Career
- 1998 - Moved to Fukuoka right after high school. Had big dreams of becoming a musician, but reality was just an endless loop of gigs and part-time jobs
- 2003 - Started a company. Couldn't land a job thanks to Japan's employment ice age, had zero musical talent — IT was basically the only option left. 'Entrepreneur' sounds cool, but I just had nowhere else to go
- 2011 - Incorporated. Honestly surprised I didn't go under. Years of grinding it out were finally starting to show results
- 2020 - Formed a holding company. Getting here from zero wasn't my doing alone. I just got lucky with the people around me. Nothing but gratitude
- 2024 - Started YouTube. Music never worked out, but this time I'm giving it a shot with something I actually love — cars
- 2026 - Now. Still doing a bit of everything — IT, cars, YouTube
