Fortunately, more and more listeners want to feature my music on on-demand radio, which makes me so happy! Thank you so much for your continued support! To make it easier for everyone, I have created an airplay policy. Please take a look :) (This policy is provisional and may be updated) 1/4
Thank you! I’m glad you feel that way!:)
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind wishes!:)
Thank you!:) I can’t wait to share it with you :)
Thank you, that means a lot! I’ll do my best in these final steps!:)
Thank you for your comment! :)
Thank you for your comment! I’ll carry it with me on this journey:)
Thank you for your comment!:)
Thank you, I truly appreciate your patience! I’ll be back soon! :)
Thank you! I hope the finished work will excite you as well!:)
Thank you for your kind and poetic words!:)
Thank you for your comment!:)
Thank you for your kind words!:)
I'm entering the final stage of completing my album, so I will be stepping away from Bluesky for a little while. I expect to return sometime in September, and I truly look forward to having more enjoyable conversations about music with you then. Until that time, please stay well and take care!:)
Thank you so much! I’m honored to hear that! I’m really glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you! I feel the same way, and I truly understand. Just having someone listen to my music is already a blessing, but when someone actually buys my album, it feels like an even greater happiness. It makes me want to travel across countries just to thank everyone in person :)
Thank you,Emily-chan! I’m always thinking about how I can show my gratitude to everyone:)
Whenever possible,I want to hand my music directly to fans and thank you in person. It’s frustrating that I can’t do this because we live so far apart. If I release physical media,I’ll be sure to include extra value,bonus content that feels like meeting and talking face-to-face. Thank you as always!
When I was in an environment or among relationships that did not fit me, just thinking that I had to go through another day like that made me unable to get out of bed and unable to step out of the front door. Your heart is what matters most, so please, at your own pace, without forcing yourself.
Thank you! That’s so true! Especially in anime from the 90s, like Evangelion, the way summer is portrayed always carries such a strong emotional atmosphere. It really brings back that nostalgic, almost bittersweet feeling :)
Thank you for the comment!:)
Thank you! I'll make sure to take care and avoid heatstroke as these hot days continue :)
Thank you! I hope you’ll get the chance to try it someday. Wishing you a peaceful night as well!:)
Thank you! I really love soba with a rich dashi flavor, whether it’s served hot or cold. Shiitake and tofu are such a perfect choice!:) And it makes me want to add some tempura on the side too!:)
Thank you, Emily-chan! It’s a classic part of summer in Japan!:)
Thank you for the comment! It’s a scorching hot day today (37°C / 98.6°F) with not a cloud in the sky, so I’ll be sticking to the shade!:)
Thank you! These days I’ve cut back on caffeine, but I used to drink around 4 or 5 cups of coffee a day, so I completely understand the state of mind you mean... :)
Thank you! That’s wonderful. I’d love to move to where you are, too, haha. I really love the sound of waves and the rustling of trees, they enrich not only music but also daily life :)
Thank you! That’s so true. Sometimes, when I spend a day just vaguely absorbing whatever is in front of me like a device for input, I feel there’s a higher chance of gaining something I normally couldn’t!:)
By the way, hiyamugi (ひやむぎ, 冷や麦, 冷麦) are cold Japanese wheat noodles, thicker than somen and thinner than udon. They are rinsed in ice water and eaten by dipping into a savory soy-dashi sauce with toppings like scallions, ginger, shiso, and sesame.
This morning, while the sun hasn't fully risen yet, I'm eating hiyamugi and listening to chill house music. Listening to the cicadas' chorus echoing through town, I'm setting off on my bike, sunflowers at my side, on a small summer adventure to a shady park. May my body not melt like butter.
There are days when nothing comes to mind, and on those days,if I rush to produce something,I sometimes lose sight of my true feelings or my own music. So I make a point of genuinely enjoying the emptiness. If there were a waterfall right in front of me,I'd probably spend the whole day watching it.
Thank you for sharing!:)
Haha! I'm glad you liked it!:)
Thank you!:) I agree with you!:)
Your comment really made me smile, thank you!:)
Hahaha! Thank you! I totally get that feeling! Sometimes I just want to start a jam session without any instruments, right in the middle of the street !:)
The kid sitting next to me on the bus was singing different verses and choruses of nursery rhymes together, and it was cooler than any transition I’ve heard lately. It put me in such a good mood first thing in the morning. I believe age doesn’t matter when it comes to entertaining people with music.
Thank you so much! I value the people who support me right in front of me and focus on creating the music I truly love, rather than pushing myself to expand. In a way, that might be my strategy :)
Thank you for your comment! I hope you’ll have fun!:)
Thank you so much for sharing!:)
#PostsFromProsperityAve Bandcamp really is the best. Congrats!
It might be that the name reflects the idea of a pivotal moment that drives a song forward beyond simple repetition, encouraging listeners not just to hear it, but to understand its structure and intent. Of course, that’s only my speculation!:)
Thank you! I’m often amazed by the unique sound effects in manga, sometimes thinking, 'What a creative way to express that!' It might be one of the most wonderful things about language that such distinctive expressions help people who speak different languages connect with each other :)
I truly admire people who are so thoughtful and eager to learn, like you! I had no idea about the Kyoto School, but it sounds fascinating!:)
Thank you! 素晴らしいですね！僕も日本語以外で同じような体験を早くしてみたいです！:)
I wonder if the creator is just featuring the bands they like?:) When an artist is influenced by someone, and that person by someone else, and if I keep tracing it back, I might end up discovering the amazing artists you mentioned, or even ones I never knew about. What a wonderful chain reaction!:)
Thank you, too! I'm glad you liked it!
