I'm almost as big a fan of Yo-chan as I am of Ayu herself. HE ROCKS, MAN!!! Not only can he rock up any song (see various
Ayuready episodes where he transforms the guests' songs), but his solos are insane and he and Ayu are so groovy together -
he's like a big uncle Yo-chan to her!
His band is called "Rider Chips", and he also plays guitar for "Funk Rocket". He's a songwriter, composer, and has released
his own solo albums "Electric Gypsy", "Rare Tracks", "UKULELE FOR CHRISTMAS" and "BOAT vs Nomura Yoshio".
Below are some of his funkiest guitars (he has 84 altogether). You should recognise some from performances
he's done with Ayu.

If anyone has any of the MP3s from the above albums, please please upload them for me and post the link in my guestbook.
Despite being crazy about Yo-chan's guitar skills, I'm having such a hard time finding many of his songs. Help!
