Since it’s common in Japan to eat osechi for New Year, a tiered jubako box filled with auspicious foods, I’m heading out to buy the ingredients with my best friends - my gloves and scarf. The numbing cold has a sharp bite today, and it’s putting me in the mood for Nordic folk music and dream pop.

It’s now noon on the 26th in Tokyo. The record I bought recently keeps skipping, so I’m heading to the record shop to exchange it. Since it’s my last visit to a record shop this year, I’ll listen to a bunch of records while I’m there. Next year,I’d love to ask Santa Claus for a room full of records.

This will likely be my final Patreon blog post of the year. I wrote about an idea I’ve been thinking about for 2026, something I might be able to do as an extension of my music activities. Lately, I’ve started to wonder if I could host an online music festival myself. Please feel free to read it!:)

The “Radiology Report” cycle from this record gets into some interesting, new, exploratory territory from Ureterocele that I am really enjoying. I also just love the disconnect between how evil and dissonant his music is with what a nice wholesome dude he comes off as.

Highly Recommended! One of my favorites of 2025. 🤯

A sonic assault on the senses, in such a good way!

From now until 12:00 p.m. JST on December 26, you can stream the entire new album, Tube With Contrast Medium, along with my previous album, Left Renal Agenesis, on Bandcamp. It’s a small thing, but I hope it can be a little holiday gift for you. Happy holidays, with music in your day!

Even after years of making music, I discover new genres almost every day. Hearing how artists express themselves through those genres is incredibly inspiring. At the same time, it reminds me that I want to keep making music only I can make. My followers truly broaden my horizons. Arigatou as always.

A documentary about an 80-year-old man with no musical experience who formed Japan’s oldest “newcomer” rock band and performed at a shopping district event in Hatagaya, Tokyo. This is the video of him finally taking the stage. It reminded me once again that the essence of music isn’t about money.

Sounds like a lovely morning. #Mixtape #CassetteTapeLove

It’s just past 7 a.m. in Tokyo. I’m wearing a UNIQLO fleece jacket, drinking warm water, and writing this. I’m playing a mixtape with various genres that I made last winter on my boombox, having a conversation between myself from a year ago and myself now. Music always connects us across time.

The other day I went to the hospital for my annual checkup. I arrived a few hours early and was working in the hospital café when a Christmas gospel concert by the staff choir began. It was such a wonderful moment. The music fell softly like snow, and it felt like an early Christmas present.

Sometimes, things I couldn't figure out no matter how much I thought about them became clear the moment I took action. Even with music, when composing, I couldn't grasp the whole picture,but once I made a demo, things started to come into focus. I’ve vowed to start in 2025 what I want to do in 2026.

Something that has always gone smoothly can, one day, be shaken by a small mistake, and I may start blaming myself for not being perfect anymore. But I believe we are beautiful precisely because we are imperfect. I think that might be the quiet charm of playing music through improvisation each time.

Anyone even remotely into outsider music rooted in industrial absolutely needs to check out @ureterocele.bsky.social & his upcoming album Tube With Contrast Medium. 15min of audio assault held together with expert bass grooves & crunchy rhythms interspersed between (cont.)

What I start today will, by tomorrow,already be something I started yesterday. In three months it may be a habit,in a year part of my daily life,and one day a quiet support for someone else. So I keep enjoying the music in front of me today and hope it will also make the person I am tomorrow happy.

Thank you so much for sharing, @suburbandeathmarch.bandcamp.com ! :) I feel truly honoured that you choose to listen to my music in the everyday moments of your life. It makes me so happy to know that you’re enjoying it! :)

Just listened to this album on my morning commute and it’s absolutely bonkers in the best way. Heavy glitchy unpredictable beats, weird avant garde soundscapes, gritty bass. Do yourself a favor and give @ureterocele.bsky.social a spin! #musiciansky

As with the previous album,the last 3 tracks are loop-based and beat-driven on my new album. In “Radiology Report p.1”,I sampled the koto sound from track four, turning it into a kind of modern Japanese track as a small expression of gratitude and respect to followers who enjoy Japanese culture. 1/2

This is a lovely song from @ureterocele.bsky.social

Thank you so much for sharing, @jelbugle.bsky.social !:) I’m truly honoured that an album I love so much can be something you and other followers enjoy as well. It really makes me happy that you took the time to listen to it!:)

#BandcampFriday @bandcamp.com

Since I started working as Ureterocele, I’ve just had my first interview. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to @poolplants.bsky.social for kindly changing it to a text-based interview for me because I can’t speak English. Thank you so much!:) If you’re interested, please check it out!

