雨の日の相合傘。二人とも照れながら歩く。
会話の糸口を探すけれど見つからず、
ビニール傘に打ちつける雨音だけを聴いている。
僕たちだけの世界・・・あと一言が言えたら・・
という曲です。
(2021/12/26 voを録り直し。バランスどうかな？)
(2022/1/5　少しだけBassにReverbをかけました。Voが聴き取りやすくなった気がする。)

On a rainy day, you and I share an umbrella and go home. Walk while being shy.
I searched for a clue to the conversation, but I couldn't find it.
I only listen to the sound of rain hitting a vinyl umbrella.
It's a world only for us ... If I could say one more word ...
It is a song called.
(2021/12/26 Re-recording vo. How about the balance?)
(2022/1/5 I applied Reverb to Bass a little. I feel that Vo has become easier to hear.)

■歌詞
『ビニール傘の下で』

ビニール傘を　ノック　する　音を聴いている　僕たち　さっき　からずっと
見上げてごらんよ　雨の雫が　僕達の上　奇麗だよ

On a rainy day.with you.
(You care about the area)

ひたすら　雨
(A little embarrassed to look down)

傘を持つ　手を近づけたら　君が僕に触れて
(I'm thrilled too.I have to talk something.)

二人だけのワンダーランド　水たまりをよけながら
あたりは夜になって　イルミネーション

ビニール傘の　下で　見る　君のマフラーの　巻き方が好きだ
顔を少し埋めて　白い息なんか吐いてる　僕と同じタイミングで

On a rainy day.with me.
(I want to make you mine)

ひたすら　雨
君の事　守るよ　そんな事　言える雰囲気
(But I don't want to realize my feelings for you…But i love you)

傘の下のワンダーランド　魔法がかかってリタルダンド
いまでは僕たちの世界は　スローモーション

On a rainy day.for us.僕らの　雨
君は言った　「もうすぐ魔法が解けてしまうね」

もう少しだけのワンダーランド　僕のそばにいてMy Girl
このまま　君を連れて行きたい　そう言えたらよかった

I want you to stay with me forever(ずっとそばにいてほしいって)
We couldn't say that one word(僕たちその一言が言えなかった)
Memories of a very old rainy day(とても古い雨の日の思い出)

"Under a vinyl umbrella"

We have been listening to the sound of knocking on a vinyl umbrella since a while ago

Look up, the raindrops are beautiful on our side.

On a rainy day.with you.
(You care about the area)

Rain earnestly
(A little embarrassed to look down)

Hold my umbrella When I bring my hand closer, you touch me
(I'm thrilled too.I have to talk something.)

Wonderland for only two people while avoiding puddles
Illuminations around the night

I like how you wrap your muffler, which you see under a vinyl umbrella
You bury your face a little and exhale white
At the same timing as me

On a rainy day.with me.
(I want to make you mine)

Rain earnestly
I want to protect you forever from now on
Atmosphere that can say such a thing
(But I don't want to realize my feelings for you… But i love you)

Wonderland under the umbrella Magical Ritaldando
Now our world is in slow motion

On a rainy day.for us. Our rain
You said, "The magic will soon be solved."

A little more wonderland, beside me, My Girl
I want to take you as it is I wish I could say so

I want you to stay with me forever
We couldn't say that one word
Memories of a very old rainy day

I'm sitting by the window on a mild winter morning. I have a warm cup of tea in my hand and wait for the sun to rise. In the backyard already work the early shift. I do not envy them. Then... a first glowing sunbeam. The morning fog lifts and gives the view into an imaginary future... 
___________________________
Ich sitze am Fenster, an einem milden Wintermorgen. Ich hab eine warme Tasse Tee in der Hand und warte auf den Sonnenaufgang. Im Hinterhof arbeiten schon die Frühschicht. Ich beneide sie nicht. Dann... ein ersten glühender Sonnenstrahl. Der Morgennebel lichtet sich und gibt den Blick frei in eine imaginäre Zukunft.

Stranger's Immune （森羅万象のお菓子mix)

Drama - Finnish Kantele Atmosphere

At the heart of this music lies the steel pan — an instrument born in Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the early 20th century.

During the colonial era, African drumming was banned under British rule, out of fear that rhythms could unify enslaved and marginalized communities. Yet, music could not be silenced.

People turned to bamboo sticks, metal containers, and eventually oil drums, transforming restrictions into invention.
From this resilience emerged the steel pan, the first acoustic instrument created in the 20th century.

The word Creole itself speaks of mixture and convergence: in Republic of Trinidad and Tobago it refers to Creole languages shaped by African, European, and Indigenous influences, and more broadly it names cultures formed where worlds collide.

Reflecting this spirit, Creole weaves the luminous timbre of the steel pan with tribal rhythmic currents, embodying hybridity, memory, and the unbroken force of music.

Latest Updates: 
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
