Introducing the Members of the 20th Anniversary Project vol.9

Drummer Hideo Yamaki. My dream has finally come true!! I’ve been a big fan of his for a long time and my dream was to work with him in my album one day. “Izayoi” is made by the greatest artists; keyboard by Akira Inoue, guitar by Masayoshi Hurukawa, and drum by Hideo Yamaki. His drumming can be described by one word, “beauty.” It was so beautiful that I found myself crying. I thought working with him was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I watched him play the drum very closely. Sometimes he played the drum with his eyes closed which was interesting to look at. We worked together for Fukuyama Masaharu tour. I remember myself being impressed by his attitude toward work. He practiced a lot during the tour and also kept good diet. In this recording, I learnt how his routine work came out as the great sound of drum. We now are half way though the recordings. We will do a thorough work for the remaining as well! Please look forward to the album!
