Magical Power Mako

Magical Power Mako is the name under which Makoto Kurita, a Japanese musician and composer from Shuzenji on the Izu peninsula, made his records. He made his debut on Polydor in 1974 with Magical Power, and in the following decade his work moved from analog synthesizers to music made on home computers. As a teenager, Kurita wrote music for an NHK documentary. He later met Toru Takemitsu and took part in recording the music for the film Kaseki no Mori. Polydor released Super Record in 1975 and Jump in 1977. In 1985 CBS/Sony issued Magical Computer Music, an album made with MSX computers.
