Japan's Beethoven apologizes before cameras
abcnews.go.com -- Mar 07
The man lauded as "Japan's Beethoven," who has admitted he never wrote his compositions, appeared before cameras for the first time since the scandal surfaced - clean-shaven and minus his trademark sunglasses.
Mamoru Samuragochi, who used to sport long hair, bowed repeatedly at a news conference, and apologized for the troubles he had caused his fans, producers behind his works and others.
He acknowledged he had worked with his collaborator Takashi Niigaki in secret for 18 years. Niigaki recently told a tabloid magazine he was the ghostwriter behind the works, including the "Hiroshima" symphony.
