Welcome to Daizo's website. I have decided to recreate the whole things, so that I have closed down all pages except for this cover page and two pages in Japanese. I am currently writing and editing what I have got. I hope I can reopen the whole page towards the end of 2007.

---

New contents to be reorganised would include :

1) Red Special related topics : including comparison of many treble boosters
2) Old Tokai Les Pauls : Japanese page
3) My favourite old cars (Porsche 944s2 and Skyline GTS-t in Japanese)

---

In the meantime I will look into following forums from time to time :

* Red Special International
* Red Special Japan
* Tokai vintage guitars
