Castle in Snow - Daybreak

“Spring ~ A Journey of Water ~”

This is a collaboration song with Alex Roe.(https://soundcloud.com/roetaka)
And it’s one of the song from the album “Seasons” that we made. 

“Seasons” has 4 tracks and we decided to make “Spring” and “Summer” like a relay. 
It was just like a jam session, each person wrote a short section about 1~2 minutes, then passed back them like a baton.

It was very fun for me and I really learned many things from his music.
Please enjoy the difference in our style.

この曲は作曲家Alex Roe氏とコラボして制作しました。
コラボアルバム「Seasons」の中の１曲です。

「Seasons」には４曲のトラックがあり、「春」、「夏」の楽曲は
各々が1〜２分の短いセクションを書き、それらをリレーの様に受け渡しながら制作していきました。

「春」は私が主導、「夏」はAlex氏が主導の元、制作しています。

楽曲リレーを行おうとAlex氏から提案を頂いた当初は、
今までひとりで１楽曲を完成させることが当たり前だった私にとって
とても難しいことに感じていました。

曲の接続の仕方も自由で、盛り上げたところで渡してみたり、
もっと聴きたい！という流れの中で次の番が回ってきたりと、
ジャズのアドリブまわしの様な創造的な体験でした。

彼の音楽から学ぶことは多く、とても楽しい経験となりました。
私たちの作風の違いを、ぜひ聴き分けながらお楽しみください。

Spring ~ A Journey of Water ~

Nostalgia

Waltz for a Rainy Day

I wrote this song to capture what it feels like to open up to love again. It's healing for me, I hope it will do the same for you <3

! L Y R I C S !

Lost in your galaxy
Swimming in your eyes
I'm taken back
Trying to decide
If I should make that jump
& let go of my doubts
Open up, try & see what's up
See what love could be about

Mesmerized by you
I'm wishing we could share this moment
Just us two (us two)
The sky's so blue
& it's getting hard for me to not just lose it
In your eyes today
I'm hoping we could just relax & stay (relax & stay)
Frozen in this time-frame & space
Let our stress & worries melt away

And I know you've had your fair share of
Heartbreaks & mistakes made along the way
If you could let your guard down & open up
In your heart is where I chose to stay

Lost in your galaxy
Swimming in your eyes
I'm taken back
Trying to decide
If I should make that jump
& let go of my doubts
Open up, try & see what's up
See what love could be about

It's picking up now
I want to slow down but I don't know how
But no one's around
Unveil what this mystery could be about
I feel your skin pressed onto mine
We're intertwined, feels so divine (divine)
The slightest touch, chills down my spine (my spine)
Your love, its grasp has got a hold on me

Can't you see that we are meant to be
You and me, there's so much chemistry
Love so recklessly, so heavenly

Lost in your galaxy
Swimming in your eyes
I'm taken back
Trying to decide
If I should make that jump
& let go of my doubts
Open up, try & see what's up
See what love could be about

Lost in your galaxy
Swimming in your eyes
I'm taken back
Trying to decide
If I should make that jump
& let go of my doubts
Open up, try & see what's up
See what love could be about

Can't you see that we are meant to be
You and me, there's so much chemistry
Love so recklessly, so heavenly

<3

A Ride Home [Commission]

I imaged when I walk in the rain at night.

Walk in the rain

A Symphonic Poem for a full Orchestra, entitled "The Creation of Hyrule".  It is based upon the music and Soundtracks of several games in the Legend of Zelda Series, and was inspired, in part, by the music of the Symphony of the Goddesses Concert.

In an attempt to become a part of the Symphonic Concert, I hit upon the idea of writing a Symphonic Poem.  A Symphonic Poem (or Tone Poem) is, by definition, a piece of Orchestral music, usually in a single continuous movement, which illustrates or evokes the content of a poem, short story, novel, painting, landscape, or other (non-musical) source.  While many Symphonic Poems may compare in size and scale to symphonic movements (or even reach the length of an entire Symphony), they are unlike traditional Classical Symphonic Movements in that their music is intended to inspire listeners to imagine or consider scenes, images, specific ideas or moods, and not (necessarily) to focus on following traditional patterns of Musical Form.  In short, the composition tells a story through the music.  I chose the name "The Creation of Hyrule" as the structure and scope of the piece was inspired by the Symphonic works of the composer Gustav Mahler, who equated his Symphonies as "Symphonic Universes", where each Symphony simulated the construction of a World.  I attempted, out of my love for this ideal, to replicate this in the music.

The work itself is half Composition, half Arrangement.  It contains original work of my own, as well as numerous themes from many different games in the Legend of Zelda series; some as they are in the game, others slightly altered, or even simply the melody/rhythm used, sometimes combined with work of my own to provide a contrapuntal counterpart.  But for the sake of the Disclaimer, I am attributing the work to Kondo Koji and Wakai Hajime Senseis, who composed the majority, if not all, of the themes included in this work.  Those themes are theirs, and NOT my own.

Games in the Legend of Zelda Series from whose respective Soundtracks this piece is constructed from include:

The Legend of Zelda
A Link to the Past
A Link between Worlds
Ocarina of Time
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword
Breath of the Wild

The Story portrayed by this piece runs as follows:

In the beginning, there was nothing.  The Song of Time plays alone amongst the mists of the Strings, and from out of it comes the Creation, as portrayed in Ocarina of Time.  As the Sun rises on the first day, the entirety of Hyrule, in all its splendour can be seen.  Then, into this idyllic world come the Gerudos, headed by Ganondorf, who usurp the land.  Link, the hero of the story, hears about Hyrule's plight and sets off on a journey to vanquish Ganondorf.  Coming across the Gerudo Fortress, he attempts to break in, but his assault is stopped by Ganondorf, who leaves him helpless.  Zelda comes across Link, and heals him of his wounds, taking him to the Great Fairy to strengthen him, and to turn him into the Hero he was destined for.  Finally, after taking hold of The Master Sword, he storms Hyrule Castle, encounters Ganondorf again, and after an epic struggle, defeats Ganondorf, and uses the Triforce to restore Hyrule back to its former glory.