Just imagining it makes me excited! I’d be so happy if it comes true!:)
I discovered a YouTube channel called Middle8 that explains the background of famous music, and I’ve really enjoyed learning music history while studying English. Knowing the stories behind the songs lets me listen from a whole new perspective, which I absolutely love.
It’s about building a respectful connection, not just legal rights, since independent artists like me aren’t automatically covered by Live365 and usually give permission directly. 2/2
I understand Live365 covers the legal licensing, and I appreciate that. My policy asks for credit and prior notice mainly so listeners can find my work and I can keep track of where my music is featured. 1/2
As long as you comply with the policy, there will be no issues!
Thank you for letting me know. I just posted my policy for using my tracks, so if your request fits these conditions, it would be more than welcome :) bsky.app/profile/uret...

Thank you so much! The second album I’m working on has become just as dear to me as my first album. I hope it suits your taste!:)
Wow, that’s amazing! I don’t know anything about animation rendering, but it sounds so interesting! I really respect that you can create visuals like that yourself. I once installed Blender, but I haven’t had the time to start using it. I’d love to be able to make things like that someday!:)
Wow, that sounds amazing! I hope someday I can release enough artwork to cover an entire wall, too! Thank you for sharing!:)
Thank you for sharing! I'll check this out!:)
Wow! Thank you for sharing! I hope you’ve been enjoying my music!:)
Wow! It makes me so happy that you discovered my music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!:)
Thank you! I'm so glad you said that! It's wonderful that you were able to discover a way to spark your own inspiration without even realizing it, and I really respect that!:)
I’m really happy we can relate. Language learning truly is full of mysteries!:)
Thank you! It’s really encouraging and uplifting to know that you, too, have had the same experiences as me while learning a language beyond your first. The moment you finally understand something feels amazing, like a puzzle piece clicking into place!:)
Thank you! 共感していただけて嬉しいです！自分が第一言語である日本語を自然に会得したのが不思議なくらい、他の言語になると聞き取れなくて落胆することが多いですね笑 I’ll keep doing my best!:)
That's true!
That makes sense! I actually traveled to Beijing a long time ago and it was such a great experience, so I’ve been wanting to go back. Thank you for sharing, that’s really helpful!
Could you share why you think Mandarin is a better choice?
That’s great! If there are any phrases you want to learn or any Japanese you don’t understand, feel free to ask me anytime!
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
Thank you!One of the fascinating things about playing an instrument is that sometimes I suddenly find myself able to do something the next day that I couldn’t do at all the day before. Looking back,I realize how important it is to practice a little every day and how those small steps really add up:)
Thank you! That's awesome! I'm learning English too, so let's both do our best!:)
Thank you! I can only speak Japanese!:)
Watching movies in English reminds me of when I first started playing bass,suddenly hearing lines clearly and feeling discouraged. In other words,it’s tough now,but imagining where I could be in a few years makes it exciting. I hope to speak some English when I meet you all at my live show someday.
Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear! Your work contains ideas you’ve been developing for years, so I truly hope it reaches many people!:)
Thank you for sharing! Your label’s releases always inspire me. “In the Fishtank” is really unique as well!:)
Oh, thank you so much! I’m amazed by your passion for creating and putting your work out there. I see you’re using Pixelfed, how different is it from Instagram?:)
Wow! Thank you so much for explaining everything in such detail! This might be the beginning of my journey as a photographer!:)
Thank you too for your wonderful work! If I ever go to California, I’ll come see your live show! :)
It feels so magical and makes me so happy that we can share the same feeling in such a vast world!:)
Thank you! That's so nice! Balancing writing novels and making music sounds so fun, and it seems like they’d have a great synergistic effect on each other! By the way, I just found out a few days ago that you played a show at Shibuya Cyclone! Let me know next time!:)
Thank you! I wasn’t very familiar with cyanotype, but this inspired me to look it up! It’s really fascinating!:)
Thank you! You're involved in some really interesting activities! I'm writing this while listening to your song “Presence”! I found an interesting article through your link and plan to read more. I’ll do my best so that someday you’ll write about me too!:)
Thank you! That's such an interesting theme! It must be really fun to sell your work on Bandcamp as well!:)
Thank you! I'm so glad you can relate!:)
Oh wow! Your self-made video sounds really interesting! I’ll check it out later! Thank you!
Thank you! I was hooked from the very first note of the opening track! I’m definitely going to listen to the whole album!:)
Thank you! That sounds so exciting! I’m really looking forward to hearing it!:)
Yesterday I made two more demos and went to bed, but I realized that much of my daily motivation comes from the sense that my own creative work is progressing. Of course, listening to music is also important, but being able to produce something helps calm my mind the next day.
ベタベタしますよね！😂 Let's get through these humid days together!
Oh, thank you!:) I’ll be sure to check this out!:)
Thank you!:)
Thank you! That's great! I feel that your work has a distinctive touch, bold yet delicate, almost like ink wash painting. I hope you can achieve all your goals! :)
Wow! Thank you! I really admire people who can draw sketches that bring such vivid images to mind!:)
Thank you! What an amazing portfolio! It feels so immersive. I'm completely new to photography, but could I ask what kind of camera you use?:)
Oh, thank you! I’ll check out the site!:)
