Featuring Halcyon Sky, Sierra Grove and acoustic drum kit, this is a sound for lovers of extraordinary. You may remember that Tokyo has had unusual spring snow in March.
Ok, there is a woman on the ocean. She is called Lady Jo-Ga, but also known as Kaguya-Hime, a moon girl who was thrown from the satellite onto the planet.
Watch pirates movie featuring Asian ancient folktale.

The techno track used Pinger Kit, FSU Kit together with my own combination of drone sound, chords, single note and SFX etc. Finally, Replika XT brings perfect reflection.
It's a track for Hinamatsuri or Doll's Day featuring a Princess and Princes. Yes, this MV is inspired by Kaguya-Hime folklore, which is actually a political critics and the oldest kind of tales. Here, pirates play rolls of a moon princess, moon emperor, and princes seeking for her love.
This is also a good track for White Day, isn't it?

542 Escape the Ten Trials v1.0
Another work on MASCHINE EXPANSION "BASEMENT ERA", my best favorite EXPANSION so far. 90s Hip Hop, which is jazzy, soulful, and brings vinyl sounds. I just just love it.
To get "Out of the Ring", we must escape the ten trials which are actually a fake ritual. Yes, it's not bad if we live good, but it is not for the fake trials for better afterlife. It's just for this life. She has lived good. I know it. It's enough. No thanks for ten trials.
The theme of ten underground kings and queens are based on my original mix of Ten Kings theory and Celestial Stem plus my blog articles. Do you remember them?
秦広王/甲 - Lynch
初江王/乙 - Daji(妲己)
宋帝王/丙 - Fire Demon
五官王/丁 - Regina the Evil Queen
閻魔王/戊 - Wang Zhi(王直)
変成王/己 - Octopus!!
泰山王/庚 - Raoh(ラオウ)
平等王/申 - Philistis Phoenicianus
都市王/壬 - Stay Pufft Marshmallow Man
五道転輪王/癸 - Dark Schneider (!?)
Note: Originally, Celestial Stem and Ten Kings have nothing to do with!!!
Inspired by an eternal voyage of my relative, more precisely my grandma and the last having survived grand parents, I thought again about life, soul and afterlife.
Here is the answer. The life means while we're living. No hell, no heaven, no afterlife.
The essence of Buddhism is actually to get out of the eternal reincarnations. To be a Buddha, an awaken person, to get out of Karma, we do not need afterlives.
However, fake religion which was developed later in the history, partly because of money, partly because of political requirements, has forced people to fear their treatment in their afterlives. Does it make sense? Except for the rare and respectful cases monks or priests tell prayers that the most important thing is for you to gather, to talk each other, and be reminded the dead, the fake ritual is just a..
No afterlife. No reincarnation.
Meaning "Out of the Ring".
The MV features a couple, which might be my grandma and grandpa. If they were born in 21st century and meet in the peaceful era, they might have met like this ;-)

540 Seven Deadly Syncs
Happy Lunar New Year! Do you know Japan's folk gods called "Shichi-Fuku-Jin" or "Seven Lucky Gods"? Here are pirate characters pretending to be the gods but at the same time having Seven Deadly Sins within them.
The song is my old work in Sept 2017, which was initially for my job, market communication manager, but later turned into a soundtrack for my playmobil play. Combining seven songs into one with additional all-starz combination, this is a kind of DJ mix. Though I know the last all mix is just noisy.. Yes, all the seven songs play at the same time! Nope, actually, it was the first. Later, I picked up the parts separately seven times, I got the seven songs.
Some tweak because these had to meet my PowerPoint slide works. So the first 10secs of each song has 2 additional secs. Musically, they are wired, but ok. I always love experiments.
Although the MV is completely dedicated to my "Seven Deadly, Happily or Whichever" articles of playmobil, the original theme of these songs were technology such as Internet of Things and Servitization , ERP, retail tech, customer contacts, work spaces, Internet security, and software development. Those themes brought titles like:
Make to Serve
Asian Resources
At Any of Your Convenience
The First Contact
Work for Your Style
I Wanna Cry
Agility Pusher
and 8. All Starz Out.
And you know, the title is inspired by one of the Cyndi Lauper's best albums called "Twelve Deadly Cyns...and Then Some". Great work in 80s and 90s. Must listen to.
*Since the initial version of the MV released on Feb 16th had a critical mistake of caption! Here is the newest version with no typo and a newer description for Ben-Zai-Ten to express her versatility. [Mar 1st 2018]

535 Cross Road - It's Long and Winding
Merry Christmas! or Happy Holidays! Whichever.
It's the day right before the sacred moment, and also from celestial point of view, it's the day of the turning. The Sun dies on 22nd but resurrects on 23rd!
Happy the day after Winter Solstice! And here is my tribute to the Sun, our several tradition of worship the celestial event, the beginning of it, and the Road which was exposed the strong light (and darkness) during its several thousands of years.
Fertile Crescent, Eastean Mediterranean, Aegean. Persia, Rome, and Arab. Jewish, Christian, Muslim and pagans. Wherever and whoever. We are alive thanks to the Sun.
Hope you enjoy the travel through the road and history with no prejudice.
Do not forget the history so that we won't repeat it.
The track is composed with MASCHINE Expansion: RISING CRESCENT. Hope you can feel the sense of Middle East, Greek, and Silk Road or Seidenstraße. Persian, Arabian, Aegean and more instruments here. Hip-Hop meets Crescent tones. Great expansion. Thanks.

523 Hot Damn Days v2.01
It was a national holiday called the Day of the Sea in the country where I'm currently living. It was Hot Damn Day, and the whole week was the Hot Damn Days. It was, however, the glorious summer days!!
The second try on Native Instruments MASCHINE and KOMPLETE. It's the summer track! Session Horns and Funk Drum Kit gave me a Southern breeze. Hopefully. Plus, bass section was composed by the quartet of Arturia V Collection 5. Wurli, VOX, Forfisa and SEM.
