■ Background
In recent years, the spread of DTM (Desktop Music), social media, and music streaming services has significantly lowered the barrier for individuals to produce and release music. However, opportunities to continuously improve the quality of their work, deliver it to listeners, and receive "practical production skills" and "professional feedback" remain limited.

Especially for indie artists, production often leans towards self-taught methods, and it is not uncommon to face challenges with direction and quality.

To address these issues, this program was launched as a new development model where active producers directly mentor and support the growth of individual artists by focusing on their specific works.

■ About the Producer
Kazunori Ito is a music producer involved in the music production of artists such as ONE OK ROCK, THE ORAL CIGARETTES, and Frederic. He handles production across a wide range of genres, from band sounds to pop music, and is highly regarded for his ability to bring out the individuality of artists.

■ Program Overview
"nana Premium Academy Ito Seisakusho" is a selective, small-group artist development program led by music producer Kazunori Ito.

Participants will receive specific feedback through one-on-one interviews based on their own produced music, allowing them to refine their work. The program goes beyond mere knowledge acquisition, enabling participants to practically learn decision-making in production and the thought process of a creator.

■ Program Features

■ Producer's Comment
"What's important in music production is not just technique, but 'how you think and how you approach it.' In this program, I want to convey a professional perspective and judgment criteria while thoroughly engaging with each individual's work.
I would be delighted if those who are serious about enhancing their expression and are committed to music would participate."
