Sunahara adopted the alias Marin while joining the techno group Denki Groove in 1991. He made his solo debut in 1995 with the album Crossover. The album was highly acclaimed by artists of all kinds. 1997 Denki Groove’s 9th single ‘Shangri-la’ & 8th album “A” both sold over half million units.|In Autumn, “Crossover” was released in Europe by Bungalow Records, Germany. In 1998 the 2nd solo album “Take Off And Landing” was released in Japan (May) and Europe (Autumn). Both solo works were praised as “the birth of new electronic music by the next generation” in Europe. Sunahara’s DJ tour took place simultaneously in Europe (mainly in Germany) which many journalists attended. In April 1999, Yoshinori went solo permanently and was no longer part of Denki Groove. November 3rd, the album “The Sound Of ’70s” was released. Lately, Yoshinori has been expanding his work field to production & remixing of music by other artists. Such activities include collaborations on Yukihiro Takahashi’s album & production work on ACO’s breakthrough single ‘Yorokobini Saku Hana’. As a result, Yoshinori is being highly rated as a producer & remixer, as well as a musician. The more he goes off line, the more expectation there is to Yoshinori’s own works. After two and half years, on May 23, 2001, his solo album “LOVEBEAT” was released. The very latest of Yoshinori’s production work can be heard on SUPERCAR’s single “YUMEGIWA LAST BOY”. |
