The joy of making music is riding on top of the anxiety and pain

My plan was that if I used what I have now, it would definitely bear fruit in a good way. However, due to external requests, I had to travel and research in an area far from my territory, which took a huge amount of time and effort. I was taking on all kinds of risks, and on top of the anxiety and pain I felt every day, the excitement of composing itself was mixed in. What I can say in the midst of going through all of this is that there is a high probability that what I am currently making w...

Can someone who doesn't believe in fate create a work that makes people believe in fate?

I started working on this song just two months ago, and it's just starting to take shape.

This song was once completed, but it couldn't be released as is.

To transform this song into the way it should be, I would need to work in a huge, new, unexperienced field, which would take a lot of time, and I would have to take all the risks myself.

I didn't have time to do that at the time. There were so many other things I had to do that it was impossible. I thoroughly investigated ...

The golden time for my compositions comes as night begins

I thought the same thing back when I was at Namco, but the golden time for my compositions comes as night begins.

Looking at my memory, timestamps, and concentration on the song, I think the hours between 18:00 and 21:00 were the hottest.

I'm sure external mixes are also at their peak during this time.

First of all, when producing in-house, the outside line stops ringing at this time. In other words, there's no need to respond to external contact.

The internal line doe...

Move Me Feel Marshmello Style - Summer2021MM / Limited shared song Vol.32

Since summer is in full swing, I'd like to present you with a song called Summer2021MM.

This is a track I started making out of curiosity, wondering what would happen if I tried to create a new melody in the style of Marshmello's Summer from 2017, but with the feeling of Move Me.

A dramatic shortcut?

The DnB song I delivered recently was very dramatic, and I listened to it over and over again, not just for checking it out. However, the production process was also very dramatic and difficult, and the time and budget spent on research made those around me very anxious. In the end, there are no shortcuts in life.

Somehow I like this groove

1200 TECHNIQUES FLOW IS TROUBLE FT. GHOSTFACE KILLAH

I like this groove for some reason.

I think this was used in Forza Horizon 3. I want to include a song like this in the REIWA series. If we change the region and genre of garage music depending on the team, we can do a lot of things. It's hard to make though.

Someone has appeared who can bring what I know to life in this day and age!

The creator of this amazing soundtrack, he took the songs he was working on to one of the R4 composers, Kota Takahashi, and based on his advice, he bought himself a 90's instrument and composed the music himself! Not many people go that far! Sugoi!

Prologue History - FM Mix Spotify Release Celebration

I started writing Prologue in October 2015.

I wanted to somehow escape the daily grind of writing songs I was being asked to write, I wanted to raise the flagship flagship song, and I started writing it in a year.

The FM sound source version was created with the characteristics of a harmonic multiplication sound source in mind, and the album delivery itself is more than twice as high as usual, at over 96Khz, which is a super high frequency. I thought it would be perfect for the po...

Many failures and detours

It took many failures and detours to get to where we are today in terms of skill and awareness. Working backwards, the more you attempt multiple subjects each day, the more you will fail and learn, and the faster you will get to your goal.

Roots of each person

I think this has already been mentioned here and there, I've been listening to the 1990 album Rust in Peace by megadeth for 34 years now. Its influence can be seen in Ace Combat 2 and Ridge Racer Type 4, but I still find new things when I listen to it now. That's how much our musical roots have shaped our life.

I feel most motivated to write songs after midnight.

My motivation to compose music is highest after midnight. There are no planes, motorbikes, or trucks, and no deliveries, phone calls, or requests. This is something I learned from working late into the night and on weekends and holidays during my time at Namco. At night, I don't have time to take care of my three-dimensional and physical needs, such as making contact, doing paperwork, cleaning, eating, or training, and I can devote all of that time to composing. Not being exposed to miscellan...

What will Kohta Takahashi's next album be like?

Dear members,

REIWA TYPE 6 is currently in the works, and I am vaguely planning a rock-style album like Ace Combat 2 or Tekken.

Other than the types mentioned above, could you tell us your image, predictions and hopes for the next album that you will create, Kohta Takahashi ?

For example, even if it's just a fantasy, what is the name of a work (game, anime, movie, artist, band, etc.) for which you would like to have a theme song written?

Konami's Salamander has had a big influence on my musical style, for example the bass line in this song.

July 4th is the release date for the arcade version of

Salamander! I fell in love with the dope worldview. This is a cover I did on my PC-8801FA when I was in college!

The R4 team I'm most attached to is PRC <PAC RACING CLUB>. This team is sponsored by Namco, and I was able to grow as a rookie by being trained in Namco's R4 team. 🏎🔰

When I first joined the R4 team, I was a total amateur who had never made a single dance music song. I didn't know what to study or how to study, and I knew for sure that I wouldn't be able to make music by just sitting at my desk in the office. So I just devoured music sources and followed my seniors' example...

Piano Mountain Rendered - Limited shared song Vol.31

Piano, synth pad and synth bass... This is an early version of a song inspired by Massive Attack and reminiscent of the atmosphere at the top of a snowy mountain.

The following is an excerpt from a Namco notebook from 1998

When I'm in a really tough situation, both physically and mentally, my own songs cheer me up. That power is amazing. The idea for this song may have been born from beyond time and space, anticipating the difficult situations we all will face in the future.ifficult situations we all will face in the future.

I was discharged from the hospital and entered a period of convalescence.

During my hospitalization, complications arose from the surgery and my hospital stay was extended, but I have now been discharged and am being treated for multiple complications.

I had originally planned to start working immediately after being discharged from the hospital,

but the burden of treatment unexpectedly increased.

I think I will be able to return to full-scale work as soon as the situation settles down.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

0.5% journey

Due to a 0.5% chance of anesthesia complications, I am unable to move from my bed and my hospitalization is being extended.

As predicted, it won't be easy.

I will be in the hospital for surgery

I will be in the hospital for surgery.

My guess is that this is a scenario where most of the problems will be resolved, but the issues I was concerned about will become clearer.

However, there is a history of terrible problems that were thrown into the mix just before we got here, so there will be times when those stale and easy predictions will be radically overturned.

Whether it works out or I go down a hard road, in any case, it is my destiny and I will go on to a complet...

Fresh Erect (Kohta Takahashi & Saruky Remix)

The vibes of this original song brought out my phrases from the 90s. This Remix is the result of such a miraculous encounter. I hope you all enjoy it!

You can freely choose which one to listen to or create.

When you immerse yourself in profound music, you can imagine the past and future floating side by side on the night sea. If you do sound design in that state, you'll likely create a song that fits that abyssal mood.

On the other hand, if we focus on the ``musical'' elements of music, the sound becomes filled with the joy of celebrating life. If you feel discouraged by daily life, you can gain the strength to fight back with joy.

This looks like fun.

Personal sound design

I feel like this is truly the era of sound design.

Mr. Haruomi Hosono has said this somewhere, but since EDM, the sound elements have been completely dismantled and rebuilt in the waveform, and if you just look at the sound image, the level is really high.

There is also a culture of EDM in Saara, where know-how is shared, perfected samples are shared, and truly anyone, even a toddler, a baby, or a cat can play the best kick drum or bass. That's the reality right now.
