His top 3 musical experiences and his worst gig ever!

He is also the primary songwriter along with lead singer Maya Kuroki... and when he's not making music, he works as a film and television composer. Musically, the band dips their toes in psychedelic rock, prog, and eleki... which is a type of surf rock native to Japan, that's fun, melodic and exciting. There are 6 other members in the band, besides Sei, including rhythm guitar, vocalist, bass, horn player, flute, and keyboards. The band released 3 EPs and 2 Studio LPs including their latest album, Hagata. Maya sings in Japanese, but even though you don't understand the lyrics, there's no problem feeling the vibes and emotions of the music. Fun, great band!
