Tokyo takako minekawa   featuring: yoyogi park a child tv star, takako often became the target of envious comments by her class mates. the young loner said good-bye to acting, when mum minekawa gave her a casio keyboard. from early on takako was interested in french chansons and played in a band called fancy face groove with kahimi karie (see tokyo episode 12). her following solo albums were produced, amongst others, by buffalo daughter (see tokyo episode 6) and her current boyfriend cornelius (see tokyo episode 2). takako’s playful, intelligent electronic sound is the perfect chill out antidote to the hectic life in tokyo. already as a school kid, takako liked to watch the stylish crowd at yoyogi park. to this day, the park is a meeting point for dressed up gothics and amateur rock bands at weekends. takako’s ep, maxi on, is released by emperor norton in the usa.

"Towa really doesn't like interviews - and suggested to do the interview with his robot instead. It was a great idea, so we took his lookalike-robot for a taxi ride to our location. His plastic twin unfortunately doesn't move or speak yet though - but Towa promised he will tackle that challenge in the future too. "

"Cornelius is an amazing guy. And his studio might as well be a museum - full with figures and toys he picks up from Japanese toys stores that make the strangest sounds... and might end up in another track. If you listen carefully,m there are a bunch of unusual sounds on his track that came from toys. "
