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?

541 Out of the Ring v1.1
Featuring MASCHINE EXPANSION "BASEMENT ERA", this is the first of serial trial of Hip Hop sound, rhythm and mood.
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]

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.

529 GHOSTBUSTERS:
TEHY ARE BACK - Oktober Chill v1.0
Happy Halloween 2017!
Heavily inspired by by the 80's cinema anthem, the new track turned my childhood favorite into the digital techno/house music.
Following the disco dancers out of wired tales like vampires, ghosts, skeletons, the undeads, the underground deities, a pumpkin scarecrow, a demon and an ax man, now THEY'RE BACK!
GHOSTBUSTERS!!
Thanks for playmobil collaborating with the legendary icons.

527 Disco Pumpkin - Happy Halloween 2017 They Are Back
It's a short work. Just a minute plus.
Gene spent almost all month of September on my work for money. The only track Gene composed was for my job. It was tentatively named as "The Seven Deadly Syncs".
Gene needed 7 tracks all of which had the same duration, same tempo, same rhythm and can be synced also can run together. My idea was to compose one track with more than 7 parts (NI groups) and chopped it into seven by muting the rest of 6 parts. The idea was nice but the result was different. Finally, Gene muted some sounds for the 1st track, the others for the 2nd, and continuously to the 7th. To some extent, the project was successful.
This part was the 7th, which was named "Agility Pusher". It contains the NI Groups with an unique synth called "FLESH" which I first tried. Very nice.
Just because I had no post in Sept, and this track was only one song in the month, Gene put the part of the Oktober Halloween movie together with the Sep track, and made it a tether. A forecasting message to the Team G.B.!
The sequence of pictures are almost the same as the following movie but the visual effect and the typography are different. More disco-like, 54-like typography, don't you think? Hope you love this too.

524 Tango Nu Yoricano v1.0 - London Gothic Mix
feat. The Diary of Sir Arthur Cunningham
MV: The Personal Diary of Sir Arthur Cunningham, which is based on the Nov 2015 posts of pax fantasica as the beginning story of my Wolf Blood series, and, as easily found, my homage to JOJO the Phantom Blood.
A young Londoner, originally a butcher on the street, met a bourgeois girl and her governess, left them due to his brother's marriage and his own heart break, walked into Terra Incognita, and finally encountered the tragedy in London when he back.. It is the journey from London through Africa and Latin America to New York.
Not so Tango, not so Hip-Hop.. But shared some mood with the track. Precisely speaking, Armadillo and the African beasts expresses the Tango and Black music. Maybe.
Sounds: by Native Instruments MASCHINE and KOMPLETE
Mixing Urban style drum kit, piano called THE GIANT, orchestra-style strings and some Session Horns, tried to turn the traditional Tango rhythm and phrase into modern Hip-Hop track.
It is "Tango Nu Yoricano".
My first try with 2 Bars drum patterns and first strings on NI sounds. All played by MASCHINE2 and KOMPLETE KONTROL S25.

521 Circuit Mega Structure v.1.01
Composed by my new synthesizing groove box, Novation Circuit, and finalized on Ableton Live Lite as usual, this sound is made of only 3 parts - 2 synths and 1 drum kit (of 4 drum part). Simpler than my usual composition, it is more precisely structured as 4-on-the-floor and 16 step sequencer-based drum patterns.

520 TOUGH BOY - 90s FIGHT - v1.2
Finally, after a week passed, the newer version of "TOUGH BOY - 90s FIGHT" has come!
Recorded vocal again with 10% English correction. Added automation of Filter Frequency and Filter Ratio to lead synth and bass synth, Draw bar action to Funky Organ, Flanger and Wah to the Guitar riff, etc. A small gap between climax and chorus was filled with drum dill.
Not the best, but my level is here now. If you have plenty of time, please compare the older and the newer.

Mountains 12 - Cinema Trailer with Soundtrack "180 Degrees"
みなさん、こんにちは。1月演目、そしてHappy New Year動画以来の投稿です。
そしていまは実はもう2月も終わり…。
そう、YouTubeのアップ日付のとおりですが、ただいま2月25日にこちらの新動画を公開しました。1月演目の『Mountains 12』の写真をもとに仕上げています。
大枠は2週間ほど前に一度できていたのですが、ちょっと単調な展開だった曲にアレンジを加えたりしているうちにあれよあれよとこんな日に。ああ！もう2月演目をアップする時間もほとんどないじゃないか！^_^;
…というわけで、さみしい限りの1月のproduction 75mmのここに、この投稿をしておきます。詳しいことは続きで！
