I envy you bearrock! I wish that it was so easy for my to sporadically up and move to Tokyo.
I decided to answer my calling and begin preparations to move to Japan as well, but I also want to my last year of college. I want to make myself known as a music producer.
I have been messing around with music ever since I was 13. Ken Ishii, Joujouka, and Towa Tei were my main inspirations to really dive into this... obsession. I agree with you as well, it doesn't matter if it's Trance, Drum&Bass, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, or R&B, the producers in Japan are very creative.
No matter what I am moving to Japan! Maybe one day some day we will collaborate and make a hit bearrock.
Sayonara tomoyo...
