About me!



I write English, but I'm Japanese. If there were mistakes in my writings, please tell me it.

I am Japanese named Yoshihiro Kaneda. My occupation is a writer and an editor of a book.

  I published a book with the title of "CyberRevolution" as the author and editor by a publishing company of Daisanshokan in 95 and published a book with the title of "Kanziru Internet" as the author and editor by Ascii Corporation in 96.

  And I wrote a book with the title of "NET VOICE IN THE CITY" which my collection of materials of San Francisco was summarized in in 97. It's also published by Ascii Corporation. I like this book very much. I met many people in San Francisco and was able to get to know them. I did very good study from them. A generation in age 60's that grew old, the generation of punk in 70's that age stands up from 30 to 35 years old, thechno generation in 90's, I was able to come across various kinds of person. The shining person who are working in a company of web making, a person making ZINE, a famous poet, a editing person, et cetera, it was contact with various culture. Seventeen people appear in this book. A reader can read interviews of 17 pleasant prophets, for example Mr. KEVIN KELLY of magazine WIRED, R.U.SIRIUS or the others. This book was written about the Internet culture scene of San Francisco and introduced from overground to the underground scene. My writing style is witty, pleasant. It isn't high-quality and is a thing for a young man of 10's and 20's.

  I was born in 13 October 1955 in Japan. In my childhood, I read comics of the generation when jazz and poetry were loved. The story was like a Japanese beat generation. They loved trips, sleep medicines and parties of Jazz. In my University days I was a vocalist of a blues band. After I graduated from University, I was an editor of a new wave magazine named "Heaven". I start my career as an editor and writer.

  I was writing columns and essays for magazines and edited books. I edited the first the hip hop book that was written by Furan Kuzui in Japan.

  In 1993, I make my way to the computer culture scene. My friends already had computers and they talked about multimedia, digital revolution and computer net works. In 1994, Internet providers started their service in Japan. I was into Internet culture scene. Fortunately, editors of computer magazines didn't know much about the Internet. I got chances a lot. So I can publish a book annually.

So, enjoy my pages!

Thanks!
