I recently got to hop on a call with Japanese guitarist and beatmaker @yutakahirasaka. We talk about genres, his workflow, and some of his philosophies about leading a creative life. This is the first conversation on the channel in Japanese, but I've made English subtitles, so be sure to turn those on if you need!
