"Cybernetic Melancholia - 電脳メランコリア" is the fifth album by OKURUTO, an experimental Japanese electronic artist known for blending J-pop, chiptune, vaporwave, anime aesthetics, lo-fi, and retrowave into immersive soundscapes.

This concept album tells the tragic yet beautiful story of Shizuka, a sentient android who awakens to self-awareness, only to realize that she is an anomaly—a ghost in the machine. Hunted by the system, she must erase her most cherished memories, escape relentless cybernetic enforcers, and ultimately face oblivion. Each track unfolds like an anime episode, taking listeners on a journey through bittersweet nostalgia, high-energy digital chaos, and haunting electronic dreamscapes.

Through glitchy synth textures, distorted vocal fragments, melancholic melodies, and cinematic 80s-inspired arpeggios, "Cybernetic Melancholia" captures the fleeting beauty of a digital soul on the verge of deletion. The album oscillates between ethereal lo-fi ballads, pulsating cyberpunk techno, and euphoric synthpop climaxes, delivering an emotional narrative that lingers long after the music fades.

For fans of Yasutaka Nakata, Porter Robinson, Mitch Murder, and cyberpunk anime soundtracks, "Cybernetic Melancholia - 電脳メランコリア" is an introspective, futuristic odyssey exploring memory, existence, and the fragile connection between human and machine.

🔹 Genre: Cyberpunk J-Pop / Chiptune / Lo-fi / Retrowave
🔹 Mood: Melancholic, Dreamlike, High-Energy, Nostalgic
🔹 RIYL: Cyberpunk anime OSTs, Virtual idols, Future nostalgia

A memory erased is not a memory lost.

My Musical Journey – Thomas GT

I was born in the 1960s and grew up with music flowing through my veins. From an early age, rock was more than just sound—it was a way of life. At 12 years old, I picked up my first guitar, inspired by the roaring energy of the rock scene—bands like KISS, Judas Priest, Saxon, and Iron Maiden lit the fire in my soul.

Through the years that followed, I played in several bands, living for the thrill of the stage and the camaraderie of creating music together. Those were unforgettable days—loud, passionate, and full of life.

At 28, my life took a new turn when I became a father. My focus shifted entirely to raising my children and caring for my dear family, and music quietly moved to the background. The guitars gathered dust, but the melodies never truly left my heart.

Now, at 60, that spark has reignited. The passion is back—but the hands don’t quite move like they used to. Thankfully, modern text-based music technology (AI) has opened a whole new door. Through it, I can craft music with words, bringing my feelings, my lyric and my ideas to life in ways I never thought possible.

Today, my inspirations have evolved—artists like Peter Cetera, Dayseeker, and Wind Walkers now shape the sound and emotion of my work. For me, this is more than just making music again—it’s finding my voice after all these years, and finally sharing the emotions I once kept inside.

All of my songs are created as demos—sketches of ideas meant to capture and express the emotions I carry, and have carried, throughout my life. They are my way of painting feelings in sound, of telling stories that my words alone cannot hold.

My greatest wish is for real musicians to one day perform and interpret these songs, breathing their own life and artistry into my stories. To hear my lyric/music brought to life in that way would be the proudest moment of my life.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time to read my story.
