Samuragochi apologizes at press conference
March 7, 2014, Tokyo, Japan - Mamoru Samuragochi, a disgraced composer once hailed as Japan's Beethoven and subsequently accused of faking his deafness, apologizes for lying about his career during a fully packed news conference in Tokyo on Friday, March 7, 2014. Some 300 media people attended his first public appearance since the scandal broke in early February when another man came forward to say that he had actually composed most of Samuragochi's works.
