Hiro Fujikake is a Japanese composer, conductor, producer and synthesizer player. His activities are not limited to Japan, but also extend worldwide. He is the first Japanese composer to win the 1st prize at the Queen Elisabeth International music competition<\/a> in Belgium for the symphonic work “The Rope Crest” in 1977.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hiro won numerous awards for his compositions at the most prestigious national competitions in his early career. His work amounts to more than 8,000 songs including music for the television, radio, film and for special occasions such as exhibitions, like the World Expo. He was engaged in famous long-running TV programs and has recorded and released song collections. <\/span><\/p>\n

His arrangements of traditional Japanese songs for the album \u201cFour Seasons in Japan\u201d were performed by Heinz <\/span>Holliger(Oboist) with I Musici in 1985. The album was released in the Netherlands and recognized globally. He also collaborated with the flutist the flutist Sir. James Galway, releasing two CDs. The first CD, \u201cThe Enchanted Forest,\u201d ranked in the Billboard Top 10 in the classical crossover section for five months in a row (ultimately reaching the 2nd<\/sup> rank) in the United States in 1990. Hiro played synthesizer on the CD and provided his original music for the album. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hiro\u2019s first solo album, \u201cGalactic Symphony,\u201d was one of his works in a modern art style, with magnificent orchestral sounds created by the synthesizer, a sound he dubbed \u201cSolo Orchestra.\u201d His compositions are in a wide range of styles and genres, including works for symphony orchestra, brass band, opera, ballet, musical theater, percussion instruments, mandolin orchestra, and traditional Japanese instruments.<\/span><\/p>\n
