Did you know

  • Trivia
    Aoki practiced the violin in his youth, but he had a curious personality and tried other instruments too: drums, the viola, the accordion, the Hammond organ, and the harpsichord. He stayed away from wind instruments, which he found did not suit him.
  • Quotes
    There are many paths in music, so I can't say for sure, but it might be good to try something that moves you!
