Artist Profile
Hidetaka Shimizu
During his junior high school years, he was exposed to the guitar boom, and since his house was located right in front of the school, many guitar boys gathered there, and influenced by them, he started playing the guitar himself. He tried his hand at Simon & Garfunkel songs and played "Condor is Flying Away" with a friend in his third year of junior high school. During a school trip in his second year of high school, he wrote his first lyrics, which became his first step toward music. In college, he played in a band, wrote original songs, and played both vocals and guitar. He also played keyboards in some arrangements. There was a period of time after that when he gave up his passion for music, but at the age of 27, he resumed his musical activities again. Even now, new melodies and lyrics continue to be born in his head.
