Biography

Isogai's father chose the name "Simon" because he was a fan of Simon & Garfunkel.[1] During junior high school, he often listened to hard rock on Masanori Itō's Rock City (伊藤政則のROCK CITY Itō Masanori no Rock City) and other television programs.

Isogai started performing live shows around his hometown in 2002, and he released an independently created mini-album the following year. He did not have his major debut until November 22, 2006. On his first album, White Room, he self-produced nine of the eleven songs.[2]

He also wrote the music and lyrics to the song "Himitsu" for Arashi's Kazunari Ninomiya.
