The Japanese Beethoven

The History of Current Events

Japan is a country where video game soundtracks more often than not appear in their Billboard top 10. What often doesn't appear in their top 10 is the Classical Music genre. One man, decided to change that, a man who by his own admission was said to have been a child prodigy, Mamoru Samuragochi.
This story follows the weird tale of Mamoru Samuragochi, a man who faked deafness to avoid answering questions about his art, faked a broken hand to avoid playing his art and had an unknown university teacher ghost write his work. He rose to the top of Japan's limelight only to have his lies catch up with him and have it all come crashing down.
