■a-fei: solo unit of guitarist Atsushi Kobayashi of former walrus from Tokyo.
at 1998: the professional debuts as member of the band "walrus".
his play style of the guitar, a noisy guitar of a so-called roaring sound system was important essence of the band. walrus releases 3 full albums and 2 mini albums and 5 maxisingles and 1 remix album (EYE (Boredoms) and DUB SQUAD and JOUJOUKA, etc. participate).
at 2005: activity stop of walrus. he began to make his own music while being involved in the recording of various artists.
at 2007: walrus dissolved.he started up activity of own production work in full scale by the completion of the solo album "Nymphéas". "a-fei" is full of his original ideas, influenced from his favorite music like Electronica and of course Alternative rock music, and different from the band sound.

Hey A-Fei, You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. What wonderful vibrations you are capable of. The elves that play in the toasters wash their drum sticks in honey and sing strikingly colored anthems in perfect harmonious pleasure. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. How it passes there and back again like a tear drop glistening in moonlight. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening.
I wish in you kind regards for your future to be shaped by positive change and awareness. Love and Light,
Teaadora
Je souhaite dans vous leségards de type pour votre avenir être formés par le changement et la conscience positives.
L'amour et Allume,
Teaadora
