I really enjoy Junko Ozawa's odd beat played in the main background music of Klonoa.🍃 クロノアのメインBGMで奏でられる小沢純子さんの変拍子、とても楽しいです🍀
"Inquisitive Waltz" using that motif is dedicated to waltz. そのモチーフを使った「Inquisitive Waltz」はひたすらワルツに徹してます🎠

Reflections on composing "Welcome To Lunatea
As in the previous work, I was once again in charge of the BGM for the menu screen.
However, when work on Klonoa 2 began, I was in a state of physical exhaustion due to overwork from Ridge Racer V. I had to stop working on the music for a few days, and I was not able to finish it.
I was hesitant to even participate.
They convinced me that they needed me to be the one to write the music for the exciting ...

MSX Gradius 2 SCC sound source with FM and PCM sound sources added to the arrangement.
It is a very memorable song.
As mentioned here.
I was 15 years old in 1987 when I first encountered the SCC sound system.
The cram school I attended at the time lent me an MSX and a laserdisc, and I was more absorbed in Konami's GRADIUS 2, which I borrowed from a friend, than in my studies.
I was shocked by the stage structure that was packed with content despite the awkward 8-...

In this Youtube video, both FM and SCC sound sources are sounded while checking each part individually. What kind of tones are overlapped?
FM VERTEX, an album featuring FM sound sources by Japanese game musicians.
Message at the time of release
I grew up with FM music from computer and arcade games in the 80s and 90s, but my work was from PlayStation, so I rarely had the opportunity to face FM music professionally.At FM VERTEX, I felt a mixture of joy and nervousness a... 2022-03-18 14:05:07 +0000 UTC View Post

2022/3/4 RIDGE RACER V 22nd Anniversary! Euphoria (In-Progress Production) is now available on Bandcamp. The second track, "The Birth of Euphoria" is rather shocking, but it tells the true story of the moment Euphoria was born.(Focus on the bass phrase) Enjoy!

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the release of Ridge Racer V, so I am sending you one of my sketches from that time.
The filename "nrnr" means "norinori," which in English means "upbeat" or "In high spirits". This session was followed by several versions and eventually developed into two songs. What did they become...?
Patreon, Bandcamp and PixivFANBOX subscriptions share at least one exclusive song per month.

In order to release this month's exclusive song, I would like to take a survey from our members.
Please answer if you like.
What kind of music do you want to hear in the limited release?
I've tried to divide them into eras for now, but there are many different genres.
I would be happy to hear your requests. I will keep this in mind for future reference.
Of course, we also have "Chef's Choice"🙂

My music was offered to be released by the label,
No matter what, I couldn't sign the contract because it was published on Bandcamp and Youtube.
The lesson learned from this failure is that new songs will not be released.
My plan is this.
1 My new song X is completed
2 Submit new song X to another label
3 Limited release of new song X on support site. Not every song, but some songs will be shared later.

An American label was talking about releasing one of my songs.
I found out about it in a notification on my Macbook the day before yesterday.
It's been 21 years since 2001, when I sent demos to techno labels all over the world and got a contract.
I was not elated, nor did my body react to such a joyous occasion, and I was quiet and still.

This year, Kaze no Klonoa is set to return for an encore on its 25th anniversary.
Every day, Twitter is flooded with Klonoa fan art.
It was such a dreamy time to live for a while.
The same year, Ace Combat 2 celebrated its 25th anniversary.
My sense of the past had dulled to the extent that I happened to notice from a fan's comment that my full-fledged debut title was also celebrating its 25th anniversary.
I thought it would be great if I co...

I'm in the sketch stage of a house version of CHOOSE YOUR MACHINE.
The piano riff and the chords in the backing clash beautifully :)
So, it will never be released as is :D

Thank you very much for supporting Kohta's composing activities and Youtube video production!
Here, we can relax and talk as if we were in a club room, without worrying about outsiders.
In addition, depending on your rank, you can choose to listen to Kohta songs that will be released exclusively here, or a private school where you can ask questions about music production.
The other ranks are still in the idea stage, but let's enjoy the conversation together first.

This is Ableton Live Session Snapshot of the uniform experiment 2011-2012 A/W
The drums are created by layering the famous breakbeats, and the keyboard is Kohta Takahashi's favorite mda's free ePiano.
This track was also my job. If you listen to it until the second half, you will understand it well.
