My name is Takashi Matsuo Japanese painter. I graduated from Tama Art University 1989, But I didn't understand how to paint and why I paint. Sameday I bought Jimmi hendrix video tape and heard. His music was deep impact for me. His music moved me to tears. I thought that I want to paint like his music. So my art changed emotional. But didn't change better quickly. Because I care what people of think of me. It's so bad for my art. So I went traveling whole Japan. Then I met a man. His name is Kimio. He didn't care what people of think of him. I saw he doing a thing he want. That was stagejack ! His blues music exploded on the stage ! And he was accepted by a large audience. People excited ! I excited too! That occurrence indicated right direction. Now my art is better than young time. Because I don't care what people of think of me. But I feel special thanks to my friends and my family.
