Well, this is a Summer Special at J-MELO that was released on last year, with Demon Kogure as the special guest. They talk about how Rock Music got into Japan, also about SEIKIMA II, Demon's solo career and showbiz life, as well as his very important role on Japanese culture, and also how to get Japanese music overseas. It is rather a very interesting view of all these topics, and with very awesome interpretations of his songs (an utterly kickass version of ASTRODYNAMICS) as well as a Buddha's popular legend recited by him. It's amazing, you should all watch it.
Demon Kogure is turly a smart man and a great artist, that's all I can say.
Oh, and he's the best demon from hell.
The japanese culture tibdits were really interesting too, I have a semi-abandoned article of japanese music and they hit the nail on many parts of the show.
This is an excellent video because it relates Demon Kogure's background in Japanese traditional music as well as his personal beliefs and philosophies on music in general.
