Artist Profile
Takashi KomuroTakashi Komuro. He plays the piano. His hobbies are alcohol and tobacco. He is also knowledgeable about outdoor activities such as collecting wild plants and fishing. He is originally from Tokyo. According to Hayashi, the founder of Nomijam, he is a genius. After several years of being just an acquaintance, he received a call from Komuro, who was trying to recruit him, and he immediately replied without hesitation, "Yes, I'll do it." He started his musical career as Nomijam. Since childhood, he has been a nuisance to those around him with his eccentric behavior. When he was in elementary school, he threatened his mother by hanging from the balcony railing, saying that he would commit suicide just because he didn't want to do his homework. He started playing the piano after seeing Fujiko Hemming on TV. After graduating from high school, he went on to a music college, but his teachers did not have a good reputation for his overly free playing style. Later, Hayashi said that those people don't understand music at all, and that's just what hired teachers are like. After graduating from college, he moved around while doing part-time jobs, but he disappeared after he began to doubt why people work. He challenges himself to see how far he can survive without any money in modern society. However, unable to bear the hunger, he wanders around until he finds a wealthy-looking mansion, rings the intercom, and asks the old lady who comes out for some onigiri, but is told they don't have any.
After that, he wanders around some more and makes friends with a friendly-looking guy, who buys him a meal. He is then introduced to an acquaintance who owns a ramen shop, and the owner takes a liking to him and offers him a full-time position, but he refuses. He gets the money for the train fare and goes home.
He is also a person with rare kindness, treating everyone equally and helping people in need without any regard for himself, which makes Hayashi worried about him and for a time bans him from drinking with strangers.
As an aside, when he had less than 1,000 yen in total, he was smoking a cigarette in front of a convenience store when a girl dressed in rags, unthinkable in modern times, approached him and begged for something. He readily agreed. He used his last bit of money to buy something and gave it to her, which was of course a rice ball.
