In today’s episode, Paranel, an artist and musician will be taking us to visit his friend at animation studio 4℃, in Kichijoji and to the office of his record label. Ten years ago, Paranel created, his own record label, LOW HIGH WHO?. It is one of Japan's first label to offer music in the free download format. At first, the label was doing mostly hip-hop music, one of their artist being Fukashigi / wonderboy who is mixing poetry with rap. Paranel is describing his label as some kind of school for young artists who are starting a career in music, as most of them sign with major labels at some point. He takes care of the office work, the website, the video production and the music composition. He also does sound mixing and CD cover design. LOW HIGH WHO? is interested in music but also in art and culture in general. Paranel has composed the music of a short animation produced at the animation studio 4℃ named Tuzki: Love Assassin. He will be visiting his friends, Hirano Kotaro, CGI director of Tuzki, who works also on movies like Berserk or the upcoming Harmony. The short animation is cool and stylish and was even broadcasted on Time Square's big screen in New York City. The 4℃ studio has also produced anime such as Berserk or Harmony that will be released in November.
