The ‘rePRISM’ Vision: Beyond the Familiar

Industry Giant Hajime Taniguchi Joins ARADNAS
The arrival of Hajime Taniguchi as an official advisor to Sandara Park’s agency, ARADNAS, is a game-changer. Taniguchi brings an unparalleled wealth of experience from his illustrious career, having held senior positions at industry giants like Sony Music and Avex. His tenure included leading international business and music publishing, and he has a distinguished track record as CEO of Avex Music Publishing and Chairman of the Japan Music Publishers Association. Furthermore, his service as a Director of JASRAC (Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers) underscores his deep understanding of the intricacies of the music industry.
Taniguchi’s Pivotal Role in Japanese Expansion
In his crucial new role, Taniguchi will be instrumental in guiding the expansion of the ‘rePRISM’ mini-album.

“An Unheard Voice”: A Focus on Current Artistry
Taniguchi himself has expressed profound admiration for Sandara Park’s new song, “Sonntop,” sharing his initial reaction: “When I first heard ‘Sonntop,’ I felt there was still an unheard voice behind the familiar name.” This sentiment highlights his appreciation for Sandara’s direct and hands-on involvement in the music creation process. He particularly lauded her vision for live performances, envisioning her collaborating with local bands – a clear testament to his focus on her current, evolving musical direction rather than resting on her past iconic fame.
Forging New Connections and Future Anticipation
This strategic alliance is poised to forge invaluable new connections with key Japanese partners, prominent media outlets, and diverse creative groups. The goal is clear: to significantly strengthen Sandara Park’s already beloved presence within the vibrant local music scene.
