Tomoyasu Hotei used to play guitar backing Joni Mitchell in “Awoyoshi”.
Hotei Tomoyasu is BOØWY’s guitarist
Speaking of Tomoyasu Hotei, it goes without saying that he’s the guitarist of BOØWY, but he’s quite fond of glam rock, and he said that the band name BOØWY came from David Boy. In BOØWY, I have an image that Hotei wrote most of the songs and Himuro wrote the poems, but I think there are likes and dislikes, but the length of the songs is quite good, and I like him because it’s glam rock. The sense of fashion on stage is also quite nice. In the familiar success story, Himuro asked me to join BOØWY, and I feel like it was a great success.
A little different and intelligent!
After all, this person is also a unique mix of Russia, South Korea, and Japan. I think there were various complexes around that time. In the old days, even if things were just a little different, in Japan, which was a village society, if things were a little different, people would get hit hard in various ways. Under such circumstances, I think he’s an international person, isn’t he, intelligence, or the world? High-level people don’t have a village society. Because they are not. Tomoyasu Hotei pursues music with all his might, and he has the image of throwing such things away, which is cool. Of course, the glamorous part also matches my taste. He now feels like a world musician living in England.
Play guitar with “Awoyoshi”
A long time ago, at Todaiji Temple in Nara, there was an international music festival called “Awoyoshi”, and from Japan, Koji Tamaki, X Japan, and of course Tomoyasu Hotei. Joni Mitchell is going to appear, so when I watched him on TV, Mr. Hotei was playing the guitar in the background. He’s good with cloth bags, and he’s got a lot of stretch. At that time, the musicians involved with Joni Mitchell would definitely sell? It was an image like that, so he thought that this person would also sell.
Hotei suddenly became a star
I knew that he was the guitarist for BOØWY, but after the band broke up, it was a time when only Himuro was selling as a soloist, so I didn’t know much about Hotei-san, but after that he became very active, writing his own songs as a guitarist and singer. The album sells well, and I did “CONPLEX” with Yoshikawa, who has the same image as me, and “BE MY BABY” has good music and good looks. I became a star at once. The song has a lot of individuality and is good, and the song is pop and well done, and he is truly talented.
Anyone who can can be picked up
Both Joni Mitchell and Mr. Himuro had a great eye for it, but as someone said in an interview somewhere, during the BOØWY era, it was a long time that they didn’t have enough money to make such a meal. I heard about it, but it seems that you put a lot of effort into making a really good sound with your commitment to music. The guitar is also the best now, and I’ve been saying on TV that I’m somewhat aware of being a guitarist. The individuality of the group is also good, and now, if the old BOØWY songs were reunited, wouldn’t it be great?
I was with Naga-chan.
But this Himuro/Hotei combination is amazing. Yazawa-san also said she was with Hotei-san on TV, and she was with Himuro-san at the live show, and of course Yazawa-san also recognized the two… L think it is good?
