Biography
His record company, God Mountain, was named after the English translation of his family name.[3] God Mountain was established in 1993 after his frustration with EMI pulling two of his albums from sale.[4]
Kamiyama cites Mauricio Kagel, Luciano Berio, Iannis Xenakis and Karlheinz Stockhausen as his influences – artists with a "bizarre sense and distorted feel and touch".[5]
His nickname is derived from Hoppy, a cheap Japanese liquor that he drank during his early professional musician days.[3]
