The only album left by video artist Takao Haramasa, now on CD! The impact that shook Japan in 1973, again! The world of Takao Haramasa, the man who creates the sounds of the 21st century. "The antithesis of commercial films, the charisma of Japanese independent films," "a genius among geniuses" Takao Haramasa = Masato Hara. This work is the music from the shocking 8-hour 8mm color film "Hatsukuni Shirasu no Mikoto" (1973), which Takao Haramasa did everything for, including production, direction, script, photography, starring, music, performance, editing, and even the projectionist and ticket taker. The film "Hatsukuni Shirasu no Mikoto" is a strange film with slow-motion footage of him walking alone from Shinshu to Kansai, Kyoto, Nara, Sanyo, Sanin, and Kyushu, especially the stimulating image of his black shadow fluttering, and his own narration and self-made songs. He received direct instruction from Yoshio Hayakawa for the music. Takao Haramasa's singing while playing the electric piano, which is not necessarily good, has a compelling power that transcends musical perfection. It's as if he's trying to sing a song as if he's hearing it for the first time. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a work of the pure and beautiful things that humanity has created for the coming new era.
