Biography
Since the release of Okamoto's 2010 solo album "Now Printing...", he has used the stage name "Super Light" for his solo projects. As a solo artist, Okamoto writes the majority of his songs by himself, however, fellow Garnet Crow member Nana Azuki has written lyrics for some of his songs. Okamoto is sometimes referred to with the nickname "Okamocchi" (おかもっち). He has created an alternate version of the "GARNET CROW" songs "Crystal Gauge" and "Mysterious Eyes", the latter of which Okamoto had released under the "Super Light" name. During live performances as a solo artist, Okamoto sometimes plays "Garnet Crow" songs, or even invites the other Garnet members to appear as guest musicians. In "Garnet Crow" live performances, Okamoto provides back-up vocals in addition to playing the guitar.
From 2002 until 2009 he was the host of the radio show "Pastime Paradise", which was regularly broadcast on Sunday on the Japanese radio station Alpha Station (FM Kyoto 89.4). In years 2004-2006 he occasionally performed as the lead singer in THURSDAY LIVE at hills Pan Koujou "Okamoto Night" where he sang his own solo and Garnet Crow songs.
