Introduction:
Hello! I am TARHO, a singer/songwriter. Day by day I am writing down what I want to express into words, and then turn it into music.
I used to be a drummer, actually, and used rhythm to express my feelings. However, I soon came to want a more “direct” form of communication, and switched from being a drummer to a vocalist, plainly because of the ability to express ones thoughts verbally. I then chose to become a writer as well, to express myself in words.
It is impossible to summarize Japan’s attractive with a few words, but I would like to convey what I can to everyone.
Background:
I am the main vocalist for RHODIO-La, a Japanese rock band. On the side I work as a copywriter for a mail order website. The genres consist of fashion, cosmetics, food, miscellaneous goods, and digital products, etcetera etcetera.
2004 – 2007: | Worked as a salesperson for mainly men’s apparel |
2008: | Worked as a buyer of women’s apparel |
From 2009 on | retired from being a buyer and started my career as a writer |
