SNARE COVER (real name Kou Saito) is a singer-songwriter who lives in Sapporo and continues to pursue his own creative activities, releasing works under Victor Entertainment. He performs live in a variety of styles, including playing guitar, duo with piano, and forming a band. The reason why so many of his songs have themes of life and loss may be due to the fact that he comes into contact with “life” every day through his life’s work of protecting cats. He is a unique singer who has devised and embodies a transcendent four-octave vocal technique that allows him to express a grand sensibility that is neither folk nor rock, but rather transparent and progressive. It is also known for its theme song for the dark fantasy anime “Made in Abyss” and is highly recognized by core fans around the world.
He reaffirmed his position in the music scene and traced the 50-year history of rock in Japan, including the meaning of relearning, inviting the musicians who have been leading the way for a session and discussing what inspired them to start rock. We have been organizing events that give a real insight into what led us to where we are today. So far, we have invited big-name guests such as Yutaka Imai (Sadistic Mika Band), Tadahei Sasaki (Mentanpin), Kazuo Takeda (Creation), Daiji Okai (Four Musicians), Carmen Maki, and Morio Agata, to the delight of the audience. , I myself have been shocked.
He is still in his 40s. While being aware of the current music scene, which is based on subscriptions and video distribution, he said that through this project he learned once again the importance of the initial impulse, technique, idea, and production sense necessary to create a piece that will go down in history.
This time’s guest, Hirofumi Kasuga, is not only a guitar player, but he has also played alongside genius singers such as Kiyoshiro Imawano and Carmen Maki, and has greatly contributed to the evolution of Japanese rock with his production that maximizes his individuality while maximizing his connections with the scene. Ta.
A special project that will be delivered through talk and live performances, including a fun ukulele show full of euphoria.
I hope you enjoy it.
There are also plans for SNARE COVER to cover the works of Carmen Maki & OZ.
Come Sunday night and enjoy a blissful musical experience while savoring the history of Japanese rock.
