I am working on a cat-themed instrumental. 「Desert Cat Dreams」was inspired by a cat wandering in the desert. What kind of dreams does a cat have in a desolate desert? I intertwined a minor, hard-boiled Latin sound with acoustic guitar and an alternative guitar at the ending. Please listen to it.

「Shelter Cat Blues」is an acoustic-guitar-only blues song about a shelter cat. It is a simple 3-chord blues instrumental. For those who are fed up with a world full of computer-generated, childish, snack-light commercial music, the Blues is the real music.

「Cat Waiting For Summer」 is literally a song about a cat waiting for summer. My cat "Tee-chan" was born in August, so he must be looking forward to summer very much. Every day he looks out the window at the train and imagines the coming summer sea. We have put such feelings into a summery bossa nova. I used an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar, and I used a bit crusher to create a sound like game music and play the melody in a cheap way. I also play bongo. Please feel free to listen to it.

「Green Sleeves（kitten's Lullaby）」。This song is an arrangement of the famous English folk song 「Greensleeves」with alternative guitar. I played it while watching a cat taking a nap. Music fans who love cats, please give it a listen.
