Takehiro's first new song in a long time was composed in early 2025, but this is the first time it has been performed. It is a nursery rhyme-esque, comical piece. "Omoshiroi Hitsuji" is literally a sheep, but I think it would be fun for you to listen and imagine what kind of sheep it is.
Born in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Piano and synthesizer player. Specializing primarily in composition, he worked as a school teacher (Japanese language) for one year before establishing WATATAKE Sound Co., Ltd. from 2013 to 2017. In addition to managing sound sources, he also handles production and video production. He signed a contract with Tunecore at the end of 2017 and began distributing his own music domestically and internationally. He gained attention with his 2018 collection of covers of Japanese children's songs, and since then, his activities have centered on arrangements of children's songs and folk songs, comical songs with animal themes, and humorous original works. He also produces easy listening albums, a genre he has been familiar with since childhood. Influenced by easy listening masters such as Paul Mauriat, Franck Pourcel, and Caravelli, he currently develops music that is popular with a wide range of generations. Recently, his animal-themed songs have become popular on social media. He is anti-AI and does not follow trends, creating all of his works by hand.
