Kazuki Tomokawa

Multi-talented Kazuki Tomokawa (友川かずき, singer, author, actor, painter, drinker, raconteur, bike-race tipster) remains curiously unappreciated in the West, in spite of creating some of the most consistently inspired, emotionally resonant outsider folk music of recent years. Whether screaming his lungs out while thrashing his guitar within an inch of its life (his legendarily wild performances frequently end up with all strings snapped during a single song), creating gorgeously romantic and limpid tone-scapes, Tomokawa never remains any less than himself. He walks a path of untutored intelligence, piercing sensitivity, and fully exorcised passions all too rare in the shallow husk of today’s debased world.
Ja iepatīkas, iesaku novilkt 1980. gada plati Sakura No Kuni No Chiru Naka O' ("Krītošo ķiršu ziedu zemē") /Yandex, Rapidshare/. Var arī paskatīties, kā viņš izskatās 20 gadus vēlāk (izklausās tāpat).
