Akira Tachikawa

Akira Tachikawa (Japanese: アキラ立川) is a Japanese countertenor, described as "one of a very few accomplished Japanese counter-tenors".[1]

A 1980 graduate of the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, in which he studied under Kounosuke Watanabe and Ryousuke Hatanaka, he has since obtained work as a singer, particularly in Baroque music in Europe, where he moved in 1986.[1] He has performed with the Bach Collegium Japan under their conductor Masaaki Suzuki.[2]

Discography

In 1995 he was a soloist in the first volume of Bach Collegium Japan's recording of the complete Bach cantatas on BIS Records. After these performances of the early cantatas BWV 4 and BWV 150 he went on to record other cantatas and the Magnificat BWV 243.[1]

gollark: I should really check more.
gollark: It has Risk of Rain or something.

gollark: The system is also able to detect when there is no prefix available from an upstream interface and can switch into relaying mode automatically to extend the upstream interface configuration onto its downstream interfaces. This is useful for putting the target router behind another IPv6 router which doesn't offer prefixes via DHCPv6-PD.
gollark: OpenWrt features a versatile RA & DHCPv6 server and relay. Per default SLAAC and both stateless and stateful DHCPv6 are enabled on an interface. If there are any prefixes of size /64 or shorter present then addresses will be handed out from each prefix. If all addresses on an interface have prefixes shorter than /64 then DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation is enabled for downstream routers. If a default route is present the router advertises itself as default router on the interface.
