.) Maki, can you tell us how you first meet Sawa? Maki: We actually made our first contact on a website. When I listened to their songs for the first time I definitely wanted to join them. What other bands had you been in before? What type of music did they play? Maki: I have been playing with lots of bands, mostly rock’n roll, a few Latin, pops, blues, and jazz. How did you come to play the bass? Maki: When I was a high school kid, I thought to play in a band was the coolest thing in the world. What do your family and friends think of you playing in a band? Maki: They say it’s good I have some opportunity in my life. Many people lost their point of life and are going crazy. So I think I’m lucky. Are you involved in other projects? Maki: Yes, I play as much as I can. That’s why it took awhile to join SAWA. Now I really appreciate their kind understanding of my attitude to play music. Tell us a little about your background? What kind of kid were you growing up? Maki: I was born in Tokyo
