Vocal, Synthesizers,Guiter and others

In 1979, Hirasawa organised a techno pop group P-MODEL based on a progressive band MANDRAKE. P-MODEL made their debut from Warner Music.
In the techno pop boom at that time, P-MODEL stole the show with their far-out and pop sound. Since then, they have been energetically acting while renewing the group member many times.
This year that is P-MODEL 20th anniversary, they started a big projectentitled "MUSIC INDUSTRIAL WASTES `P-MODEL OR DIE".
Remarkable point is they introduce people to the way of future music industries offering digital music delivered via the Internet.

In 1989, Hirasawa started solo activities besides P-MODEL. He has created originative stateless sounds those are very poetic and vocalic.
The sounds give us images as if we are in a world where the PAST(myth/ethnic world) and FUTURE(SF/computer world) meet the PRESENT.
That is called HIRASAWA WORLD.

Since 1994 he has staged the Interactive Live Show on his own idea.
It is well appreciated as a various entertainment show using AMIGA.
The show has alternative stories and is carried on audience's reaction,
that is like a roll playing game.
It is a lifework for him and was performed 5 times before now.

Hirasawa demonstrates a talent for music, as a composer for TV documentary music, sound track for video animation, image album for novels, and so on.
Above all, he was highly appreciated his talent in the animation drama of cartoons "BERSERK" in 1997. The author of BERSERK longed for him to write,and eventually Hirasawa wrote the sound tracks and sang a special song for BERSERK. He also produced an album for Yuko Miyamura, an actress who dubbed in BERSERK.
All his works have been touching all artists and creators.
