Seiichi Morimura - Author

Among the myriad of background music on the radio, there was one beautiful sound that left a strong impression on me. When I heard that sound, I knew I wanted to incorporate that feeling into my writing. Since then, I have been devoted to the Paul Mauriat sound, and have even included his songs in my works. The Paul Mauriat sound is an important element in “Rebarred Barn” and “Stereo Murder”.

The first time I heard Paul Mauriat's music was on the school lunchtime broadcast. But at the time I just thought there was a nice song here and nothing more. I remember the song was “Oliph's Necklace. Paul Mauriat first came into my life two years ago when I went to a concert in Nagoya with a friend. His sound was great, but I was even more fascinated by Paul Mauriat on stage. There was something sparkling about him. It was raining outside the concert venue.

Awasuke Fukuchi - Cartoonist

When I hear the name Paul Mauriat, I immediately think of back ground music. The job of a cartoonist is simplified: think of an idea and draw a picture. When you are working on an idea, all you need is stillness, but when you are drawing, you don't need stillness. When you are painting, your mind is empty. This is the time when you need background music the most. The soft music that fills the room while I am painting is the invisible rocking chair.

It was at the Couture House in Paris. Suddenly, I heard an orchestral sound on the radio, and I felt my tiredness quietly ease away. The overflow of aroma seemed to rise melodiously from the cup of coffee in front of me. At that moment, the music of Paul Mauriat was playing in my ears.
