“As I sit here
Waiting and wanting
Surrounded by the ambient blur of the city lights
Waiting at a stop sign
Wanting to go beyond.”


It is exactly this longing to go beyond, beyond the solitary musical journey, that brought these two very gifted artists from Kyoto to cross each other’s’ paths. Marihiko Hara and Masumi Muranaka (Polar M), the 2 seasoned musicians from Kyoto, after 10 years of admiring each other works, decided to take on a voyage together, and sailed beyond the charted territories of their music. And thus, the beautiful result from this wonderful voyage - a special collaboration album entitled “Beyond”, was born.

In this album, both artists went beyond their own borders, over their perceived views, across existing ideas and ways of thinking, to allow their emotions to flow freely in the music making process. As a result, Marihiko, with his gorgeous piano touches, and Masumi, with his heart-felt guitars, jointly crafted the 10 delicate, and breath-takingly beautiful music pieces.

Traces of elegant post-classical, sweet-sounding folktronica, dreamy ambient, and even blue-ish jazz, can be found in this sound-rich album, with all elements masterfully blended together to create an exquisite music listening experience. Piano melodies that drifted in like fireflies at night, layers of guitars that painted the backdrop soundscapes, drips of tiny electronics, spaces between the notes…. The exquisiteness in music that created by Marihiko and Masumi’s wonderful talents are simply beyond words.

Mia Cabalfin, the renowned contemporary dancer from Philippines, who befriended the artists when they composed the music for her residency performance in Kyoto in 2012, lent her beautiful voice in spoken words for 3 amazing tracks. The album is mastered by Tokyo’s renowned musician and sound engineer, Chihei Hatakeyama, and features photos by prominent Japanese photographer Marisa Shimamoto, and designs by Itsuka Sato of sonihouse.

"Boy 1 EP" by Akitsugu Fukushima

- Embrace the ethereal realm of electronic music with "Boy 1 EP," a mesmerizing creation by the Japanese musical prodigy, Akitsugu Fukushima, featuring vocals by an AI songstress.

- From the mind of Akitsugu Fukushima, the maestro behind modern Hong Kong cinema scores, comes the globally accessible "Boy 1 EP," a symphony of dreams in electronic soundscapes.

- Experience the pulsating journey of adolescence as envisioned by Japanese musical virtuoso Akitsugu Fukushima, who melds electronic beats into a cinematic, post-classical narrative.

Heralding a new era of electronic music genius, Akitsugu Fukushima (also known as Aki) hails from Japan. He's composed scores for numerous contemporary Hong Kong films, including the critically acclaimed "Youth," "Madalena," and "Our Eighteen," - which received nominations at the 58th Golden Horse Awards. His compositions have also been featured as official soundtracks for promotional videos at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and Golden Horse Film Festival (2020/2021). 

Notably, Aki's musical prowess has earned recognition from renowned Icelandic musician Ólafur Arnalds, who selected him as one of the winners at his music workshop. Aki's delicate yet vivid compositions breathe life into films, resonating within their frames. In Japan, he's also gained prominence for composing and arranging music for J-Pop artists, including Aimer, known for her songs in anime like "Demon Slayer" and "Chainsaw Man".

Within Aki's creative reservoir lies a tale—an enchanting odyssey of a boy's journey into adulthood, meticulously crafted into the forthcoming mini-album, "Boy 1 EP." Laden with rich Japanese Indie Electronic vibes, this album is a testament to Aki's artistry.

"Hero," the lead single preceding the EP, portrays a young boy idolizing television heroes, until one summer day in the garden, he inadvertently assumes the role of his inner champion, embodying a sense of purpose. "Hero" mirrors the innocence of a prince, unaware of his fictional surroundings, yet resilient in the face of harsh realities, his spirit brimming with hope.

Following suit, "Asobi" (Play) boasts minimalist electronic beats that beckon bodies to sway, accompanied by crystalline piano and strings, showcasing Aki's enchanting electronic allure.

The third track, "Kioku" (Memory), is a poignant masterpiece—its intricate Downtempo electronic textures intertwined with the graceful notes of a guitar, whispering tenderly in your ears.

Closing the album is "Suimen" (Water Surface), where a dreamlike female voice, created through cutting-edge AI technology, enchants listeners with its ethereal quality, casting a surreal aura over this captivating mini-album.

The mastering of "Boy 1 EP" journeyed to Japan, under the expert hands of renowned musician Kashiwa Daisuke, known for his contributions to Shinkai Makoto's film scores and his role as a judge at the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. With Daisuke's expertise, the album not only elevates in sound quality but also flows seamlessly from start to finish. Adorning the album cover is a serene portrait of a boy, delicately illustrated by Macau-based artist Xiao Yu, infusing the release with spiritual grace.

"Boy 1 EP" marks a new chapter in Aki's musical journey, now available globally on all major music streaming platforms. Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of his dreamlike musical allure.

120 - Until The Edge

Music, piano, synths, mix: Vicente Bueso

A lingering sense of emptiness follows, like walking through a place you once loved and finding it unrecognizable. There is a quiet ache—an awareness of absence, of something essential now lost to time. It is the kind of melancholy that settles in gently, making you reflect on the fragility of beauty and the deep silence that remains after even the smallest signs of life have faded. After the ferns, all that’s left is memory and the hush of what used to be.

only this  8.21.25

Spontaneously improvised this classical piano solo tune at the morning. Enjoy!

For this improvisation I’ve used: Scoring Piano from FluffyAudio + Brainworx townhouse compressor + Relab LX480 reverb. I think Scoring Piano is my most favorite piano because I can feel a very warm and still emotional vibe while playing on this really beautiful piano. Brainworx compressor and LX480 reverb gives a soft sound which I really enjoy.

Two years have been passed since Dae Kim’s debut effort, "Solace", was released. In need of diversion, he drew attention to circumstances that was unusual to his forte, ranging from producing for singer-songwriters to several yet to be released projects. The exploration, in which allowed him to diversify and improve his compositional ability and musicianship that obeys electro-acoustic driven solo efforts, ended with Dae’s latest single, Clemency (Memoir Music label). To embellish his carefully curated discography, he returns with the latest EP entitled, “Redemption”.

To quote Dae, “Three months of grieve and isolation has gifted me with three beautiful songs. They were two years more mature and wiser than my debut album. A work that held its obedience to the writer’s instinct holds honesty, that is incomparable. I proudly present the EP with full ride and confidence, and that there are nothing more to change and polish. I won’t touch even a single note”.

This EP was mastered by Tokyo renowned mastering engineer / recording artist Chihei Hatakeyama.
