The Ramones

The Ramones were an American rock band often regarded as the first punk rock band. All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", though none of them were actually related. They were a major influence on the punk rock movement both in the United States and the United Kingdom. They used just four chords and one manic tempo. Their genius was to recapture the short and simple aesthetic from which pop had strayed. The albums from first album to third album are estimated as an important album left in the rock history.

David Bowie

David Bowie is a musician, actor and record producer. In England, he is one of the rock stars representing the U.K. in 20th century.
He was born in Brixton, London. When he was 15 years old, his friend punched him in the left eye during a fight over a girl. As a result of the injury, he almost lost eyesight of his left eye. In 1972, he released 『Ziggy Stardust』, a concept album, and he established the position as the representative musician of the gram lock. A common musician tends to dislike a change, but he repeats a change of bold music. When I listen to his music, I be drawn into his world, and I lose sight of reality.

Donavon Frankenreiter

Please allow me to introduce Donavon Frankenreiter. He was born in California in 1972. Since he was a child, he was brought up in the beachside, so he started surfing naturally. When he was 13, he made a contract with BILLABONG, a big surfing maker. He became a“free surfer,”which can earn money only stepping on the wave! His terrible talent is not only his surfing, but his music. He respected Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. All he investigated is simple. He says “I let music reflect all the things impressing myself. The surfing in particular has a great influence on my music.” All the time I listen his music, I feel the sound of the sea in spite of being in the city.
