PROFILE

I have loved music since I was in junior high school, admiring MR. BIG and Steve Vai and started playing guitar. For some reason, I became fascinated by healing music in high school, fell in love with the world of healing music and chill-out music and started making music. I started the net label K-MUSICLIFE and launched a website at the same time. Started since 1999.

hoping that many people would get to know the music I created. In the late 1990s, I learnt programming (Perl) to create a noticeboard to listen to the voices of my fans, and set up a server (Turbo Linux) at home to run the board. In the early 2000s. The ability to build web servers, mail servers, VPN servers, and anything else was acquired here. Currently, PHP, Python, and JavaScript are my main focus.

I decided that it wasn’t enough to just create music, so I decided to distribute video as well, and in an age when there was no YouTube, I used RealPlayer and ASF (Advanced Streaming Format) to distribute my own music with video attached. played a YouTube-like role.

In the 2000s, YouTube appeared and the K-MUSICLIFE channel was launched. At a time when YouTube was not yet available in Japanese, I started distributing the sounds of nature and own music. Around 2012-2016, the channel became a worldwide phenomenon and was selected for Google NextUp 2012, a gateway to success for YouTube creators.

When it was at the top of the world rankings on YouTube.

I also got into recording nature sounds for distribution on YouTube, and recorded many nature sounds with own binaural microphone, which is a combination of silicon ears and condenser microphone capsule. At the time, I became quite a hot topic on YouTube and was interviewed by NHK.

They produced and released many music albums around this time: 2006 in mind, 2011 Water Place and 2014 Nature Flow. They can still be heard on YouTube, as well as on Spotify and iTunes.

Around 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, I launched the web media “Beauty Hokuriku”, which distributes tourist information on Kanazawa, my birthplace. I still remember that I operated the site by myself from content coverage, photography, historical exploration, site construction and everything else, and as of 2015, I had not achieved one million views per month on the verge. I see the limit of the potential of the content, Kanazawa, to not earn a million views.

At this time, we started to receive many requests for website production, and our work became more about website production and system construction than music. On the other hand, I also launched a number of web services, including RSS readers, the “Map Newspaper” service that reads newspapers from a map, and a service that allows you to read a map of the area of the school district (under the school) of a junior high school in Kanazawa, and many other locally based services.

It is because of this background that I is able to build servers, create websites, produce contents, and even produce music and videos.

Since around 2017, I have travelled to various places in the USA and Asia. I also visited many restaurants in Asia and began to think a lot about the charm of Asia and the meaning of Japan in Asia.

And then, due to the coronavirus that started in late 2019, the whole world and Japan started to shift towards digital, and the importance of digital started to be recognised, and I started to produce not only websites, but also online shops and business systems that improve the efficiency of many operations. Today, the company is commissioned to develop systems that make the most of AI services and IoT devices, web services that make the world a little more convenient, the launch of online shops, web content development and video production. As the company is based in Kanazawa, it also receives many consultancy requests from major blue-chip companies in the Hokuriku region.
