Takashi Asahina Beethove

The Japanese approach to sound is all encompassing - fictional characters, brands, ideas, even inanimate objects like printers and whiskey have their own theme tunes and original music created specifically for them. This is referred to as an "image album", an audio impression designed to give a multi-sensory experience.
In 1987, Japanese composer and environmental sound designer Takashi Kokubo was enlisted to create the music for a new line of high-end air Sanyo air-conditioners. Though his name might be unfamiliar, alongside his anime soundtracks and avant-garde projects, Kokubo has also crafted music that has impacted virtually all of Japan, from national mobile phone earthquake alerts to contactless card payment jingles.

WRWTFWW Records is very happy to present a new collaborative album by Japanese ambient/environmental legend Takashi Kokubo (Ion Series) and Italian & Swiss trombonist Andrea Esperti (Esperti Project): Music For A Cosmic Garden.

Takashi Kokubo is a Japanese ambient musician. He produces healing music that gently resonates with people's hearts…

Classical / Renaissance / Vocal / Lute

Mutsumi Hatano and Takashi Tsunoda began performing the lute songs of John Dowland together in 1990, and since then have never failed to enrapture audiences with their unique combination of Mutsumi's clear, expressive voice and the delicacy of Takashi's lute accompaniment, overflowing with emotion. In addition to the Dowland songs and other old English songs, their repertoire spans the renaissance to the baroque, including Italian madrigals, French air de cour and Spanish songs with vihuela accompaniment, and to each a new charm and vitality is introduced.
