Life can be tricky at times. Warnings and important news about life expectancy can be overlooked in the busyness of everyday life. If there is sadness, grief or anger, we should do our best to express it now. When all is said and done, you will be able to smile and talk.

What I discovered after tracing the old and new UK Garages was that the instruments had been replaced.
Just as music changed in the 1980s when rhythm machines and cheap synths became popular, 99% of the sounds I hear have been replaced by soft synths.
The remaining 1% is ha...

Find a new UK Garage, House that fits R4
When I made REIWA TYPE 4, 4.5, and V, I realized that my compositions were most inspired by the drama part of R4.
He created an emotional human drama by contrasting the fashion of the music of the time with the world of power and speed of car racing through the introduction of new cars and menu screens.
When I fantasize about a sequel or modern version of R4, I think it would be nice if the music would be centered around house or UK g...

This song is in the early stages of production and is a potential song for the next album.
I have a feeling that this song is going to have a fast tempo and a good groove, but as of now, I have no idea if I'm going to find something along this path or not.
I would like to announce this to the members, but I thought the sound of Armin van Buuren - Ping Pong was interesting, so I am developing this song from a cover of that song.
Some songs are triggered by a definitive idea, but sometimes that life is brought to me much later than expected, whether it's two seconds, two days, two weeks, two months, two years, or even 20 years. But in the meantime, I'm growing and my ideas are maturing. So it comes at a time that I can only see as fate.
So, some songs really take two seconds to come up with the ideas needed for the finished form, while other songs take two days, two weeks, two months, two years... and the...

Last night when I was talking about R4 music genres with everyone on X (Twitter), the most common keyword was jazz. My father was a bandmaster of a jazz band when he was young, while working in the corporate world. One of the reasons he broke up the band was probably because I was born. I have taken the liberty of living up to his musical baton. Even now, when I talk to him, I feel he is jazz itself. There is no doubt that his cells are made of jazz.
This is what Fabio said when DnB cam...

It's an absurd instrument name, but that's why you have to follow it by ear and not rely on textual information.

I don't have techno or house in my rhythmic roots, obviously breakbeats and rock, but that doesn't mean I don't have to study house. Studying other genres is beneficial for new perspectives and inspiration, and being influenced by a variety of genres allows for richer expression and greater survival.

This morning, I was struck by an earthquake while composing, which made me imagine.

This time, I will be presenting a song that has not yet been released and is still in production.
It starts out with a guitar sample, then a piano-driven dance tune, then a little Tekken-like riff, and so on...and so on...perhaps it will be split into two or three songs in the future.
I would like to hear from people outside of Japan who are here. What do you like among Japanese songs? How did you come to like them and why? 📀

I have been listening to the Megadeth album "Last in Peace" for 30 years.
I could clearly see in this performance that they use a completely jazz approach to both riffs and solos, and the solos are played with a more evolved enka approach.
Jazz approach notes, in essence, are notes that are played in advance of the original scale at a semitone or whole note, or, in guitar terms, at one or two fret positions shifted from the original scale.
