Remembering SuperDesignerKato

It was great to meet up with Hiroshi Sunto, we hadn’t seen him in about 20 years. He put together an exhibition of Yasutaka Kato‘s work and recreated part of his studio as a remembrance after his sudden and untimely death earlier this year.

The 80s was the era of rock bands in Japan, before hip hop and rap. Yasutaka Kato designed a lot of great album covers for CBS-Sony (now Sony Music) back then, I worked with him on few projects, the one I remember best is “One More Kiss,” by Rebecca. I directed the music video for that song and also their first music video, “Virginity.” Really dated, but that was the 80s on Super8…

Coincidentally, the exhibition was held on the 3rd floor gallery called, Billion, the same building that the restaurant Ichioku (one million) has been since the 70s. Last time I ate there was in the early 80s.

Time… It’s relentless.
