JaME's 20th Anniversary: Comment from TATEDUKA2000

Versatile artist TATEDUKA2000 began his career in music back in the 80s. He has since worked in many roles, including visible ones such as being the frontman of various different bands and doing DJ gigs. He also has experience backstage in managing livehouses in Shibuya and Shinjuku. TATEDUKA2000's laid-back style was formed by absorbing influences from genres such as hip hop, dance, rock, and funk.

Music-wise, his latest project is a band called THE HIP ROCK, who debuted this summer by collaborating with the successful Muay Thai boxer Takuma Ota.

As for the future, there's still a lot more things for TATEDUKA2000 to try, and one of his current aims is to widen his international activities.
