Izawa's been doing some work with Aiko lately, as well as a solo show and touring as a member of The Hiatus.

Spokesman for SugiGuitars.
Part time member of a band named Plenty, occasionally works with Elephant Kashimashi and Superfly. Started touring solo again in 2013. Also in 2013, HZM mentioned on Twitter that he saw a beautiful young woman with a guitar at a busy crosswalk. He later confirmed it was Hirama Mikio.

But, like, what has Phase 1 achieved for the last decade that justifies their leaving Tokyo Jihen. I want a step by step breakdown =p

So I guess that Shiina Ringo was too horrible/intense to work with at the time (and she's been apologising ever since =P)

in all seriousness H ZETT M was entirely jusified in bailing out
the man has had smorgasbord solo albums, solo piano albums, concept albums, live recordings, all his work with PE'Z, and now a new trio project it's all hit or miss, and I would *love* to hear an alternate universe Variety with more HZM compositions than Izawa+Uki compositions, but he's pumped out enough content to justify his leaving |
