There are many wonderful places in Chuo-ku, and at the same time there are many wonderful people. From now on, I would like to introduce the story of meeting wonderful people around the city.

As you already know, Chuo-ku is a town with a history and tradition related to culture and art, but for the first time, we will introduce attractive spots and attractive people related to music. There are many music spots from Ginza to the vicinity of Tsukiji.

If you like music, I think you are particular about the equipment, but the equipment handled by the company here, especially the speakers, make use of the know-how accumulated over many years, and stubbornly value design and concept like North Europe, seems to have gained deep support among enthusiasts as a product of a specialized manufacturer that values design and concept. Chuo-ku is a land that has been accepted by a new and advanced culture of foreign countries since ancient times, so many people may recognize such good overseas products.

 

20130424_ Interview Part 1 (3)_R.JPGWe spoke to Mr. Masato Maeda, the president of the company. In the first place, about 12 years ago, it was founded based on a sense of responsibility to deliver truly good things, and in response to enthusiasts who wanted a place to check the real thing, a showroom was opened three years ago.

Recently, I was able to download as much music as I want through the Internet, and I was worried that the development of mobile media may have reduced the number of people listening to music, but Maeda says, "On the contrary, I want to listen to proper music Is increasing. " I actually heard it, but I was overwhelmed by the thickness and softness of the sound even as an amateur.

In addition, when asked, "Is it classic to listen with this kind of device?", "I don't necessarily have to stick to it. You just have to listen to what you like. Whether it's pop or enka, it's important to listen to your favorite music in a good environment. "

I was surprised to find a calm place in the basement of a building in the city center. If you consult, it seems that you can borrow it for various events depending on the conditions.

 

When I listened to the story, I thought, "This person really loves music. And I like to interact with people." It was a relieved day to see such a loving studio and find a place to blossom another music in Chuo-ku.
