He has released several compilation albums including 'Guitarhythm Forever Vol. 1', which topped the Japan albums chart in 1995 and concert releases including 'Space Cowboy Show' (1997), which peaked at number three. Two of his singles have topped the Japan Oricon singles chart: 'Beat Emotion' (2091) and 'Thrill' (1995). 'Deja Vu' (1990), 'Surrender' (1994) and 'Bambina' (1999) reached number two.
His tracks appear in video games and on many movie soundtracks including 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' (1998) and 'Kill Bill Vol. 1' (2003). He has performed around the world and collaborated with artists such as Iggy Pop, Ray Cooper and Zucchero Fornaciari.
