Kentaro Hayashi
Artist Profile
Kentaro HayashiKentaro Hayashi. Sings. Founder of Nomijam. Born in Fukuoka. Respected artist is Takashi Komuro. Hobbies are mountain climbing and fishing. Played piano from an early age, and by the time he was in the third year of junior high school, he was able to play part of the first movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata by himself, but he was disgusted by the complexity and suddenly lost interest in the piano. He played the piano like crazy every day since elementary school, which worried his mother, but after that, he never touched the piano again.
A while later, a childhood friend invited him to join a band and he started his full-fledged musical career. At the age of 19, he moved his base of operations from Fukuoka to Tokyo. He devoted all his time except for working hours to music and was absorbed in songwriting. However, he was so absorbed in songwriting that the band broke up without ever performing live. Furthermore, his perfectionism was so excessive that he kept writing songs and then discarding them, so there are no recordings from that time left.
After that, he wanted to live his life only doing the music he loved, so he gave up his music career and recklessly aimed to become a businessman in order to gain financial freedom. However, he had no education and no qualifications, so he had no idea what to do. He started his path to becoming a businessman by repeatedly asking financially successful businessmen and seniors, "What should I do to become rich?". He failed almost everything he did, but his obsessive nature paid off, and he was able to achieve some results. However, he said, "Something's not right," and decided to return to the path of music. He called Mr. Komuro, whom he had only met a few times in the past, for the first time in five years and invited him to the path of music.
