given the fact Blogger is failed to support me with some basic functions - I was forced to move this blog to a new place. I keep this one. I have it for more than a decade, but start updating here
Timeless Sunshine is a chill single as part of Memories of the Untold chill album saga. The song is inspired by Japanese gardens and the oriental chill vibe of traditinal East Asian culture. Whereas back then in 2010 I did not have the chance to travel there, I wished one day to enjoy oriental chill myself and therefore created lots of chill songs in this genre.
Memories of the Untold was my fifth chill music album, where I wished to look back a bit to my favourite album, The Empire. Though my music evolved (or so I believe), still somehow I feel they are connected.
As for the video - this was one of my very first videos I recorded for the sake of Latte Chill project. Funny thing that a decade later we spent a couple of days at the exact same place, please find both videos below.
Also looking for a longer chill mix? I uploaded some Sakura Beats back then during Spring - one of them has this chill song on the setlist:
I know I just shared Stars Falling Down single yesterday - but today is special for me. Two of my old singles are having anniversary today - Aoi is one of them.
This song was inspired by a famous Japanese drama called Bloody Monday. I wished to have a complete tribute album but back then in 2011 my life changed just to much and I lost motivation for composing music. In fact until the revival of Latte Chill project (2016 autumn), I did not really composed anything.
Also this song... well in a way a tribute to Miura Haruma, who sadly took his own life this year and was the lead actor of Bloody Monday.
Enjoy this sad chill song for free with a mug of coffee and watch the drama if you can - worthy to give it a try!
I also add a video here I shot in Tokyo last year as I used Aoi
New sad chill music EP is coming pretty soon:

Stars Falling Down is a song originally composed by Kyoki of Dark Cherry (my band, we rocked the stage with until 2011).
Almost 10 years passed since and I contacted all the members to see how they are doing and if they allow me to rework the original pieces of Dark Cherry in chill genre.
Hate My Wings is another oldie but goodie experimental electro song I composed way back in 2006 with fellow bandmate Jigsaw in T21CB. While the experimental rock genre band's concept was largely based on Malice Mizer and other Japanese visual kei bands.
As part of the Latte Chill era, my aim was to rework these songs instrumentally more closer to my concept of 2018. So I sampled lots of Nintendo Game Boy sounds and build a soundbank just for this songs.
Eventually ReMirakels chiptune EP came to life and I decided to share some of the songs free for anyone willing to listen/follow.
My very first song I composed with fellow mate Jigsaw in our experimental rock duo, T21CB. Years later I decided to rework the song in minimal disco genre just for fun. As I released this electro song as part of No Past But Future, I decided to offer it for free, anyone interested to listen,
Please find the song here for free or give it a try below
Somewhat the vibe is changing immediately by 1st September. Of course school starts, kids are not free anymore, projects begin, new sport seasons kick off. Still this year is different.
We had such negative/fearful season that somehow this vibe change feels different compare to last years'.
As for music: live music has its own limitations, more bands turn to acoustic version, everything becomes ambient a bit. Do you agree?
As a musician, I also change a lot in my habits. I decided to go live and mix longer sets for you:
I slowed down in the first quarters of the year in music production either but this period ended and I just released a new EP either:
...and more to come.
Latte Chill project will change a bit in 2020: I hope to start a long chill/ambient journey on a certain topic that is related my past. I also consider to continue featuring guests artist, like I did before on Bebop II,Southern Vibes and Zeitgeist Guitarist EPs.
I do consider offering more chill mixes as well to boost mood on my Youtube channel.
...and I do consider shifting focus a bit. More on music and bedroom produce along with some DJing and less videos/Instagram activities.
Again, time will tell.
I also hope to chill soon - in 2021 - by the sea. It always boosts my mood and helps me composing more nature chill songs.
Till then? Look forward to it. September 30 is coming soon.
I found this lighthouse by the shores of San Andreas - a little island south-west from Sardinia.
We travelled there with my wife during our trip to Portoscuso 2019 - this is when I decided that I want to compose an album inspired by the Mediterranean Sea.
Due to the recent situation, I decided to go with an EP at first, but I hope to continue it later.
Finally having time to watch this season
To be honest, I was pretty much afraid of s3
Most series are dying at s3-s4 and after all the mysteries having in s1, s2 was pretty much boring as the story failed to evolve
Well, s3 managed to turn it around opening up quite a few new storylines
Without spoilers: finally we get some answers on the wall & titans as well as on the title (why "attack on titan" - which is not entirelly translated well)
