I started thinking about making videos of my DJing through experimental music. I think it might be more enjoyable if I can use my followers' music in those videos, because it might help convey their music to more people. I just want to make videos where I can recommend music that I like.

There are things I can only learn through failure,regret,pain,or illness. Over the past few days,I’ve truly realized how grateful I am to be able to listen to the music I love and make music. It’s felt like an update for both my mind and body. And to everyone I’ve been slow to reply to,I’m sorry!

This is my first English post that I wrote without a translator. I'm listening and watching English clips on YouTube, checking the words I didn't know and putting them on(or into?) a flashcard app. This reminds me as(or of?) I picked some bass lines up from music by my ears(ear?), without scores.

I wrote a bit about what’s been on my mind lately. - A musician I happened to meet at a music bar - How limited my English still is - I’m not good at face-to-face communication - My own community - Thinking about starting a label? - Maybe I’ll start working under my real name and showing my face?

I really love the concept of “circulation” when it comes to people. I buy clothes from companies that recycle and collect items I no longer wear, and I've indicated my wish to be an organ donor. And I love music, the way I can absorb inspiration and give it back to others through my own expression.

Actually,I’m currently planning to host a Ureterocele live stream using Bandcamp’s Live feature. I’m still deciding whether it will be broadcast live or presented as a pre-recorded stream,and whether an archive will be made available,but if you’re interested,I’d be delighted if you could join me!:)

A generous offer. Exploring both works sounds like a compelling journey.

Please support this artist on Bandcamp. The only music site that actually pays musicians what they are worth.

Closing out this #BandcampFriday with @ureterocele.bsky.social 🎧 Their album Left Renal Agenesis is a deep, compelling listen. Definitely worth your time and support! Check it out: #Ureterocele #Experimental #NewMusic #BandcampFriday

Starting today and running through March 11 (JST), if you purchase this 2nd album released by Off and don’t already own my 1st album, Left Renal Agenesis, I’d be happy to offer you a free download code for the 1st album! If that sounds like you, please feel free to let me know in the comments!:)

Japan’s seasons can be divided into seventy-two sub-seasons. This concept originated in China, and I really love the idea that the seasons move through such subtle, almost imperceptible changes. It reminds me that someone’s music, or how we feel on any given day, can still matter in the world.

I'm eating a salad with beans,sesame seeds, and wakame, miso soup with shiitake and taro, brown rice, and drinking bancha while listening to Meitei’s Kwaidan and thinking about today’s schedule. I’m reminded of how deeply food and music can influence each other. The music is echoing through my body.

In Japan, we have an expression that means “earning it with your feet,” getting results by showing up in person. I believe that even in a digital world, record stores and live venues offer experiences I can’t get anywhere else, and they always feed back into my music. I love things that take time.

March begins today in Tokyo. As if to celebrate,this Sunday brought a sky as clear and blue as the seas of Okinawa. I’m currently working on a small project outside of my album, so today I’m heading to a tea specialty café to get some work done. Cheers to the music, with a rooibos tea latte in hand.

Hearing that about music I truly enjoyed creating makes me incredibly happy and honored, it feels like sunlight pouring in from the ceiling of my little two-meter room! Thank you so much for listening, @elvha.bsky.social !:)

For me, the moment I truly feel the year ending isn’t December 31st. It’s right now, after finishing my tax return. Before spring arrives, I let sakura bloom in my heart a little early and treated myself to a Starbucks sakura matcha donut. And this is the music I’m listening to right now.

I can vouch how pleasant light rain is in Tokyo. I could live there.

Light rain is falling in Tokyo right now. The city is quiet like an opera hall, evoking a sense of wabi-sabi. In moments like this, I often feel Japan's unique charm, which also has a positive influence on my music. Today, I might go to a Japanese-style garden and have some green tea in the rain.

Really enjoying the combination of compactness and messiness in these industrial/noise miniatures.

One reason this became a re release rather than a new release is that many of you have enjoyed this album. If an artist I supported had a favorite self-released album reissued by a label,I’d be thrilled,and I felt this could be a small way to give something back to everyone who’s supported my music.

