|   Yaruo (Beat Kaigi) is from Tokyo. He got into DJ culture at the age of   |
|   15, when  he  began working as  an assistant to a well-known local DJ,   |
|   helping him with tasks such as carrying record cases and equipment. At   |
|   the same time, he started DJing himself, initially focusing  primarily   |
|   on Hip-Hop.  After his  mentor advised him  to  move away from playing   |
|   Hip-Hop and focus instead on Japanese music, Yaruo  moved into Wamono.   |
|   He began  searching for and collecting  Japanese music  on  vinyl, and   |
|   playing these records in his DJ sets. After  a ten-year  break,  Yaruo   |
|   returned to DJing. He began putting his mixes online as free-to-listen   |
|   releases, but  kept  them  available  only  briefly,  taking them down   |
|   shortly after upload. This approach helped build  his  popularity  and   |
|   got  more listeners interested  in his  mixes. When one of  his online   |
|   mixes caught the  attention of a well-known figure within DJ  circles,   |
|   gained his approval and reached a wider audience, some Japanese record   |
|   shops also took an interest in Yaruo's mixes. They asked  him to  make   |
|   mixes  for them, which  they could  then  offer to their customers  as   |
|   physical releases. At first, the mixes appeared as CDR's in very small   |
|   runs. Then, in 2015, Yaruo received  an offer from the Japanese record   |
|   label "Twilight City Records", leading to  the  release  of  his first   |
|   officially  pressed Mix-CD. When it comes to his  Wamono mixes,  Yaruo   |
|   does  not  confine  himself  to any particular genre,  instead weaving   |
|   together a wide range of Japanese musical styles, including: City Pop,   |
|   Enka, Blues Kayo, Folk, Boogie, and  Jazz. This eclectic  approach has   |
|   shaped a distinctive style of his own, earning him a strong reputation   |
|   among Wamono enthusiasts.He is also a long time member of the Japanese   |
|   group of DJ's and diggers called "Beat Kaigi".                           |
|                                                                            |
