A beautiful song born from a mother's love. Rest in peace to the gorgeous Yamamoto Mayumi and her son, I hope both are reunited in heaven.

Mai Yamane / 山根麻衣 - (You And Me Still Keep On) Fall In Love

Tatsuro Yamashita | LOVE SPACE

This track was originally written for one of the so-called “Japanese divas” popular at the time, but it was never used.
In the 1990s, whether it was Acid Jazz or alternative rock, the mainstream sound was gritty, hazy, and atmospheric—quite the opposite of today.

Watching Professional arrangers at work in the my sound making recording studio, I learned that even on keyboards, playing in a clavinet style could instantly make the groove funkier.
I remember throwing myself into the keys with all my energy.

The melody itself leaned heavily toward traditional Japanese pop, but recently I replaced the vocals and other parts with AI, giving it a fresh new character.
Because the original data was preserved on hard disk, I was able to recover the multitrack parts and faithfully reproduce the arrangement as it was.

Listening back to those old sounds, I can clearly hear what I myself was listening to at the time.

当時流行していた「JAPANESEディーバ」と呼ばれる女性シンガーのために書いたが、採用されずにボツになった曲。
1990年代は、アシッドジャズにしてもオルタナロックにしても、ざらついた音やもわっとした空気感のあるサウンドが主流で、今とは逆だった。
スタジオで僕の曲を編曲してくださった、プロのアレンジャーを見て、キーボードでClavinet奏法を試すと、それだけでグルーヴィーでファンキーになることを学んだ。
夢中で鍵盤を弾いていた記憶がある。

メロディは典型的な歌謡曲のようだったが、いまはAIを用いて声や他のパートを差し替え、当時とは違う響きで蘇らせている。
この頃のデータはハードディスクに残してあったため、楽器ごとのマルチデータを再現でき、当時のアレンジを忠実に蘇らせることができた。
昔の音を聴くと、その時代の自分が何を聴いていたかが鮮明に思い出される。

All the Things

Stars across every horizon
(come closer)
Join my rising line, rising line
Stars across every horizon
(come closer)
Join my rising line, rising line

First I reach the faint worlds drifting outward
Then I call the distant clusters into heat
Don’t you feel how my glow is slowly widening?
Let this circle keep on moving, moving through

Let it flow
Let it flow
Let it flow

Stars across every horizon
(hold on)
Join my rising line, rising line
Stars across every horizon
(hold on)
Join my rising line, rising line

Every small companion drifting in my shadow
Pull them all, from faint embers to bright rings
Please don’t linger at the colder edge, I’m calling
If you stay behind, you’ll lose this warming tide

Let it flow
Let it flow
Let it flow

Stars across every horizon
(come forward)
Join my rising line, rising line
Stars across every horizon
(come forward)
Join my rising line, rising line

Let it flow
Let it flow
Let it flow

Stars across every horizon
(join the glow)
Join my rising line, rising line
Stars across every horizon
(join the glow)
Join my rising line, rising line
Stars across every horizon
(join the glow)
Join my rising line, rising line
Stars across every horizon
(join the glow)
Join my rising line, rising line

Midnight Pretenders

I am compiling the songs I have created as an artist since my younger days. 
I have retired from work,
and now I spend each day embraced by the light and breeze of the tropics.
Far from the noise of the city, I wake to the scent of the sea and the songs of birds.
Time flows gently here, as if the past and present versions of myself are quietly in conversation.

My main focus is on composing and arranging. 
I began my career as a game sound creator in the early days of the internet, credited under the name djnagureo.
I was also involved in planning games and apps, and even managed to successfully run a facility for children.
Those experiences earned me recognition from many people, and I am deeply grateful for them.

Now, as an artist, I want to create the music I truly desire.
To begin this journey, I started by recreating the kind of music I longed to make in my younger days.

I knew that in order to create the music I truly wanted—freely, without compromise, and untouched by outside influence—I had to achieve complete financial independence.
It took decades of persistence, and now, at 52, I have finally reached that point.
At last, I can devote myself entirely to making music for myself alone, without reliance on anyone.

Throughout my career, I have always delivered professionally in every project.
But to say I was creating 100% for myself would be a lie.
Now, however, I stand determined: every note I write belongs solely to me.

The works I have produced JPOP professionally have been released under a different name.
