Sitar Player J (Junichi Osako)
Web master of this site is first student of Maestro Debashish Sanyal, born in 9,Sep,1972.
Habitat is in Varanasi(India), and in Katano city, Osaka(Japan). Sometimes I am imprudent guy, for example, came back to Japan for Japan-Darby of horse racing only in haste, Extended to depart from Japan for watching to winner of pennant race of baseball.
I was working as bassist with "Gazime","Fresh Amon Cold","Lovehatepain" in Japan before, I don't know why but visited to India at 1996 when music group dissolved. Then I became Maestro Debashish Sanyal's student, began to learn for sitar play. Gharana is Senia, style is Khayal Gayaki Style.
I like tricky rhythm play very, very much because of nature as bassist? or teacher's style? So using Layakari many parts in Gat, Tihai is tricky. My friend tabla player's word to me for expression is abnormal, is thrown into confusion...Fu Fu Fu...
I perform on stage mostly name is "J", it's my nickname from long time ago. It was given from a teacher of school when I was 12 years old. Thanks a lot now because this is hero's name in India and very easy to remember.
my activity is Indian classics music player, accompanist of dancer JUN, and compose and to be offering sitar healing music now.
