As a result of this first CD, he signed with Germany’s 99 Records and released the full album “o.m.u. / o.m.u.” He invited a diverse range of guests from Japan and abroad to record at his home. The album was released worldwide and he was invited to the large-scale Swiss jazz festival “JAZZ not JAZZ,” where he received high praise for his live performance and DJ skills. After temporarily leaving the music scene, he began working as a digital content creator, VJ, web director, and photographer. In recent years, he has resumed his music activities and has consistently released Psybient works on YouTube, Bandcamp, and other platforms. Today, in addition to music production, he is active in a wide range of fields, such as photography, video production, and art creation.
