  "Dugo is the alias of Bayonetta and Metal Gear Solid 4''s co-composer Takahiro Izutani.
  Ten years in the making and with an international assembly of artists — guitar players,
  violinists, photographers — Dugo is the culmination of Izutani''s grand vision of
  what an independent solo album can be."

  A message from composer Takahiro Izutani (a.k.a. Dugo):

  "First of all, I appreciate the entire audience of Dugo for supporting me.

  Dugo is my life''s work. I think many of the people who purchased this album are
  video game music fans, and you can indeed find some affinity between my work for
  Dugo and my compositions for video games. I was always taking experimental approaches
  during the process of making Dugo''s songs, and then sophisticating, developing,
  and introducing them into video game work. Actually, you can explore the headstream
  of all of the video game music that I have ever made through this album. I think
  it is fantastic that Brave Wave is contributing to the video game music industry
  and supporting composers in such a way.

  Since I started this project about ten years ago, many people and collaborators
  have been involved in it. And finally I present these highly selected songs from
  throughout my career to you thanks to Brave Wave Productions."

  All songs are composed, programmed, and mixed by Takahiro Izutani.

  Takahiro Izutani played acoustic guitar on Tracks 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

  Paolo Fontana (of Ecovanavoce) played chitarra rinascimentale (renaissance guitar),
  tiorbino (small theorbo), and viola da gamba on Track 3. He played viola da gamba
  basso on Track 8.

  Fabio Lorenzi (of Ecovanavoce) played chitarra barocca (baroque guitar) on Track
  3, and viola da gamba tenore on Track 8.

  Monica Pegis played violin on Track 4.
