Interview With "Arco" Filmmaker Ugo Bienvenu And Producer Natalie Portman

静かな夜にだけこっそり流れる“シークレット・ロマンス”。
ネオンの揺れと、心の奥のささやきをそのまま音にした曲です。

赤と青の余熱が漂う、MORUNEのネオン系サウンドシリーズ。

シークレット・ロマンス

爆発の直前みたいに心がざわつく、エッジの効いた1曲。
ネオンが脈打つ夜をそのまま閉じ込めた “ボム・ハッピー・エンド”。

赤と青が交差して、感情が暴れるのにどこか幸福な余韻が残る。
MORUNEのネオン系サウンドシリーズ。

PeakLaserFocus -  Superior (Alone in the Midnight dark)  Apexety Remix

The Incredible Journey” is a sonic adventure that lives up to its name. From the very first beat, the track pulls you into a world of pulsating rhythms and atmospheric layers that feel both futuristic and deeply emotional. The opening sets the tone with a smooth, immersive build-up, gradually introducing shimmering synths and a driving bassline that promises movement and excitement.

As the track progresses, the energy intensifies without ever losing its sense of balance. The transitions are seamless, creating a feeling of constant motion—like traveling through different landscapes of sound. There’s a hypnotic quality in the midsection, where melodic motifs intertwine with percussive elements, giving listeners a moment to breathe before the next surge of energy.

What makes this track stand out is its storytelling through sound. Each section feels like a chapter, and by the time you reach the climax, you’re fully invested in the journey. The production is clean and dynamic, with every detail carefully placed to enhance the listening experience. It’s the kind of track that works equally well on a dance floor or in a late-night headphone session.

If you’re looking for music that combines groove, atmosphere, and a sense of exploration, “The Incredible Journey” delivers all that and more. A must-listen for fans of progressive electronic and anyone who loves music that takes them places.

The Incredible Journey

YJ x Haku Friendz - raininGold ft breezy

SAKURA NOIR is a journey through neon Tokyo nights — where koto echoes drift between metal riffs, chromed sakura petals fall like sparks, and every shadow hides a pulse.  
This album blends Japanese scales, cinematic synths, emotional arps, stealthy basslines, samurai-metal energy, and late-night phonk textures.

Each track captures a different side of the city:
the quiet rooftops, the glowing alleys, the steel, the ghosts, the rhythm of a neon katana cutting through the dark.

Made to feel like a whole world — futuristic, poetic, dangerous, beautiful.


Nightfall Sakura

Mid-tempo Tokyo phonk with koto plucks, drifting bass, and clean drop leads sliding through Shibuya’s neon night.

“Numb” is a dark, cinematic cyberpunk track about feeling emotionally shut off in a world that’s more digital than human. Cold synths, a pulsing grid-like groove, and neon-tinted textures blend into a slow burn that’s meant for late-night drives, headphones, and staring at the ceiling when everything feels a little too much and nothing at all at the same time.
