The Man Climbing the Hologram
The Man Climbing the Hologram (ホログラムを登る男, Horoguramu wo Noboru Otoko) is the thirteenth solo album by Susumu Hirasawa. Its sound is a blend of Hirasawa's previous solo album The Secret of The Flowers of Phenomenon and the Kaku P-Model album Gipnoza. In April 2014, Chaos Union started the alternate reality game Samurai Facing the Past: The machinations in the Psi'gahara Field (過去向く士・Ψヶ原の策謀, Kako Muku Samurai - Pushī'gahara no sakubō), which features various Hirasawas from different timelines and leads into the album's accompanying Interactive Live Show. If ordered from Hirasawa's official store, an EP of instrumental mixes is included, and members of Hirasawa's official fanclub are eligible to download an alternate mix of a song in MP3 format for free.
