Here, kaito's newest release is a 30-minute minimalist piece. The original version is a simple synth piece, and the full score version is an acoustic piece with a more contemporary interpretation. It takes an hour to listen to both versions. As I was creating this piece, I felt as if I was being transported to some distant, unknown world. Please listen to it.

kaitoの今作品は１曲30分のミニマルミュージックに徹しました。シンプルなシンセサウンドに徹したオリジナルバージョンと、フルスコアーバージョンと題したアコースティックサウンドをフューチャーしたより現代音楽的解釈に作り込んだ作品となってます。この２バージョンをそのまま聴くと１時間。何処か遠い知らない世界へ誘ってもらえそうな感覚に作りながらなりました。是非聴いてください。

Summer Dream (cinematic mix)

kaito new album release “afterlife” 
https://hiroshiwatanabe.bandcamp.com/album/afterlife

This new album "afterlife" is a continuation of the previous work "Summer Dream". 
The title does not refer to the afterlife or any spiritual way… 
focusing to bring our attention more strongly to the present, the present that we are living in now. this is a paradoxical phrase to use. 
The soundscape is nostalgic with beats and beatless reflections of various emotions. I hope you will immerse yourself in the ambient world that seems to reflect various emotions.

___Album Release Notes____________________

Embarking on a quest for heart liberation and freedom, Kaito's New Album "LUMINOUS ECHOES" has been released. 15 tracks + 1 bonus track total 106 minutes. featuring a characteristic simplicity while consciously challenging complex layers. Within the expansive realm of the ambient genre, each track aims to resonate and evoke empathy in listeners' lives. This year, the focus has been on improvisational live performances, with studio play taking the lead in the creative process. The method of conveying emotions directly is deemed most effective. Navigating post-pandemic challenges, we constantly reassess future directions and life's purpose. We fervently hope for an end to tragedies such as global conflicts, attacks, and violence. Grateful for the joy of creative expression through music, we share the sentiments encapsulated in this album. Thank you always. 

Kaitoの新作”LUMINOUS ECHOES"がリリースされました。15曲＋ボーナストラック1曲、合計106分。シンプルな構成が特徴でありながらも、複雑な階層に挑戦しています。アンビエントのジャンル内で広がる表現の中で、各楽曲はリスナーの生活に共鳴し、共感を呼び起こすことを目指しています。今年は即興のライブパフォーマンスに焦点を当て、スタジオでの演奏が制作の主軸となりました。感情をそのまま伝える手法が最も効果的だと考えています。パンデミックの課題を乗り越え、僕たちは未来の方向性や生きる目的について常に問い直しています。世界の紛争や攻撃、暴力といった悲劇が絶えることを強く願っています。音楽を通じた創造の喜びに感謝し、このアルバムに込めた思いを共有します。いつもありがとう。

HW DJ MIX for "THE SELEC-TONE" Original take

My Voiceover Translation below.
bayfm87 "THE SELEC-TONE" broadcasted on 4/19(sun)25:00-25:57

Good evening, it's HIROSHI WATANABE.
For this issue of The Selectone, I made a DJ mix while thinking about 
the situation in the world that is happening right now.
To everyone who listens, I would be happy if the music bundled into one could feel comfort, 
courage, power, and hope, even if only a little.
I was supposed to talk about my resolutions for this year, but
We' re living right now! more than ever before
I believe it's also about realizing the importance of the everyday life 
that we used to take for granted until recently.
The speed of change to a brighter future will be greatly changed by the actions of each and every one of us. The purpose of creating this mix was to get everyone together to get through this difficult time.
It is my sincere hope that even a little encouragement will help you.
So, please listen to about an hour of the mix.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoyed it.
I've been sending HIROSHI WATANABE's DJ mix today.
In a year when everyone was hoping and expecting so much, the year 2020 has seen a spectacular global shift in magnitude in the blink of an eye. We're not at the stage now where the future looks bright. But I'm confident that there will come a time when things will be straightened out.
And what action should we take now to not only believe, but to do so? 
I think it's important to think again and make a solid decision.
We're chased by a flood of information.
Or, if possible, to avoid the mental exhaustion that comes with pursuing too much. I want to make music that can support my heart and I want to let go of it.  I would like to continue to do what I can do while desperately searching. 
I strongly hope that the number of people infected and the number of people suffering from the disease will be reduced and that the future will be brighter.


Thank you.

There are 4 songs on this EP, and I envisioned the autumn leaves, life in the silence, the earth rumbling, the illusion of countless colors folding over each other in the world, and many other things. A Call from the Ground" is the new release in the Kaito Drone Ambient Series, which has been released since summer. The title track, "The Land That Breathes in Millions of Colors," is a minimalistic piece of music that runs for about 30 minutes. There's a separate take on the bonus track. There is a difference in the last eight minutes. I believe that music has the power to bring you back to your inner self, wherever you are at any time. I hope that the world will soon return to a safe and healthy daily life.

今回のEPには４つの曲があり、静寂の中にある鼓動、地鳴りのする大地、世の中に存在する数え切れない色の折り重なる幻想、沢山の事を思い描きました。「A Call from the Ground」は夏からリリースしているkaitoドローンアンビエントシリーズの新作になります。タイトル曲の「The Land That Breathes in Millions of Colors」は約30分間のミニマル楽曲です。ボーナストラックには別テイクも用意してます。ラスト8分に違いがあります。音楽はいつでもどこにいても自分の内面に戻れる力を持ってると信じてます。世界中に安心と安全な日々が早く戻りますように。

HIROSHI WATANABE Ambient DJ Set at Dommune Dec.17th 2020

PLEASE GO LINK to my BANDCAMP SITE to check and listen all other versions for 
kaito "A life that can only dream now".  Brand new 1st release in 2021.

https://hiroshiwatanabe.bandcamp.com
 
A life that can only dream That's the sound I made. This track was recorded with a lot of variations. The original and beatless version, an organic version that transforms into a neoclassical mood, and a drone and beat only version. And a drone only take. The original is my favorite, but you can listen to all of them and choose which one you prefer. 
I sincerely hope that the world will soon regain comfort and safety. Always have a smile inside your mask! 

もし自分の夢がいくつも見えてて選んで生きていけたら最高！って音で表しました。この楽曲の収録には今回バリエーションを多く揃えました。オリジナルに続いてビートレス、ネオクラシカル的なムードにも変容するオーガニックバージョン、ドローンとビートのみ。そしてドローンだけのテイク。僕はオリジナルが一番好きだけど良かったら是非全部聴いてみてどれが好みか選んでみて下さい。 
世界中が1日も早く安心を取り戻せる事を心から願っています。
