Legend Channel Episode 6 Now Available! Featuring Hideki Amano

The 6th episode of “Legend Channel”, a podcast series featuring interviews with legendary figures in the world of sound, is now available.

This episode welcomes Mr. Hideki Amano, President of Musicmine Inc.
With a career spanning music label operations, artist management, production, and digital distribution, Mr. Amano played an important role in shaping Japan’s music scene. As the founder of SUBLIME RECORDS, he helped introduce a wide range of artists to the world, including KEN ISHII, Guitar Wolf, SHING02, Rei Harakami, CHEHON, and Hakushi Hasegawa.

In addition to releasing more than 800 CD titles, he was also an early adopter of streaming and digital distribution, always exploring new ways to deliver music while keeping an eye on the future of the industry. This interview, recorded in early summer 2025, captures Mr. Amano’s unique perspective as well as his deep passion for music.

Mr. Hideki Amano sadly passed away in January 2026.
We would like to express our deepest respect for his tremendous contributions during his lifetime, and offer our heartfelt condolences. This episode is presented as a precious record in his memory.
