Hi my name is Chikara Imashioya director of Oxygen Music.
I am a Generation pastor & Worship pastor of New Life Christ Church in Osaka, Japan.
I lead worship at Sunday Church service playing my guitar along with my wife who is a great worshipper and awesome Piano player. I am a father of 4 daughters. All my daughters are great musicians too.
When I was 7th grade, I attended a youth camp and I was touched by God through amazing worship time and prayer. I remember then I prayed to God that I will delicate my life to serve Him.
I attended Portland Bible College (PBC) in Portland, Oregon, USA as music measure for 4 years and then taught music in same school for 4 years. Living in USA for 8 years was special time for me and I was privileged to meet with many important people in my life and I had many priceless experiences during this time.
I came back to Japan and while I worked and raise our kids, I continued to lead worship at our church which is my favorite thing. Since I started lead worship when I was 7th grade, it has been more than 35 years now. I am not young anymore! LOL! I have written few worship song myself and I would like to introduce them in this page as well.
Many young kids in our church came to me telling that they are interested to play music instruments and be the part of worship team. I have been encouraging them and practicing with them all these years. I love to see them fall in love with worship and playing music!
I have many fellow friends in our church to do worship together. It is the best thing to sing and play worship songs with everyone in full blast with whole heart.
I have been running my life non-stop but for one season last year, I had a moment to stop and think about my past and my future. I thought then that I want to use all my experiences God has given until now to spread the circle of worship and get connected with people to encourage each other. This is why I have started "Oxygen Music" this year and start some activity. I hope we can get together in the future to worship with you.
