Susumu Hirasawa (???, Hirasawa Susumu, born April 2, 1954 in Tokyo, Kant? region) is a Japanese electronic artist and composer.In 1965, he started playing guitar, inspired by The Ventures, he joined a band with "older people" the following year. In 1972, he enrolled at Tokyo Designer Gakuin College. From 1972 to 1978, he performed in his first band Mandrake, a progressive rock/experimental group influenced by King Crimson, Yes, Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. In 1979 he formed a synthpunk/psychedelic rock/new wave/techno/electronica/electronic rock/techno-pop band called P-MODEL, along with two former members of Mandrake and a fan of the band/close friend. They released a string of albums through the 1980s, and in 1989, Hirasawa began releasing solo work, while also continuing to work with the reactivated P-MODEL beginning in 1992. The P-MODEL project continued until 2000; in 2004 Hirasawa started a new unit known as KAKU P-MODEL, which is effectively a solo continuation of P-MODEL.
I'm sure that there are some people who feel like those lyrics [to the Parade Theme of Paprika] contain some non sequiturs, shall we say? But really, the words just fall into place. When you're writing a song, you know it's a bad one when the words won't fit like that. No matter how esoteric the lyrics are, if you can organize the sounds so that part of the song makes you happy, and another part makes you sad; then that's what I would consider to be a successful song. A good song. Another thing is to be able to convey the exact imagery or impression that you had in mind to whomever is listening. That's something that I've experienced relatively often.
