Mortal Coil, Morrissey, Lazarus, The Durutti Column
However, this individuality is uniquely his own.
I strongly encourage you to listen to this remarkable artist as well Gaku Torii (music critic)
