World’s End Girlfriend (ワールズ・エンド・ガールフレンド) is Katsuhiko Maeda from Tokyo, Japan whose love for music began when he started listening carefully to his father’s collection of classical music, around the age of 10.
Katsuhiko Maeda began making music with tape recorders, piano, and guitar at 12. During his teens and early twenties, he made around 600 tracks in every style imaginable, with every combination of instruments and equipment he could lay his hands on.
He has released tracks on Japanese independent labels, Forfull, Young-Z, and Cubic Music. He also contributed to the Pussyfoot compilation album Pussytoon (2000).
Worlds End Girfriend’s reputation began to grow with his first album Ending Story released on Yoshihiro Hanno’s Current label in 2000, which caught people’s attention in Japan and abroad.
WEG released his second album Farewell Kingdom on MIDI Creative’s new label, Noble, in early 2002. Farewell Kingdom is licensed to Third Ear for the world outside Japan.
WEG’s remix work includes Com.A’s remix project We Are The Pervert (2002), remixes of Com.A’s Dream & Hope album on Notekrec (2001). He also has a remix on the forthcoming Syth;s single ‘Hanabi’ on Third Ear.
Performances at Sonar 2002 in Barcelona as part of the Third Ear SonarLab, and at SonarSound Tokyo in October 2002, led to enquiries from all over the world.
Piana is featured in farewell kingdom.

That makes sense, considering how conceptual all his stuff is. Still annoying though.

in this email interview, maeda says something like, quote: ' I just felt some discomfort with “world’s end girlfriend” = “my name”. WEG is not myself, but a world that I am depicting. ’

Has anyone else noticed that occasionally when he remixes a song, or collabs with someone, you'll never see his "WEG" or name credited, but instead when you view the tags or official track list you'll see things like "Mix by Massacremates" " Music by Massacre"? It can't just be a coincidence that album links he posts on his official website seem to have tracks by bands that have the word "massacre" in them as a collab artist. D00d is having an identity crisis; he needs to stick to one or two personas, because he is confusing the hell out of me. WEG and black hole carnival are going to play with kikuchi naruyoshi at a concert soon, and Naruyoshis new album also coincidentally has a track by "Massacre" Hmm =) http://www.ewe.co.jp/archives/2009/10/new_york_hell_sonic_ballet.php

Finally listened to Ending Story. It's kind of boring to tell the truth, I thought it would be similar to Dream's end
