Mikio Fujioka was SO GREAT for his age! He had so much more music to create and offer the world. I compare his loss in many way to Duane Allman, and most Japanese fans compare him closely with Eddie Van Halen. I'll forever miss the earlier BabyMetal... Considering his pure Spirit with BabyMetal, I can't help believing Mikio is STILL with them onstage as they continue to perform
MIKIO - he had it all - we lost him - so sad - anytime I need a good cry I can watch some of his brilliant work and wonder what may have been! - sweetness - power - artistry - innovation - you can just feel the LOVE pour out of him - if GOD exists then I'm sure MIKIO is on a very short list of shredders he calls on when he needs to ROCK! Unless you play the instrument you have no idea how impossible it is to get to this level - there are so many 'greats' now and past but in my mind MIKIO stands equal to ANYONE! EVER!
The sound/tone of his guitar, especially with that Sustain, how did he achieved it? I know the specs of his guitar, and it's not equipped with Sustainiac, or Sustainer, so how? Anyway, I expect nothing less from our Ko-Gami. Just incredible feel, and talent!
