In the intro, a common cricket, often found throughout Japan, used to visit my bathroom during breaks. It was still a young one in spring, but it already had one large leg missing, I couldn't tell if it was born that way or lost it in an accident, but its struggling movements in the empty bathtub were truly heartrending. Wanting to help, I started leaving cabbage scraps in the tub. Eventually, I would catch glimpses of it enjoying the meal without disrupting its feeding. The passing summer saw it grow into a vibrant creature, bringing solace to my heart with its lively presence.

As autumn approached, I was taken aback by a loud, unfamiliar chirp I had never heard before. In a rush, I grabbed a recorder and captured almost two hours of its powerful voice as it clung to the cabbage, singing its heart out. When it finished, it returned through the drain, and that was the last time I saw it. I never came across it again. The recorded sound became a farewell song to me, filled with gratitude for the moments of healing it had provided.

This year, a new visitor, a young cricket, has arrived, I offer cabbage and pray for its safe growth...

Welcome to my page!

I've been playing the guitar for many years, albeit poorly, with the support of great band members.

In 1988, I discovered the joy of using MIDI files as a way to express my music on his ATARI 1040ST computer and fell in love with it. Fortunately or unfortunately, that obsession continues to this day.

All music posted on this Soundcloud was written with a mouse.
The only exception is that I play the guitar part in No. 16 Yin Yang.
Assembling music on a computer is easy, and you can discover the fun of serendipity.

The main reason I make music is to find melodies that I want to hear.
I find it most interesting and educational when I try various things and make sounds on the computer screen.

Music has the mysterious power to remind us of our past selves. I hope that my music posted here will help you remember the present in the future.

I cannot reply to comments immediately, but I will definitely reply, but I may not be able to reply to messages. Please understand.

Thank you.
