She has, for nearly all her life, wanted one thing most of all -- to play. Whether it be in the sanctuary of fantasy anime worlds or along a deep spiritual vibe for healing the soul, just let this woman play.

Masayo Nakao, DJ 901, has been on a quiet rise in Tokyo's Goa trance scene. The 28-year-old artist is the epitome of Japanese homegrown female talent, a proud native of Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, who first made music at age 3.

She is currently a resident DJ for midsize Tokyo organizer [Synchronisity,] responsible for those comfy "Dark Side of the Moon" parties down at Junk Box Tokyo Bay last winter. She has three mix CDs out, two released by ToGetHer and one original mix.
