The Story of Duta Sheila on 7 Regarding Recording in Japan, Willing to Set Up Equipment Himself for the Sake of Quality 'Live Session' Duta Sheila on 7 - instagram.com/sheilaon7

Kapanlagi.com - The band Sheila on 7 has just released their latest work titled Sederhana, coinciding with the band's 30th anniversary. Behind the launch of this single lies an interesting story about the production process that took place all the way to the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan.

Duta, the vocalist, shared the rare experience of his band recording at Sony Music Studio in Japan. Although they are already a big band in Indonesia, Duta admitted that getting the opportunity to do a live recording session abroad is a very memorable experience and does not come around often.

"There are definitely many unique aspects because it's not often for Sheila on 7 to do live recordings abroad. At that time, we were facilitated by friends from Sony Music Publishing Indonesia. We were able to rent the Sony Music studio in Japan to do a live session there. We recorded four songs live, of which only two have been released so far," said Duta when met in the Lebak Bulus area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (06/05/2026).

1. No Luxurious Service

Even while recording in a sophisticated international studio, the personnel of Sheila on 7 maintained their spirit of independence. They did not receive any luxurious services during the technical process in the studio, as they chose to be directly involved in every detail of the preparations.

2. Bring a Limited Number of Crew

Duta explained that the number of crew members brought to Japan was very limited. This forced the personnel to 'come down from the mountain' to do technical work that is usually handled by large production teams in world-class studios.

"Actually, the number of people who went was not too many either, because we really do everything ourselves. Returning to the spirit of the old days, everyone is empowered. We handle the setup of equipment and everything ourselves, except for the audio-visual team of Sheila on 7 who are already used to participating," said Duta.
