このようにして自分の目標に一歩でも近づくようにと心がけながら日々過ごしておりました。
1965年に私は初めてイタリアの音楽と出会い、すぐにその虜となりました。その曲は Quando l'amore diventa Poesia、他にも「Magia」など彼の音楽は随分と聴いていました。
イタリアの音楽は私の人生にとってかけがえのないものとなり、今日でもそれは変わりません。
写真と音楽への情熱というものを両方あわせもっていたため、私は音楽家の写真を撮ることを仕事にしようと決意しました。
In 1965 I first came across Italian music, and from that point on I couldn't get enough of it. That song was "Quando l'amore diventa Poesia," and I listened to it in addition to some of his other songs such as "Magia" quite a bit.
Italian music became an indispensable part of my life, and that has continued to this day.
In order to align my love of photography and music, I decided to become a professional photographer for musicians.
I encountered Italian music for the first time in 1965 and I was instantly hooked. I listened to his music an awful lot, such as the songs “Quando l'amore diventa Poesia” and "Magia".
Italian music became an irreplaceable aspect of my life and that has still not changed to this day.
Because I have a passion for both photography and music, I decided to take photographs of musicians as a job.
1986年に東京の目黒にスタジオを構えると、その場所が写真を介して私が世界と結びつくための拠点となりました。
現在はCDジャケット写真のほかに 音楽誌やファッション・芸能誌、広告の写真撮影、写真専門学校では後進の指導にもあたっております。
今までに 次のような国際的に活躍される音楽家の方々とお仕事をご一緒させていただきました。
この度は、私が音楽を愛好するきっかけを作ってくれたイタリア、その中心に位置するフィレンツェで作品を展示することができることを大変誇りに思っております。
In addition to photography for CD jackets I currently do photography for advertisements, music, fashion, and entertainment magazines, and I help train the next generation of photographers at a photography school.
I consider myself blessed to have had the privilege to work with musicians from all over the world.
Now I am extremely proud that some of my work on the Italian music which sparked my initial interest in this field is on display in Firenze, Italy.
These days, as well as doing the photography for CD sleeves, I also do photo shoots for music and fashion / entertainment magazines and advertisements as well as teaching the next generation at a Photography school.
I have already had the pleasure of working with the following internationally acclaimed musicians.
This time, I am very proud to be able to exhibit my work in Florence, located in the centre of the Italy that originally inspired my love of music.

Synopsis of “Edo Yugio"
Once upon a time….
There was something called an Okiya (located in the neighborhood known as a red-light district), where the daughters of poor farmers were sold. These girls were taken there without any idea about where they were going, though before long they would come to know the severity of their fate.
This work depicts the story of girls who have run away from the red-light district in Edo. The girls get lost while fleeing from the pursuers from the red-light district and eventually arrive at a temple in the mountains…

OK, thanks.
Sorry, I meant to write that comment on the translation I did. Yours was correct and mine was wrong.
