Among his peculiar influences are 山内大輔 Daisuke Yamanouchi's ero-guro movies, AV idols, hentai and the concept of sonic virology as an ontological category of being. Sounds like: Masonna trapped in a pink laptop along with Sachiko M and a 56k modem that survived the 90s. New electronic noise for a generation of romantic shut-ins." He has released music on Lips Infection, RDC, Floppy Kick, Anarcho Freaks Production, Monstres Par Exces, Ikebukuro Dada, Loli&Puke Inc., A Dear Girl Called Wendy, 16 Shots Per Second Records, Placenta Recordings, Setola Di Maiale, Metzger Therapie, and Stockroom Records.