Out now, an interview with @ureterocele.bsky.social ! I've enjoyed both the music and the posts for a while now and it was really great to talk to him and learn more about his musical background and recording process.

The snare drum sound in the blast beat on track 4 of my new album is the sound of the trash can’s metal rim hitting the floor when I accidentally knocked it over in my room. I liked that sound so much that I sampled it. Moments like that remind me how random sounds can open up new paths in my music.

I’ll check it out. Is there a #bandcamp Friday with month?

Thank you so much, @florgoth.bsky.social !:) I’m so happy that my album was chosen as one of your recommendations. It’s always an honor to receive your support!:)

#JustListened The new album by @ureterocele.bsky.social is out! A fascinating cacophony that's interwoven with complex bass-grooves. It starts very harsh and grating and mellows out towards the end, introducing warmer, gentler sounds. It makes me think of healing, recovery. Highest recommendation!

Thank you for sharing, @themolluskk.bsky.social !:) The reviews I received during the pre-order period also made me truly happy. It’s always an honor that you take the time to listen to my music!:)

Don't hesitate! Go check out his fantastic new album!

Thank you so much, @poolplants.bsky.social !:) It’s truly an honor to receive a comment like this that crosses genres. The way you used Primus and Looney Tunes as an analogy really got me excited! Most of all, I’m just really happy you took the time to listen :)

I guess I'll be the first to post about this excellent new album from @ureterocele.bsky.social ! It's just as crushing and deep as the last one but this time there's some real zany stuff in here too! I kept thinking Primus meets Looney Tunes in an industrial factory... Interview coming soon!

Thank you so much, @secretchimp.bsky.social !:) Thanks to everyone’s support, I was able to reach release day today. Receiving a comment like this really makes me feel so glad I decided to release this album!

My second album has officially been released on Bandcamp today! Thank you so much for all the support and interest you’ve shown since the pre-order stage. I think you’ll be able to enjoy a slightly different side of my sound compared to the first album, so I hope you’ll enjoy it!:)

I try not to be greedy about life, love, money, self-expression, or time. I focus on the people and things right in front of me, and in my free time I enjoy music. I won't neglect the smiles that are already here just to chase some dream. I'm sure it's this environment that fuels my passion for art.

My YouTube channel has just passed 100 subscribers! Even though I haven’t been uploading new videos very often, thank you so much for your support! I’m thinking about how I can create content on YouTube that conveys my music more deeply. So please take it easy and wait for it!:)

Just the other day I mentioned that I had gastroenteritis,but a few days later I caught the flu and needed to rest for a while. I’m fully recovered now, so I’m back on Bluesky. II’m choosing to see it as a kind of internal update period for my body. Now I’m cleaning my room while listening to music.

Now that’s ‘living in the moment’ - I could feel what you were experiencing 🙏

I’m in Tohoku now. Outside, it’s snowing and about -3°C (22.6°F). I’m feasting on wild mountain vegetables, local fish, and wonderfully sweet local fruit, listening to folk music, and doing nothing but gazing at the scenery. It feels like giving all five of my senses a warm bath in beautiful things.

Wow! Thank you so much for this wonderful review, @themolluskk.bsky.social !:) I’m so happy and grateful for your wonderful words. And more than anything,I’m truly honored that you listened to my music! This is the 1st in-depth review of my 2nd album, I hope everyone will take a moment to read this!

Whenever I catch myself thinking,“If I could create and sell music-related devices or merch like this, I could probably make a ton of money,” I remind myself I’m first and foremost an artist making the music that goes inside them. Moments like that make me smile and realize I’m not a businessperson.

Yesterday I came down with gastroenteritis and spent the whole day in bed, couldn’t even listen to music. My apologies to my followers who left comments and haven’t received a reply yet. When I recover, my body always feels reset, and I end up feeling positive, as if the downtime was time I needed:)

I believe those before us created technology and music, whether for themselves or for someone else, and if my own expression can naturally become part of that same chain, then I don’t feel the need to look too far into the future; I just want to be sincere with the person right in front of me.
