Hotei is best known internationally for his song "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" , which has been used in numerous films, commercials, and video games, most notably Quentin Tarantino's feature film Kill Bill.
Born to a Korean father and a Japanese/Russian mother, Hotei first began playing the guitar in junior high school. In high school, his band Blue Film finished runners up in a school contest to Death Penalty, a band led by Kyosuke Himuro. Hotei was expelled shortly before graduation. The reason was that, when warned about his long hair he replied “Jesus had long hair!” Shortly after, he went to Tokyo where one day he received a phone call from Himuro. The two had never really known each other but hit it off and went on to hold auditions for a new band, which in 1981 became the six-member BOØWY. The band became major stars in Japan, in 1985 played the Marquee in London, and in 1986 had their first million seller, Beat Emotion.
When the band broke up in 1988, Hotei established himself as a solo star, as did Himuro. Hotei also made two albums with Koji Kikkawa as Complex, both of which went to number one in the national charts. Hotei frequently records overseas and has collaborated with many foreign musicians, including playing on The Stranglers Hugh Cornwell’s 1993 solo album, on stage with David Bowie at Nippon Budokan in 1996, and at the closing ceremony of the Atlanta 1996 Centennial Olympic Games with Michael Kamen.
He later recorded “Guitar Concerto” with Kamen. He has also worked with Andy Mackay of Roxy Music, guitarist Chris Spedding and Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones. Hotei also sometimes plays in Europe, including a number of major festivals. His regular drummer in recent years, Zachary Alford, has previously played with Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie. Hotei's 1998 album Supersonic Generation, recorded in part with Apollo 440 and Ofra Haza, was released in 14 European countries.
In addition to many bestselling solo albums, Hotei composed and performed the score for Hiroyuki Nakano’s Samurai Fiction, as well as starring in the film. He composed the score to Terry Gilliam’s feature film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas together with Ray Cooper. Hotei's song “Battle Without Honor or Humanity” was used in the Quentin Tarantino’s feature film Kill Bill, the PlayStation 2 version of Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA,and Michael Bay’s feature film Transformers. Hotei recorded a cover of John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” for Merry Axemas, an instrumental guitar Christmas album featuring tracks from guitarists including Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai and Steve Morse.
The Nintendo DS game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan features his song "Thrill". The game's sequel, Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii, features another Hotei song, "Bambina". (Both songs are cover versions.) Hotei is featured in “Grace” on the Apocalyptica album Worlds Collide. The song is featured in the game NHL 09.

let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
and I'm really gonna
spend it right
Well I've been doin'
my homework all week long
and the house is empty
Uuh! C'mon everybody
My baby's number one
but I'm gonna dance
with three of four
and the house will be shaking
from the bare feet stampin'
on the floor,
Well, when you near
the music you can't still
If your brother wont rock,
your sister will
Uuh!C'mon everybody
We really have a party
but we gona put a guard outside
If the tolks come home
I'm afraid they're gonna
have my hide
There'd be no more movies
for a week or two
No motor-runnin'-round
with the usual crew Who cares?
C'mon everybody
Doin my homework all week long
and the house is empty
and me folks are gone.
When you hear
the music you can't still
If your brother won't rock
your sister will
Doin my homework all week long
and the house is empty
and me folks are gone.
When you hear
the music you can't still
If your brother won't rock
your sister will
Uuh! C'mon everbody
In "C'mon Everybody," Tomoyasu Hotei sings about the excitement of having the house to himself and some money to spend. He's been doing his homework all week and now it's time to cut loose. He invites everyone to come to his house and dance to the music, even if they can't dance well. Hotei's girlfriend is his number one, but he plans to dance with multiple partners to keep the party going. He's aware that his parents might not approve, but he's willing to risk it for a good time.
The lyrics capture the carefree spirit of youth and the desire to have fun without any inhibitions. The line "If your brother won't rock, your sister will" speaks to the universality of music and its ability to bring people together regardless of age or gender. The repetition of the phrase "Doin' my homework all week long" emphasizes the idea that it's important to work hard, but it's also important to take a break and enjoy life.
Overall, "C'mon Everybody" is a song about youthful exuberance, the joy of music, and the freedom to let loose and have fun.

兄貴キャラは完全に失敗だと
思ってます。
いまだに兄貴ー！と叫ぶ人が
いますが勘弁してもらいたいです。
バンビーナ辺りから2006年ぐらいまで
本当に暗黒時代でしたね。
正直、布袋はいまの氷室みたいに
音楽にストイックになっていくものだと
この曲を聴いていた頃は
思っていました。
いま布袋がSNS中毒になってしまったのは
とても残念ですね。
ファンとの距離感やアーティストなら
多少なりともプライベートは
ミステリアスな方が良かった気がします。
ファン層もずいぶんと変わりましたからね。
