17 songs for 17 paintings of the forest.

This is the sixth album 'The Hidden Forest' from Anoice, an instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound. Because of the effects of the spread of coronavirus, Anoice decided to cancel all upcoming tours in March last year, and after that, released new works from Anoice and the members' solo/side projects; Yuki Murata, RiLF, Films, Mizu Amane, Cru, and Tokyo Ambient Collective and took charge of soundtracks for movies and TV drama series, but have now finally completed Anoice's new album after the longest ever production period in their history.

This album 'The Hidden Forest' took inspiration from 17 paintings of the forest painted by Naoko Okada, and includes 17 songs with the same title as each of the paintings, with a total length of 72 minutes. It consists of mainly beautiful neo-classical songs played by a piano and string quartet such as the first lead single 'a perfect day for a funeral' and 'second coming', and also spectacular songs with dynamic drums like the powerful ground, such as the second lead single 'quiet wish' and 'the promised day' and sometimes quiet ambient music made of collaboration with the nature sounds such as 'into the light' and 'trickery and butterflies'. You can find similar themed melodies and patterns of the codes, with similar instrument formations through the whole album, but no two are identical, just like the leaves of trees within the forest.

In addition, one of the biggest features of this album production process is having used not only recording studios but also power of nature such as forests and rivers. You may be able to feel as though you are standing quietly in the forest via the songs with the sounds of animals such as birds, owls, insects, and flogs and the nature such as wind, water, and squeaking trees which were sometimes recorded in a foggy forest, sometimes in a dark forest in middle of the night, and sometimes in a forest where a strong wind blew.

This album with the tension in the air will be hopefully be remembered in history as one of the most beautiful dark music albums of all time.

long story (Anoice 'The Hidden Forest')

A piano note, dropping into a hole in the heart.

Three and a half years have passed since her 4th solo album 'Piano Fantasia' which fascinated music fans in the world by its lovely melodies and piano sounds. The Tokyo-based pianist and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF, Films, and Mizu Amane, Yuki Murata, will release her 5th solo album 'Sunny Spot Story' on April 27, 2022.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Yuki has been working energetically with not only new releases under her own projects such as Anoice's latest album 'The Hidden Forest' and RiLF's latest album 'My Beloved Farewell' but also soundtracks for various types of video works; Robin Bain's 'Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story', Joey Fingers's 'Reduction In Force', and Osamu Minorikawa's 'I Eat the Tears', TV drama series such as TV TOKYO's 'My Husband is Sleeping in the Freezer' and MBS's 'Love Phantom', and enlightenment videos produced by Japanese government's organizations such as Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. However, her talent, which is admired by famous Japanese composers, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nobuo Uematsu, and Takeshi Kobayashi, and has left her name in the history books of the three major international film festivals, Cannes, Berlin, and Venezia, is alive here.

This album 'Sunny Spot Story' comes in a set of two CDs; Disc.1 with 14 songs and Disc.2 with 10 songs. The songs included in Disc.1 were recorded at Anoice's studio and a large concert hall, together with the same instrumental players with Anoice's latest album 'The Hidden Forest’. It consists of mainly simple piano solo songs such as the first lead single 'shall we dance' and 'song for brahms', and also beautiful neo-classical songs with warm atmosphere played by a piano and string trio formed by a violin, a viola, and a cello as heard in the second lead single 'with all of my love' and 'my perfect place'. Disc.2 includes improvised solo piano compositions which Yuki played on her own piano with a simple recording equipment while under a state of emergency due to the pandemic and features a more stripped down sound in contrast to the songs on Disc.1.

This is a new masterpiece featuring a piano just like the great works from film music composers Thomas Newman and Alan Silvestri and neoclassical artists Max Richter and Jóhann Jóhannsson.


The album 'Sunny Spot Story' will be released on number-limited 15cm×15cm-sized box version which includes two compact discs, personally signed sheet music of one of the album songs 'shall we dance', and two visual cards with music credits.Disc.2 and its 10 songs will only be available on this box-set, and will not be on any digital music platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify.

