We held a 'hanami' party in celebration of the birthday of our CTO, Tomonobu Itagaki, the other day.
Under the flag of Valhalla, a number of people have gathered from all over the world. They sometimes clash with each other, enhance each other and appreciate each other: such scenes are our usual days in the studio.
Please do look forward to our new challenge, DEVIL'S THIRD!
It's been a while, hasn't it! Let's jump right into the next long-awaited edition of "Rock CEO's: You gotta hear this!"
For the first installment of 2013 I'd like to introduce you to a French singer-songwriter that I just can't get enough of, Michel Polnareff. This man isn't just a musician; he's also a great artistic genius that created his own culture.
I first encountered Michel Polnareff when I was in elementary school, when I heard his song "Love Me Please Love Me" coming through on the radio. As I was listening to that song, before I knew it my body was trembling with shivers running down my spine.
After that experience I was totally hooked. I started listening to more of his many other masterpieces like "Holidays," "?a n'arrive qu'aux autres," and "Le Bal des Laze," and it felt like I was continually being drawn further into his musical world.
And to the rock-loving schoolboy that I was, his fashion and behavior were like nothing I had ever seen. It was such a shock.
