Ah, yes, the origins of rock in Japan. Legend. The first ever CD I bought was his album called MARIA. I was 13. Good stuff. Truly the godfather of all the rock bands of Japan. It's funny how you can literally trace back ,odern popular bands to him. Boowy wanted to be like him. Glay wanted to be like Boowy. And I'm sure we got bands who wanted to be like Glay, or even the next generation. But these are the roots.
Hey man, Do you know how old is he now? He will be 73 this coming September and it’s his 50th anniversary this year and still holding his concert tour every year You should check out his debut band Carol first and should know some of The Doobie Brothers members used to be doing his back band many years in his Japan tour and he was invited from memorial concert of Elves Presley at Wenbbly Stadium before!
