Artists to Watch

Takuji Nakahira

Looking flabbergasted, a 5’9’’ tall 26 year-old blurted out: “I did not expect anything so I am so surprised!” And thanked the audience for his music video division award at this year’s Hollywood DV Festival.

Takuji Nakahira moved to Los Angeles from Tokushima, Japan in 1999. He currently attends Cal State University Northridge as a Film Production major and builds his experience by directing short films, documentaries and music videos for many Japanese musicians.

Video Synopsis:
A girl who finds headphones on floor picks them up and listens to a song called "But I Won't Tell." However, she feels strange and her emotion and expression changes. In the end, she is brainwashed because the vocalist, who has strong negative powers, sings the song directly into her headphones.
