Please tell us a little about yourself (hobbies, etc.)
I love music! That's the main reason why I came to America. I love
shopping! I like finding something which nobody has. I prefer going
to flea market than Chanel store. I love animals! We have 1 cat (Tora),
1 cockatiel (Pudding) and 2 love birds (Midori & Hamachi).

How did you get into L.A. Guns?
When I was a teenager, my girlfriend made me a copy of their first album
on CASSETTE!
Your favourite L.A. Guns song/album?
I loved 1st and 2nd when they came out. But ever since I got involved
with the making of the cover album, I enjoy listening to it. Also my recent favorite
is the latest one "Tales From The Strip". Because it's all about being in Hollywood.
I was there when Phil came up with each idea of lyrics and melodies. But the
interesting fact is he wrote "It Don't Mean Nothing" when he was in my grandma's
room in Japan. He wrote the whole thing so quickly. When I got out of shower,
the song was done! There were no interuptions, sirens, car alarms or phone calls
like in Hollywood.
Please share your favourite L.A. Guns story/memory
The last UK tour in 2005, I was thrilled to be in London, where Phil
grew up and spent half of his life in, to meet all his friends
whom he was always talking to me about, to go to many places where
he was playing at when he was a kid. LA Guns had a cool submarine-looking,
double decker tour bus. I loved waking up in the different cities
every morning. Our names were Ken and Kendra in the bus. I miss Tudor-Jones!!
I met lots of nice people from the message board. That was the
most fun tour ever!
