Unearthed the soundtrack of the rejected version of "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me".

Nice one, me.

As for "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me" the song and lyrics were all rejected once and newly rewritten, and now the source material has been unearthed.

First of all, the way the song develops is slightly different. For example, drums are suddenly added in the intro, and drums continue after the chorus.
It's more solid, or clickier, or less reverberant, or something like that, than the finished version.
I thought it needed to be more interesting, so I decided to ma...

Behind the Scenes of Creating "Kikuo Miku 7": Light Stories

It took three years to make, but I feel like I created about five songs in just one month. That's just the way it goes. That's just the way it is.

This is a light production record that does not touch on the too-sensitive parts.

**Articles written in Japanese on pixiv FANBOX are automatically translated into English, and only minimal parts are revised.

There may be some mistranslati...

A very small thank you note

Just a few minutes ago, the support money for this month was transferred. Thank you so much!


Due to the recession in Japan, the yen has been depreciating against the dollar at a rapid pace.

Compared to 2011, the value of the yen has dropped by two thirds to half compared to the dollar.

However, the Patreon donations are paid in US dollars.

So when I exchange dollars to yen and buy vegetables in Japan, I will tell you that your donation is coming to me at a h...

About Healthy Living. I use the support money to buy proper, slightly better vegetables. (Public)

Now, I'm going to write an article on miscellaneous topics. It's been a while.

As long as I have made it a point to send vegetables, I have to take care of that thought on a daily basis, and I am still doing a pretty good job with my diet.


I am now 33 years old, and more and more creators of the same age are starting to feel the fatigue in their bodies.... This is not simply due to age, but rather the effects of long-term inactivity. We really have to be careful.

"Knife, Knife, Knife" Backstage

Well, this time, I decided on the concept of "Rock in Kikuo-style" and made it.


The story behind this song is that one day I received an e-mail from a singer's office asking me to produce a song. 

I was taking a bath at that time, so "I often come up with songs in the bathtub," I said, "and here's a rough recording of me singing it out loud in the bathtub!" I replied within an hour or so of receiving the e-mail, but I guess I was recognized as a bad guy, because I ...

Reference Song Playlist

I've uploaded a playlist on Spotify of the songs I actually used as references when creating "Astral Travel"!

This is the one I'm not sure if I'll display on the artist page when this song is available on Spotify. I'll share it here only for the time being.

Thank you for all your patronage. And long time no see.

For some reason, I have not been able to update this page for a long time. But now that I have released a new song successfully, I will be doing well again.

In this article, I will tell you why.

Since I have a lot of topics to talk about, I will divide them into several articles and publish them frequently.

Behind-the-scenes of "Voices of Svaahaa" and the "crazy" playlist


Here is a draft of the "Voices of Svaahaa" artwork.

I asked si_ku.k to do the artwork this time. I'm so excited to have her do such a great job.


I made the rough draft and then used it as the basis for the finished artwork.

The instructions are quite detailed, but I f...

A little more detail on my two-year absence.

Now, after a two-year break from production, I have fully recovered and resumed my activities. I'd like to elaborate a bit.


There had been signs of this for some time, but after ignoring them with a flurry of energy and enthusiasm, I began to experience concrete problems with my production.

That timing, the release of the album "Kikuo Miku 6," the sudden buzz around "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me," and the support of Patreon and FANBOX gave me the opportunity to take a brea...

Well, a little time has passed since the last post.


When I remembered, there was a sign. The mental problems I had had for a long time had finally come on, making it almost impossible to write songs.


Even though I was doing light work, losing 20 songs, and recording songs that I imagined, I couldn't finish it at all.

Small article ☺️


Yeah, it's a small article.

I'm not good at writing a long article because of my character (so calm) so it's good for me ☺️


Everyday I have a lot of veggies, meats and fruits. And walking.

And sometimes I buy new instrument softwares. For example, oldtime school organ, bass fatter... and so on.

Thank you for your support!!
