PIKA☆ is the master of noise. A drummer from Osaka, she has spent her entire life banging out rhythms in a kind of stream of conscious self-expression. I love how unpredictable the sound is. I also love how imaginative it is. You could call it alternative rock, maybe even math rock, although it doesn’t meander quite as much. Uniqueness is a quality that sets one apart. She certainly is somewhere in her own world floating on an island of sound.
PIKA☆ spent several years at Sony music before returning back to her independence. She has performed with Yoko Ono plastic Ono band. She is also involved in teaching elementary school children how to make rhythmic noise. She uses music as a away to connect people. That is one of the most beautiful things about the Japanese underground.
