(English translation of article) This is the most important guitar to Nomura, who says he wants to take it to his grave. Since he got it in the 1990s, he used it almost exclusively for his early solo activities, but since then, he has rarely used it on stage, and now he only plays it at home. However, from his statement that "Whenever I get a new amp, I try connecting this guitar. It may be the standard for my sound," you can see his extraordinary love and trust for this guitar. The small head, transition logo, pearloid dot position marks, and PVC pickguard that is resistant to discoloration, all of which are specs unique to a 1965 model, can be seen on this guitar. The custom color Fiesta Red has changed over the years to a unique, slightly orange hue, and combined with the white surfacer and wood visible through the scratches, it has a powerful appearance that will surely captivate any vintage guitar lover.

In an interview featured in DgmMag, Yoshio Nomura is confirmed to use the Casio EG-5 Electronic Guitar.

(Part of the article has been translated into English) The Kawai Moonsault, with its shocking crescent body and star-shaped head, was unveiled as a prototype at a musical instrument fair in 1977 and released the following year in 1978. The body and neck are made of mahogany and are joined using a set neck method. The higher-end model has abalone purfling around the outside of the body and is an active model equipped with a booster/distortion circuit, but this model only has white cell binding and is a passive circuit, so it is likely to be the low-cost model MS-80. The color is a metallic blue named "Cosmo (space color)". Nomura obtained this model at a recycle shop about 10 years ago, but the neck was broken, so he had it repaired.
