I got tired of different drum sounds so you buy different effects for more manipulation.

With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.

I've done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it.

The most important thing is that it's much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That's the main thing I think, that you can do it.

I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.
