From the rural district of Tsugaru, Mikami's parched voice and plaintive electric guitar (sometimes the only backing) reveals the true spirit of the folkish sad blues, even though he sings in Japanese. Of course, comparisons to Muddy Waters or Howlin' Wolf are just as far from the truth as Bertolt Brecht or Jacques Brel, but the guitarist weaves elements of all three to create an undeniably unique style.
Quite popular in his native country during the 1970s, Mikami endured quite a dry period during the following decade, but came back on the predominantly noise-oriented PSF Records. Beginning with 1989's I'm the Only One Around, he released eight albums during the next ten years and gained respect from another generation of Japanese youth. Mikami also plays in the group Vajra with guitarist Keiji Haino and drummer Toshiaki Ishizuka.

三上寛 Lyrics
夢は夜ひらく 七に二をたしゃ 九になるが 九になりゃまだまだ いい方で 四に四をたしても 苦になって 夢は夜ひらく サルトルマルクス…
気狂い I have this thing where I get older, but just…
誰を怨めばいいのでございましょうか 前を向いたら 遅すぎました 後を向いたら 早すぎたのです 産まれてきたとき、泣きました 堕ちていくとき、泣きました 誰…
