557 Haruyuki
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.
One year before that, playmoland sold junk items for playmobil customization lovers. Here is the outcome. From city boys, Roman-inspired soldiers, Viking mimics, divers team and bizarre space boys. Together with factory originals like Sherlock Holmes, Doggy lover boy and zoo girls on the animal planet, the extraordinary playmobil characters love extraordinary soundtrack.

555 Expulsion
I know this is too late. This should be online in late Mar or early April at latest. It, however, due to my another task, was so delayed that the mood does not match the current season. Shame on me.
The soundtrack "Expulsion" was based on my personal feeling at the end of March. And the movie is, yes, those who know it may find it easily, it is a tweaked legend of Hades/Pluto and Persephone. The story about a boy, and a girl as well as her mother and father. Also, I believe it is the story of agricultural civilization enduring the severe winter and celebrating the coming spring.
I know it's already late April, looking forward to coming early summer, but yes, this is my feeling at the end of March.
Featuring some organic sounds and Japanese massively multi-singers/dancers girls pop style melody, I hope this bring you some feeling of isolation. Have you been tired of your new life in April? Let"s get together to feel the isolation. Being isolated is not bad for music, anyway.

550 The Woman's Day On The Planet
It's The International Women's Day, isn't it?
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?

538 Naraka Progress v1.0
"Naraka Progress" is the proceeding version of possibly 80s J-Pop/Rock style track made by NI instruments. MV hopefully has some 80s atmosphere by analog TV style noise.
Because I always falls into massive club style tracks by adding, adding and adding more parts, which results in some cumbersome sound, this time I just tried to practice alternative editing method like muting some parts, especially drum, and making the track calm and slow in the middle.
The famous literature "Pilgrim's Progress" inspired the track title. "Naraka" means the Hell in Sanskrit. Meaning this is my travel through and out of Hell.
This song features NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KOMPLETE instruments called "Strummed Acoustic". The song itself is something hard, but the acoustic guitar riff gives some nostalgic and warm feelings, I hope...

534 Balalaika Decoded v2.0
Please take a moment to compare this video to the previous version "Zodiac Maniac". The same photos, with the different tracks, texts, and visual effects. Which do you like?
While the first version is Hip-Hop style track (with my poor verbal..), this second version is composed as more electric, tech lounge style, chilling out sound. The drum track is simply composed of a sequence of 16 hit out of a kit, and the melody is heavily inspired the 80s song in japan.
Zodiac in the Summer, and the Zodiac in the Winter.
Hope you like both!

533 The Series of "Autumn Leaves Gone"
It was when I felt the calm of late Autumn in the city. The leaves were almost gone, people were walking down the illuminated street with some happiness and some nostalgia. The darkness of the evening came early. Wind blew. Still no rain but expected. It was the last days of Autumn 2017.
Right after that, I came back home, and made these tracks.
The sound samples here is SIERRA GROVE. It is ambient, jazzy, with natural breeze, lounge-style very best intelligent sound package ever.
The first edition was titled "- Cloudy Day", which was followed by the slightly tweaked edition named "- Rainy Day". The difference was the use of Replika XT, the super innovative delay effector which turned the track into the professional-like another version, with just inserting it, in just one second, literally. RXT brings the raindrop effect on the base sound of Cloudy and make it into Rainy.
The videos featured the "long long ago" or "once upon a time" scene of Autumn. It was probably 20,000-10,000 years ago. The leaves had almost gone. The food sources were hardly found. Men came back home from hunting with no bringing. The granma and mom just gazed at dad... "Dad. Are you serious? Do you know the winter is coming soon!"
The last edition "- Windy Day", is also titled "Autumn Leaves Gone" but this may sound completely different. But if you listen to it carefully, I mean just in case if you have a plenty of time to waste.., you'll find the the drum tracks and bass are the same as the proceeding two.
To tell the truth, this is an arrangement of patterns which were originally intended to be the part of "Cloudy" and "Rainy" but later abandoned because of unmatched feel. This "Windy" sounds more tech, electronic compared to ambient type of predecessors. Hope you feel the versatility of SIERRA GROVE.
In this MV, music lovers of playmobil gather.
Just to excuse me. I took these photos before I started making tracks. That's why headphones are Beats's bluetooth and Pioneer DJ headphone. Still I love both but my current favorite is Audio Technica's ATH-50mx. Super great monitor headphone!
BTW, you may know it. The title Autumn Leaves Gone is my tribute to the very famous anthem of vintage jazz. I love it.

525 Samba de Sophia - 49ers Edition v1.0
It's a summer song!
Featuring Session Horns Pro and playmobil southern types of girls, it's a samba-like dance music.
Why not take a world travel with Sophia/Sophie/Zophie/Sofi/Zofi on the planet? Get along with them to dive into the Latin America, Southwest, Hawaii, India, Africa, and the world of Xenarthra!
All played by MASCHINE2 and KOMPLETE KONTROL S25. No EWI. Ashamed, but the KOMTROL S25's velocity control is so great that it could take advantage of Horns. I like the last moment of this song.
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.
MV from my 2014 Summer post of "pax fantasica".

519 La Isla Bonita - Una Gira Mundial v.0.91b
A little bit earlier but might be good for late Spring vacation!
"La Isla Bonita" - a version of playmobil 'Una Gira Mundial'.
My trial to cover the Latin-inspired pop anthem "La Isla Bonita" finally came to a world tour - 'Una Gira Mundial' in Spanish - because the sound has some Oriental aroma and Afro-American Hip Hop air. Anyway, enjoy playmobil dance by Spanish, Latin Americans, Afro-Americans and Beach Party People!
Ableton Live Lite native sounds only except for Dexed DX7 emulator. TR-909, TR-808, Analog Saw for base, and Celesta like sound for vocal part. Dexed Guitar from YAMAHA ROM is used for the metal synth riff. My point is the alternative for Spanish guitar part of original. Since I cannot copy it by my ears, tried to compose the similar but different melody by MPK mini.
Anyone who wants to see more of Playmobil Beach Party, visit my old post here [story telling was written in Japanese.] and the proceeding stories for the party can be found here (vol.201 - vol.205) [also in Japanese.]
Looking forward to the summer 2017!
*The first upload was initially allowed with monetization by the owner, but later it was blocked. I don't know why. Please let me know the reason.. Temporarily, I made it unlisted. I hope the policy of the owner someday change so that I can publish it again on YouTube.
Here is the silent version below. Please imagine the sound! :-)

Sakura to Believe in v4.2 (v1.1)
Out of "pax fantasica" Mar 2017 play
as my appreciation to the Land and the ZOOO!
Since I showed them my first playmobil stop-motion movie for the first time, which was probably two years ago, shop chiefs and staffs have been encouraging me to publish it to much more people. I've been afraid. No confidence :-) It's ok it's been just in this blog and I never posted it to any social. But finally, they recommended my YouTube work to the subscribers of their shop mailing list. Great thanks. As my appreciation of them, here is the stop-motion picture remixed featuring the shops.
