‘’I started going to clubs in Japan when I was in high school, which was the beginning of club music. The major influences that came to Japan were New York House, Chicago, Detroit, and later Kraftwerk from Europe. It was around that time that I became interested in DJing and started buying records. I bought so many records that I had no room to walk around. When the digital age came along, I couldn't accept it, so I slept with my records!!’’
