Post your comments about our Tokyo Counterpoint Interview and let us know what you thought of him.
“There is a production concept for Tokyo Counterpoint: ‘Make the art more pop’ and ‘Make the pop music more art.’” – Junichi Hoshino
Sometimes its good to just chill out and take a listen to some soothing tunes. For Junichi Hoshino of Tokyo Counterpoint creating that type of music has been a life’s journey. Inspired by the musical styles of artists like Andy Warhol and Steve Reich, Hoshino has crafted a intricate style of music, striving as he says to resonate life’s “moments of beauty” into his songs.
His first album, “Oval,” was released in 2004 and updated earlier this year as “Oval+” featuring the vocals of Wawa and Kanata Okajima. His resume includes a remix of Kaze ni Hitori de that was featured in the 30th anniversary compilation album of the Gundam soundtracks, and arranging the song SELECT? for the anime series “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.”
On October 25, 2009 Junichi Hoshino of “Tokyo Counterpoint” was kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Tokyo Counterpoint Interview.
Thanks again Junichi Hoshino for the interview.
