The Manor of Count HydraNOVELA

NOVELA “Count Hidora’s Mansion” (October 3, 2021, Part 2: ‘IN THE NIGHT’ @ THE LIVE HOUSE Soma)
The Manor of Count HydraNOVELA

A progressive hard rock band from the Kansai region that debuted in 1980.

They were formed in a way that brought together Scheherazade, a progressive band active in Kobe at the time, and Sansuikan, a popular band that featured Yoshiro Takahashi—who would later be active in ACTION!—and they debuted on King Records.

In fact, one of the major reasons I fell deeply into the world of music was that, back when I was in junior high, my cousin let me listen to their recordings! I was instantly hooked by their HM/HR-style sound, the distinctly progressive, dramatic song development, and vocalist Mr.

Igarashi’s distinctive high-tone voice.

The track I’m introducing here, “Count Hydra’s Mansion,” is included on their second album, “IN THE NIGHT,” so if this article has piqued your interest in NOVELA, please check it out.

By the way, in this video the vocals are handled by NOVELA’s lead singer, Hisakatsu Igarashi, but on the original album version, Yoshiro Takahashi sings the part.
