Mikio ARIGA
Born in 1960 in Tokyo. Began photographing musicians in the mid-80s, including RC Succession, The Blue Hearts, and Maki Asakawa. In 2010, he organized a photo exhibition of Kiyoshiro Imawano from that era, which attracted approximately 23,000 visitors nationwide over a year.
In 1990, he was appointed official photographer for The Rolling Stones' first visit to Japan and has photographed all subsequent tours. In 2012, marking their 50th anniversary, his works were featured in the photo book "The Rolling Stones 50" and in exhibitions of the same content held in London and New York.
He first met Kazuya Yoshii in 1995 while officially photographing THE YELLOW MONKEY's first Budokan concert. Since then, his works have been used on numerous album and DVD packages, from Yoshii's solo debut as YOSHII LOVINSON to the present day. In April 2013, he organized the photo exhibition "KAZUYA YOSHII × MIKIO ARIGA -10th Anniversary photo exhibition - Produced by LITHIUM HOMME" to celebrate Yoshii's 10th solo anniversary.
