“Uta Techne” is the first music video produced in a long time

+

Hirano Ryo participated in a unique project that only "Techne" can undertake, which was to breathe new life into famous Japanese songs from the 60s and 70s through music videos.

Hirano will provide the music video for Sachiko Nishida's song "Kurenai Hotel."

Nishida Sachiko is one of the Showa era divas known for her Japanese version of "Kohilumba" and "Acacia no Ame ga Yamu Toki" (When the Acacia Rain Stops), a song that is famous for expressing the social climate of the 1960s during the Security Treaty crisis. Other skilled videographers are also participating in this project.

It will be aired on NHK Educational TV from 18:15 on January 2nd, so don't miss it!
