Radio DJ — Nara

Name
Komaki Doi
What do you do?
Radio DJ
Where are you from?
Born in Nara, grew up in Osaka. My nationality is South Korea.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Paul McCartney. I went with my mother over ten years ago and he looked like a messenger for peace.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
A gig called ‘Mod Mayday’ (where I saw at ROCKETS in Namba, Osaka) was shocking to me. I just couldn’t imagine what the performers would do in daily life.
Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
I like the LOFT/PLUS ONE in Shinjuku, where I appeared on a talk show. It was a Mineko Noumachi event. I don’t think it is in the same category with FRED PERRY, but it is a kind of shrine for a subculture.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
Amy Winehouse. I’d like to listen to her singing whilst standing next to her on stage.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Probably, The Beatles. I’d like to be with them during the Train scene in ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ .
Your greatest unsung hero (or heroine) in music?
Analogfish. I think they should have won more recognition.

04Playlist Notes
How did you select the tracks for this playlist?
I work at a radio station and have a program for listeners aged from teens to 30’s. I made this playlist hoping people younger than me to listen to. Maybe the people who are in the generation of Britpop/ Shibuya-kei/ ‘Trainspotting’ should know, but it’ll be fresh for those younger than them.
The first track you played on repeat?
I think it’s The Beatles in school music class, but out of school, I listened to Blur and Oasis. I probably listened to ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ the most.
One record you would keep forever?
'Please Mr. Lostman' by The Pillows, because its lyrics and sounds gave me courage.
A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
I like Alice, because my mother used to listen to them. When I hear their songs, I can sing almost all of them.
Any new bands you are listening to now?
Rex Orange County.