Continuing from Anoice's latest album 'The Hidden Forest', Naoko Okada took charge of the illustrations and Takahiro Kido from Anoice also joined as the art designer, bringing together a perfect collaboration with Yuki Murata's beautiful music.

16 excellent pieces of music echoing from a vacant concert hall.

The Tokyo-based pianist and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF, Films, Mizu Amane, and Cru, Yuki Murata, will release her 2nd concert album 'Piano Quartet Concert' on December 2nd, 2022.

This album was recorded in an concert hall where Yuki Murata played, not only on her piano solo but also as part of a quartet together with three string instrument players; Kumi Takahara on violin, Utaka Fujiwara from Anoice on viola, and Kaori Tsuchiya on cello, who all also joined Yuki Murata on her latest solo album, 'Sunny Spot Story'. They performed, centring around Yuki Murata's solo project songs as well as also two tracks from Anoice, to which she belongs, to create a concert album including excellent songs which sometimes make you feel a warm and gentle peacefulness, and sometimes a quiet and dark nervousness.

Takahiro Kido from Anoice took charge of the engineer for recording, mixing, and mastering. In addition, Tadashi Yoshikawa from Anoice directed the concert, and its video will be available to view with a full length on the following YouTube link at 8 pm Japan time on December 1st. Not to mention, Yuki Murata and Utaka Fujiwara who joined as the viola player, all the members of Anoice created this masterpiece together.

For all those who lost their freedom.

This is the 7th album 'Stories in White' from Anoice, the instrumental band. After the release of their previous album 'The Hidden Forest', they released not only an EP and numerous singles, but also works from the members' solo/side projects; Takahiro Kido, Yuki Murata, Films, Mizu Amane, and Tokyo Ambient Collective, and composed soundtracks for movies and TV drama series. Now the band have finally completed their new masterpiece in the form of a full length album.

This album 'Stories in White' is the final chapter of the trilogy about the modern history of humans, which follows up the band’s third album, 'The Black Rain' which made themselves known to the world through their dark cinematic sound, and fifth album, 'Ghost in the Clocks', which the album itself and each song within the album became the #1 and top 10 most streamed/downloaded instrumental music on Apple Music and iTunes Store in over 20 countries. It could be said that Anoice's culmination of their entire career was built by the beautiful soundscape of the magnificent orchestra-like sound and destructive noise. Of course, like the other two albums, an illustrator, Yoko Shinto took charge of the artworks.

The album consists of beautiful and passionate neo-classical songs played by a piano and string quartet, such as the first lead single 'aria', which Matthew Krivolapov directed its music video and 'lament' and other instrumental rock songs performed by spectacular an orchestral sound, noisy guitar, and dynamic drums such as heard on the second lead single, 'kill lies all', along with 'resonance', and especially 'the rain maker', which consists of over 100 tracks of instruments and samples and captures Anoice's unique sound.

The history has no choice but to hear this album.

memories of you (Anoice 'into the shadows')

This is the 6th track and sad and sentimental piano solo song included in '24 Piano Sketches' that is a new solo album from Yuki Murata, the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films, who fascinates music fans in the world by her lovely melodies and piano sounds.

As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.

The original soundtracks album composed by Takahiro Kido, made for 'Krageneidechse', a short film. It became the darkest work in Takahiro Kido's career by mixing contemporary music and electronic music experimentally. Most of tunes in this album were made by instinctively constructing sound materials recorded at a ruined hotel. They also contain the sound of a broken piano that remained at the lobby of the hotel.

reunion (Anoice / Yuki Murata '24 Piano Sketches')

The sound of the wind that echoes into the moon.

This is the third collaborative work, and the second EP, by Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, music composers who also are active as members of Anoice, RiLF, and Films, and ambient music artist, Kenji Azuma, who plays a range of unusual instruments.

