Takehiro has previously created works themed around scenes such as travel.
For the past few years, he has mainly released albums and singles featuring nursery rhymes, animals, and songs targeted at families.
This latest release marks his first return to easy listening in a long time.
The album features 13 tracks from the many works of Takahiro Watanabe, paying homage to the greats of easy listening of the past, including his much-admired Paul Mauriat, Franck Pourcel, Caravelli, and Percy Faith. Two of the tracks are new, and some previously released songs have been re-arranged.
Elegant strings, nostalgic melodies, and light rhythms - this is a "long-awaited musical journey" dedicated to all lovers of easy listening.
Originally from Saitama Prefecture, he is a former school teacher (Japanese language). He began distributing music in 2017. He attracted attention with his 2018 collection of covers of Japanese nursery rhymes, and since then has focused on arrangements of nursery rhymes and school songs, comical animal-themed songs, and humorous original compositions. He also produces easy listening albums, a genre he has been familiar with since childhood. Influenced by masters of easy listening such as Paul Mauriat, Franck Pourcel, Percy Faith, and Caravelli, he is currently creating music that appeals to a wide range of generations.
