Taiga Sakamoto / Studio Lagre Recording Engineer

With the idea that it would be great if I could come to like that band’s work and shape it more to my own taste.
Personally, I see myself as the type of engineer who communicates well with any band.

Peter Wichers / ex. SOILWORK

Since this was my first time doing all the recording by myself, I of course made mistakes.
But since we can learn from mistakes, there’s a lot we’ve learned for next time.

Chris Martin / Coldplay

For me, success is, first and foremost, writing good songs.
That in itself is already a success.
More precisely, it’s about finishing a song, recording it, having people come to like it, performing it in front of an audience, and feeling happiness.
This happiness is my idea of success.

Kenji Nakai / Recording Engineer

I don’t think it’s a matter of saying, “If you use analog, it’s like this; if you use digital, it’s like that.”
If the effects of analog are considered good, the important thing is to know those analog effects by ear.
And I think it’s important to recreate that using today’s digital technology.
