Japan

Tomo Akikawabaya is a mysterious minimal synth musician from Japan, who released several singles in the 1980s before disappearing.

He debuted with the single “Mars” in 1983, which was followed by the 2x12” “The Castle” in 1984, “Anju” and “1985” in 1985, and “Kojiki To Onna” in 1986. These releases were later collected in a very limited box set titled “Rivage de la convulsion” (only 30 copies).
