The band's founder, Keigo Oyamada, would go on to produce, under the name Cornelius, a series of albums that are among the most innovative in Japanese popular music of the past two decades. Oyamada's third album under his Cornelius alter-ego, \u003ci\u003eFantasma\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), played a key role in putting J-pop on the world map for Western music fans, and Oyamada himself is today one of the most respected figures in the Japanese music industry. This book tells the story of \u003ci\u003eFantasma\u003c\/i\u003e's emergence from the Shibuya-kei scene and considers the wider impact of Oyamada's work both internationally and on Japanese popular music today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e33 1\/3 Global\u003c\/b\u003e, a series related to but independent from \u003cb\u003e33 1\/3\u003c\/b\u003e, takes the format of the original series of short, music-based books and brings the focus to music throughout the world.
