"Ano Koro" is reimagined with a new Neo City Pop arrangement.
A seaside road, a sepia-toned afternoon, and memories of "you" and "me" resurfacing across the passing seasons. While preserving the warmth, nostalgia, and quiet melancholy of the original, this new version reshapes the song with a more polished urban groove and a richer, more colorful sonic palette.
Maj9th chords and other extended harmonies bring a soft sense of warmth and suspension, while the rhythm stays light and understated, creating a gentle flow rather than pushing too hard. The aim was to create something nostalgic without becoming purely retro - a sound that seems to drift somewhere between the past and the present.
At the heart of the song is a quiet longing for those days when we thought we understood everything, while in truth knowing almost nothing.
(Dedicated to Flipper's Guitar.)
A track for late-afternoon drives, reading, quiet evenings, or simply taking a moment to look back.
Vocals on this track were created using Synthesizer V AI Ayame.
Music that gently keeps you company on days when it's hard to be honest with yourself. Grounded in 70s-90s Japanese pop, I create genre-fluid music that weaves together elements of City Pop, Neo-Acoustic, Funk, and Jazz at times expanding into full orchestral and big-band arrangements. My sound features nostalgic melodies with a subtle, unexpected twist, paired with lyrics that offer a philosophical perspective. While vocals are primarily powered by Synthesizer V AI Ayame, I also step behind the microphone myself on select tracks.