The first single 'Ice Mermaid' featured the sounds of an ice and water and their first EP, 'Memories of the Stone' used the sounds of a stone and limestone cave. This time the trio chose the wind element as the theme of the sound for this EP. Just like their previous works, the illustrator, MATSURICA who also takes charge of the artwork for some of the releases from Anoice, Yuki Murata, and Films, painted the beautiful cover in tandem with the music production and each song included in this EP expresses four scenes; from a desolate desert into a lush greenery grassland, a noisy caravan passing by the oasis, a propeller airship flying from the grassland to sky with many birds, and the night flight toward the moon, by the colorful sound.

Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata created the base of each song with their instruments such as a piano, guitar, synthesizer, marimba, and vibraphone, and then Kenji Azuma added his performance on wind instruments from around the world such as futujara from Slovakia, wot from Thailand, Khlui Lib from Thailand, Khene from Thailand and Laos, and bawu from China, Thailand and Vietnam. You should be able to feel 'wind' that is the theme of this EP from the fantastic, dream-like, and exotic sound. Also, string players and a percussionist including Utaka Fujiwara and Tadashi Yoshikawa who are members of Anoice, joined. Their collective support touts this EP to be the most spectacular work in this trio's releases.

This is Anoice's live album 'Live in Tokyo 2025', a recording of the entire live performance which was held in Tokyo on March 9th.

This live show was the first since Anoice released their latest album, 'Stories in White', and you can feel the destructive beautiful soundscape through their magnificent orchestral sound and stunning noises, which do not seem that they were created with only four members. The set list were selected thoroughly from all the seven albums from the first album 'Remmings' to the latest album 'Stories in White', and it consists of beautiful songs with a tension that is Anoice's unique within the world, created by a contrast of the silence and roaring sound; from neo-classical songs with a solemn and quiet atmosphere, such as 'liange' and 'all is white', to instrumental rock songs featuring a distorted guitar and intense drums such as 'kill lies all' and 'finale'.

This video that captured the entire live performance is available to watch on YouTube (https://youtu.be/zo0lRJL889c), and the live album is also available for Free or Name Your Price on Bandcamp (https://riccolabel.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-tokyo-2025).

The music one craves when picking yourself up.

It has been four years since Anoice’s 4th album, 'into the shadows’, the masterpiece of neoclassical, post-rock, and ambient music, featuring ’old lighthouse' which became the #1 trending track on Spotify as Japanese artists, and 'invasion’ which was used as the credit roll tune of 'Girl Lost', a US movie which was the #1 trending movie on Amazon Prime Video. An instrumental music band featuring a magnificent cinematic sound, Anoice will finally release their 5th studio album 'Ghost in the Clocks’, after releases from the members' solo projects, Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, and side projects RiLF, Films, and Mizu Amane. It’s set to be a future classic.

On this album, Anoice express the world that follows 'The Black Rain', their highly-praised 3rd album, which was selected as one of the top albums of the year by many music review websites. This is a new dark cinematic masterpiece that is also Anoice's unique sound.

This album was created from passionate piano lines and a beautiful strings section formed by violin, viola, cello, and flute, and an energetic rhythm, but especially 'time' and 'heroes' have a powerful sound akin to a Hollywood soundtrack. Also, woven into the fabric of the album is beautiful chamber music with melodies that will echo through your minds, such as ‘missing’, a re-arranged version of a piece composed for 'Double Fantasy’, a Japanese TV drama series, and 'it' reminiscent of 'Liange' that is one of the tracks included in Anoice's 1st album ‘Remmings’, a popular song for Anoice fans. In addition, you can also feel a punk spirit of Anoice in a destructive rock tune ‘rebirth'.

Artist Yoko Shinto, who took charge of the artworks of Anoice's 3rd album 'The Black Rain', once again complimented the music with her wonderful illustrations. 'Ghost in the Clocks' will be released not only on CD and digital but also vinyl record, a first for the band, and will be distributed worldwide. You can also get an amount-limited postcard designed by Yoko Shinto and a sticker designed by Naoko Okada who is the illustrator for some releases from Anoice, Yuki Murata, and Films. Also, if you order a copy of vinyl LP by the release date on Ricco Label's official webstore or BandCamp, you can get a copy of CD for FREE.
