emotional melodic bass track from Tokyo-based me - the music producer - and UK-based singer. the title is a play on words between the English and Japanese for the phrase. this one day when i was in a bigger studio in Tokyo, a little Japanese kid walked in, and i just overheard her say “kira kira boshi.” which in English means "sparkle sparkle star." i stated to think...kira kira boshi...sparkle sparkle star...kira kira star…killer killer star….!

the title was born right there. 

for when you look at someone you love, and you want the best for them, you want them to go find the stage where they can shine the brightest, and set that stage on fire, and feel safe to even try to do that.

Killer Killer Star

"Imagine Luke Skywalker rising up and realising that this is his moment to become the hero." That was the direction I got to make this song.

Gods Can Cry

Gods Can Cry - After Anime Mix

Progressive house summer anthem with US/Japanese singer’s vocal melody starting immediately, setting you up for an emotional, energetic and euphoric mainstage mainstream EDM festival season.

Baby Dragon Bite

a “Happy New Year Song,” but the word “Happy” is crossed out…

it’s sad i felt i had to write a song like this.

i allowed myself and my feelings a day off on Christmas Day, although i know full well many others could not just simply do that. 

i tried to “unspark all my anger, un-fire all my guns.” 
at least for one night.

sometimes “i wish that i could just undream it.”

Undream It

Originally designed as a Sam Smith song, this track is more lyric-focused than my usual melodic bass synth-focused. The lyrics talk about the frustrations of one person in a relationship not giving as much to the other person, and the idea that we only have one heart, and we need it to be treated more kindly than it is. 

Also, the notion that whichever way you cut it up, however you arrange it or put it together to make sense to you, and however much your heart is made to suffer anyway - “love is love (is love is love is love is love).“

The Only Heart I Have

Dedicated to the mum who lost her 5-year-old kid in the fires in the New Years Day earthquake in Ishikawa, Japan. March is graduation season and cherry blossom season here in Japan. Every song out there is a happy song about those things. It really pains me to think of that mum not being able to see her kid graduate from daycare and step up in to elementary school, which is a big emotional milestone here. I felt like there was no song out there for that mum. I hope that this might be one

End Scene

Undream It All

Dedicated to the mum who lost her 5-year-old son to the January 1st earthquake Japan, who will not get to see him graduate this March from daycare to elementary school, a major milestone here in Japan.

1月1日の地震で5歳の息子を失ったお母さんに捧げます。この3月に保育園から小学校への卒業、この重要な節目を見ることができないです。

End Scene - 卒業の日 feat. Kanoa

fun angry ex-girlfriend anthem, an energetic synthwave retrowave 80s pop song about not caring what an ex-boyfriend thinks about me anymore.

Now I Don't Care

The idea that love is not spelt l-o-v-e any more. You spell it with a D. 
It's spelt l-o-v-e-D. 

My newest melodic sentimental future bass track with Japanese atmospherics. Guest vocalist KINO delivers a shimmering vocal performance, and really commits to the theme of the track. She is a tarot card reader with 100,000 followers, and based in Tokyo.

This is the instrumental track.

high-octane future bass track to fit the times we are in.

in the US, you need to win 270 electoral college votes for a president to be elected.
so, we have gone to Tokyo's Gotokuji temple, the birthplace of the Japanese lucky cat,
and we have shot 270 lucky cats and made them in to a promo video to send to the Democrats as good luck charms.

check out all the white lucky cats + the one black lucky cat for Kamala ♡.
