Since leaving THE CHERRY COKE$ in 2014, Kōya Ogata has been steadily building up his career at his own pace, taking various approaches to music production, including participating in BiSH recordings and providing sound sources related to art and fashion.

In July of the same year, he released his second cassette, which was selected for the Apple's official playlist "Sound Bath" and reached the top of the charts in 6 countries and the top 10 in 14 countries.


The "Blank Space" series is an instrumental hip-hop album that samples only material from "Splice Sounds," a subscription-based sample music service.

This album consists of four tracks, "Ennui," "Z," "A Little Sunny Day," and "boring," which evoke the sky and people's feelings during the rainy season.
In addition to "Blank Space -vol.4-", the album includes vol.1-3 (1Q), which have already been distributed. Throughout the 16 songs, you can fully enjoy the unique worldview of the music while using the sounds that abound in everyday life, so please give it a listen.
