OSAMU MINAGAWA – Impressionist Rock Guitarist
What is Impressionist Rock?
Impressionist Rock is an approach to music that captures shifting emotions and landscapes. Rather than adhering to fixed forms or structures, it transforms fleeting atmospheres and subtle emotional nuances into sound, leaving a vivid “impression” on the listener.
It is not a style bound by specific techniques or genres but an expressive way of experiencing music itself. Balancing intense energy with serene stillness, order with spontaneity, each piece possesses a unique color and texture. Just as Impressionist painters emphasized brushstrokes and the play of light, Impressionist Rock values the flow of sound and the emotions it evokes.
Rather than conveying emotions directly, it resonates as an “impression,” allowing each listener to envision their own personal landscape. Impressionist Rock is a musical canvas painted with sound and feeling.
Osamu Minagawa
Born on October 7, 1974 in Japan

Impressionistic Rock instrumental composition artist and guitarist
Most of his compositions are inspired by keywords from books and movies, and often incorporate odd time signatures for dramatic style.
Influenced by Led Zeppelin and others, he began playing guitar in 1990.
Around 1993, he also began composing music.
He also performs live and supports bands, but now concentrates on making music.
Please feel free to consult with me for event appearances, support on tours, etc., as a solo guitarist, or even to provide ideas for your own events and projects!
Besides composing, arranging, and playing guitar, my skills in graphic design (flyers, business cards, etc.) and video editing may meet your expectations.
