I only create pure and spontaneous compositions while leading a leisurely life.

That is to say that I always adopt the method mediated by the heavens of following the musical demands that each individual work is trying to fulfill, receiving waves from the macrocosmos and translating them into specific musical works (melodies).

Consequently, the sound is always clear and I achieve music with a distinctive tenderness that may serve as a mirror for the self-recognition of each individual listener.

　My CDs are available at many libraries all over Japan and I make my works public at a number of concerts each year.
