His journey is nothing less than a history of challenge and dialogue, which has continuously supported the Japanese music scene from behind the scenes. In the past, it was still overseas brands such as Martin and Gibson that sat at the center of the glamorous stage. While at Yamaha, he explored new guitars based on the voices of studio musicians, but he realized that this alone would not change the world. He began to visit the dressing rooms of concert venues himself and listen to the desires of the frontmen.
The solution they arrived at was a groundbreaking shift at the time: a custom order system that "shapes the sound that the artist desires."

"Existing models lack the impact to capture their attention."
