DJ KOO

For DJ KOO's 40 years as a DJ, Tetsuo Hara drew the sleeve of his compilation and turned him into a many-armed DJ at the end of the world.

On 4 March 2020, DJ KOO celebrated 40 years as a DJ with Odore Japan!, Rekidai Odoreru J-POP Nippon Daihyo (オドレーJAPAN! ~歴代オドレルJ-POP日本代表~), a 38-track mixed compilation, “Produced by DJ KOO with DJ BLUE”. Tetsuo Hara drew its sleeve. He said the offer opened his eyes to how well DJ KOO’s eccentric fashion matched the end-of-the-world universe he draws. He pictured a sturdy DJ KOO playing on an end-of-the-world dance floor, and drew him transformed, under the name “あたたたっ! 百裂拳DJスクラッチ!”, with the line “お前はもう、ダンシング!”.
