Shigeyuki Matsuzaki (Japanese: 松崎 茂幸, Hepburn: Matsuzaki Shigeyuki, born November 19, 1949), known professionally as Shigeru Matsuzaki (松崎 しげる, Matsuzaki Shigeru) is a Japanese singer and actor. He is most known in the West for his contributions to the Katamari Damacy soundtracks, performing the theme songs of Nerima Daikon Brothers and acting as its lead character, and playing the title character in the film adaptation of Space Adventure Cobra.[1]
Matsuzaki is left-handed, as seen whenever he plays bass or guitar, his string instruments are usually tuned with the lower E string at the bottom. He has also collaborated with the popular music group Momoiro Clover Z.
Matsuzaki is also a baseball fan, having sung the theme song of the Saitama Seibu Lions of the NPB that began to be used when they moved to Tokorozawa in 1979.[2] In an interview with Weekly Baseball, he said that he "loved drinking whiskey behind the net at the Seibu Dome."
