Japanese fingerstyle master-Kotaro Oshio (also known as "Oshio Kotaro") was born in Osaka in 1968. He started playing guitar when he was in his teens. He first learned guitar from Isato Nakagawa (at that time Nakagawa) He opened a guitar class in Osaka), and later studied with Tomitori Okazaki in Tokyo for about three years in his 20s. In fact, he himself said that in addition to being influenced by these two, he was also influenced by another Japanese guitar master, Shun Komatsubara. Very deep (this one is also one of my Favorites). In addition, foreign guitarists such as Tuck Andress, Michael Hedges, and Alex De Grassi have a profound influence on him. We can indeed see his integration in his playing. their methods.

I forget how old he was when he self-released two records (Kotaro Rocerd, hard to find now). At that time, he was appreciated by EMI Records, so he signed a contract with EMI Records, and then He released his third album "Starting Point", which received widespread acclaim. Then he released "Dramatic" and began touring all over Japan. Many of his works were selected as the soundtracks for TV idol dramas. His audience is no longer limited to those who play guitar. In 2004, he released the album "Be Happy" and also released the DVD "So Happy", which included his interviews, performances, and teachings. For those who love his playing A great boon for guitar players.

The latest work is "Be Happy Live", which not only includes the live performance, but also comes with a DVD of the live performance, so that friends who like him can enjoy it~

Is the answer okay?
