THE STORY / METAL × SHEET METAL
TWO WORLDS.
ONE VISION.
From the Heavy Metal scene of Los Angeles to a sheet metal factory in Japan. A personal story about music, manufacturing, and finding the connection between them.
01 / AN UNEXPECTED RETURN
I NEVER
PLANNED THIS.
I never imagined that one day I would be running a manufacturing company in Japan.
After spending years in the United States pursuing Heavy Metal, I returned home to continue my family’s business.
By day, I worked in the factory. By night, I continued writing and recording music.
These were two parts of my life. At first, they seemed to belong to completely different worlds.
02 / FINDING THE CONNECTION
PRECISION.
EXPRESSION.
THE SAME COMMITMENT.
Manufacturing was about precision. Music was about expression.
But over time, I began to recognize the values they shared: passion, craftsmanship, dedication, and precision.
Instead of keeping these two worlds apart, I decided to bring them together.
WHAT CONNECTS THE TWO WORLDS
The values at the heart of Metal × Sheet Metal.
PASSION
Caring deeply about what you create.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Turning an idea into something real through practiced skill.
DEDICATION
Returning to the work and continuing to improve.
PRECISION
Paying attention to the details that shape the result.
03 / THE IDEA BEHIND THE PROJECT
MANUFACTURING DESERVES
THE SAME PASSION AND RESPECT
THAT PEOPLE GIVE TO MUSIC.
Metal × Sheet Metal brings music and manufacturing together to celebrate the people who build the world with their hands.
04 / A STORY WITH REAL ROOTS
THE FACTORY BEHIND
THE MUSIC.
The manufacturing side of this story is SEIKO CO., LTD., a metal fabrication company in Aichi, Japan, with roots dating back to 1970.
The work, skills, and people on the factory floor are central to the project. Their craftsmanship is something we want more people to see.
05 / THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING
A MUSIC VIDEO.
A BIGGER VISION.
Metal × Sheet Metal started as a music video. The vision reaches beyond a single production: connecting manufacturing, craftsmanship, and people through stories that cross industries and borders.
We want the next generation to see the skill, pride, and creativity in making things — and to recognize the people behind the work.