Get it now, and read about it while you listen!

Excellent news!!

Today is the official re-release day for my second album, Tube With Contrast Medium, now on the Belgian label Off’s Bandcamp. The bonus track is exclusive to their Bandcamp and is not available on streaming services. I hope you enjoy it! I’m grateful for the chance to share this with you:)

Dear followers, I’m truly honored to share this news with you all. My second album, “Tube With Contrast Medium”, has been signed for a re-release with Belgium-based label "Off", and will be out tomorrow, February 20, on Off’s Bandcamp. It will also be available on all major digital platforms. (1/3)

I believe that objective reasoning alone cannot move my heart, yet I also believe that subjective feelings alone cannot resolve matters. What matters is staying close to my own subjectivity while objectively reflecting on it. Working my walks into my music making is part of that constant cycle.

A while ago,I wrote something similar, but I believe that whenever I start something new,challenges,questions,and anxieties naturally arise along the way. Even so,I trust that moving through that process deepens my music and strengthens my words. Overthinking small things is actually a good thing.

A while back, I asked my followers for Japanese music recs. About 80% were completely new to me. It reminded me how much my perspective shifts when I step outside my own frame of reference. It was a really valuable experience. So today, I’m sharing a few of my Japanese music picks here on Patreon.

Even if what I go through today feels cold, I believe the music I create from it can warm someone’s heart. When I think of it as part of the process, even rainy days don’t feel so bad. The sun always shines brighter after the rain. I love how music connects people across eras and generations.

Yesterday, Tokyo saw a rare snowfall. I walked outside, breathing warm air onto my numb hands while listening to the street soul I've been hooked on lately through my headphones. Another memory settled into my playlist. Sometimes, the memories tied to music transcend the seasons.

I’ve been watching long-mix videos on YouTube, then building similar playlists on Apple Music (since my gear is synced with it for personal use) to practice mixing in their flow. It feels like I’m back in my musical youth, practicing bass. If you have any videos you’d recommend, please let me know!

@ureterocele.bsky.social Ureterocele plans on making a donation from this years sales to the Medical University Tokyo, Department of Urology. ureterocele.bandcamp.com/music

I will be checking this all out over the weekend

I definitely find value in sharing my own work, but I equally love sharing the music that inspires me. Here are a few souvenirs from my recent musical journey to Seoul. I hope you'll enjoy this experimental and dark music! I’d love to go on another music journey soon:) 1/2

All of us here are different. We have different personalities, living environments, genders, ages, first languages, jobs, ways of thinking, and strengths and weaknesses. And yet we’re connected through music, and we respect each other. I think that’s enough, that's so cool, that's so lovely. 1/3

I've purchased my first all-in-one DJ system and started mixing, long influenced by all of you on Bluesky. Using an expression I learned from @nhyrvana.bsky.social, I want to enjoy quilting by cutting up existing cloth and stitching it into a new blanket. I'm embarking on a new musical journey.

Before I knew it, January had ended, and the seasons were slowly beginning to prepare for spring. Under a blue sky that makes me want to listen to a downtempo mix on the rooftop, I take a walk and think about my music for this year. There's so much I want to write, but I'll let the wind decide when.

I’m on a musical journey via Radio Garden, which I posted about recently. There are so many stations worldwide that play nothing but experimental music, and it’s been a real culture shock. I don’t think I could experience this in Japan and I feel lucky to live in a time with opportunities like this.

This year as well, I donated the same amount as last year to the Department of Urology at the medical university affiliated with a hospital in Tokyo, using the profits from my 2025 Bandcamp sales. Thanks to the support of each of you, I was able to contribute again. I’m sincerely grateful.

I discovered an app called Radio Garden, and I've been listening to radio stations from around the world while I work. Today I listened to Energy in Berlin, YLE in Helsinki, Bel RTL in Belgium, and WHTZ in New York. If you have any radio station recommendations, I'd love to hear them! radio.garden

When I push forward with something, worries and anxieties never really stop. But one day, I’m sure I’ll be able to tell my past self, thank you for worrying back then. I believe it matters to dwell on even the smallest things. But I think it matters even more to keep believing in my own music.
