Guitar is the idea to produce new unique guitar-based songs and sounds. Let's say: Free the guitarsound a little bit from the guitarplayer!
After the first Guitar album I decided to open the definition of 'guitar' and also work on all kind of instruments that have strings. Ayako Akashiba is the vocalist and co-songwriter of the albums!

Thank you for all that you've created with so much love... I'm truly delighted to have met one of my very most favorites. Sunkissed and Tokyo led me through some very dark days... for this, it is you and lovely Ayako who are truly friends to treasure.
