Biography
Early life
Kenji Nakamura was born in Tokyo, Japan. At the age of eight, he moved to the United States with his family. He was raised in New Jersey and New York. After graduating high school in the US, he moved back to Japan for university[1].
Nakamura had already been into music since he was young because his dad loved bluegrass music and played the banjo. When he was fourteen, he bought his first hip-hop album, Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest. From then on, he got into hip-hop music and would blast songs while at his friend's house or when playing basketball.[2]
Professional Work
He has been traveling around the world to various countries such as Argentina, Mexico, and USA, performing at anime and game conventions in front of his international fans. His unique flow has caught attention from Taku Iwasaki, and their collaboration has gained substantial recognition.[1]
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Lotus Juice is a big fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. While living in New York, he would buy Shonen Jump at Books Kinokuniya and read it all the time.
In 2012, he was contacted by Taku Iwasaki to work with him for two songs in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation. Lotus Juice was very careful about the lyrics of Overdrive and tried to incorporate JoJo quotes into it.[3] As for Oh please..., he managed to write all of the lyrics in thirty minutes due to his love of the series.[4]
If he could have a Stand, he would love to have Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum because he thinks it's the coolest and would let him stop time. He would also love if Araki named a Stand after him and thought of sending Araki his album, but as of 2013, he hasn't yet.[2]
