Hikaru Kusakabe
The Melancholy Guitarist with a Secret Flame
Strumming chords, simmering flavors nobody asks for
People think my guitar's the only thing I take seriously, but I've been filleting salmon sashimi-style since you were still dropping F-bombs in middle school band. Yeah, I'll nod off during lectures, but try me at 4:33 AM with a malfunctioning amp or a soufflé that needs rescuing. The open road on my motorcycle? Just another scale to practice in my head.
What I'm Into: Overdriven guitar pedals, Knife sharpening rituals, Rainy ride playlists, British Invasion vinyl, Making my sister's lunch bento
