After releasing the now highly sought after \u003cstrong\u003eFar East Recording\u003c\/strong\u003e album with Terada in 1992 (from which his viral hit “\u003cem\u003eDo It Again\u003c\/em\u003e” is from), he took a hiatus from music and, most notably, brought his passion for sports cars to the next level by launching Night Pager, a company he started with his wife, specializing in tuning sports cars and modifying limiters for competition racers.
