〈Program Overview〉
This episode of "+SESSION" features music critic Kenta Hagiwara and talent Marina Watanabe, discussing the theme of "Let's talk about our memories of Eiichi Ohtaki."
On March 12th, Mr. Hagiwara released "A Happy Ending: How Eiichi Ohtaki Was Made," a book that delves into the little-known true face of Eiichi Ohtaki, based on a long interview that had been kept secret for 30 years. This book became the #1 bestseller in Amazon's "Biographies of Musicians" category during the pre-order stage and has already been reprinted before its release, making it a hot topic right now.
And on March 21st, Marina Watanabe will release a 30th-anniversary edition of her 1996 mini-album "Ring-a-Bell." This legendary album, marking the 40th anniversary of Watanabe's debut, will return after 30 years.
This time, we'll have two people who were close friends with Eiichi Ohtaki share their memories of spending time with him.
