Kouichi Ogawa

Hello there! My name is Kouichi Ogawa.
I initially played the guitar in the 80's live house scene.
I played in bands called Angelus (from 1982~1986) and Mightelayer (from 1986~1989).
Currently I am working on my music at home
because when my mother became ill - Spinocerebellar degeneration -
and my father took all the money from home and disappeared,
I completely backed out of the guitar and music to take care of my mother and support our living.
I hadn't touched the guitar even a second for those 17 years,
otherwise I would have lost the control of myself.
I thought it was impossible to do music activities and take care of my mother at the same time.
During the years and years of absence from music, nursing my mother,
PC and the Internet have infiltrated our daily life.
And I happened to found MySpace and ran across Roger Bleck.
He showed me the way that I can keep on playing music while at home.
I bought a MTR and got my guitar immediately.
Fortunately my mother is in stable condition,
so I've decided to come back to the music scene in 2006.
I couldn't extinguish the flame of love to music
Guitar is my life!!!!!
Rock is my life!!!!!
I'll upload my tunes little by little from now on.
Music like lullaby that my mother used to sing when I was a baby.
I don't actually remember her singing though.
I want to wake up the melody.
that sleeps in the bottom of my memory.
Such sound is what I'm looking for.
I would like to express my gratitude to:
Roger Bleck,who has opened my mind,
Friends who always call and support me,
and finally my mother.
LOVE,
Kouichi Ogawa
