I got eye drops.I am not good with eye drops. I still can’t get them in my eyes properly by myself. I don’t mean to be blind, but they don’t go in my eyes anyway. I get hit around the eyes.So I always hit it a lot and manage to hit it. It’s a very lazy way of doing it. These eye drops are from Street Fighter 2. It seems to make me better at the game. There is also a SF2 picture on the box.

recorded guitar and ukulele.
I recently recorded guitar and ukulele.The client came from Tokyo and we recorded in Okinawa for the first time in a while. Due to the effects of the new coronavirus, I have had fewer opportunities to be present at recordings. However, now Japan is back to normal.I am glad that I will have more opportunities to be present at recordings from now on. I will announce more details when this song is released.
New Challenges
Over the past 10 years or so, I am happy to say that my music is now reaching people outside of Japan.It is thanks to STEAM and YOUTUBE. I would like to make music for games in countries other than Japan. So far, I have made BGM for Skullgirls in the US and sound effects for Indivisible, but it would be interesting to make music for genres other than action games.
I am enjoying Street Fighter 6.
I’ve been playing Street Fighter 6 a lot since it was released this month, in SF5 I used Abigail as my character, in SF6 I use Zangief. In SF2 I used Zangief as my main character. In SF3 3rd I was using Hugo. I also used Hugo in USF4. I’m in platinum class now, and will train to be master class or better in SF6. I always use bigger characters. I like Zangief, but I hope they will add a bigger character in SF6.

Airpods max is utilized.
These days, I use Airpod max to check my music on my mobile. The noise cancellation feature is very good and allows me to concentrate on my work. With macbook and airpod max, I will be able to do serious music production on mobile. To do this, I need to get used to using a DAW with the screen size of a laptop PC. This is difficult, but once you get over it, you will be able to make music anywhere.
I highly recommend CUBASE 12.
I have been using CUBASE for music production for about 20 years now. A dongle is like a key to start an application; to start CUBASE, you had to insert a dongle, which is like a USB memory stick, into your PC.Nowadays, most PCs are notebooks. Compact and thin PCs have few USB ports. But I don’t like to have one port occupied by a dongle, and I don’t like to attach a USB hub. And this dongle can cause all kinds of trouble.Lose it, misplace it somewhere, fail to recognize it, break it, etc. Who is this key for? It is for the manufacturer to prevent unauthorized copying. I,… Continue reading I highly recommend CUBASE 12.
I quit teaching at a vocational school.
I taught game sound at a vocational school for five years.However, I couldn’t feel the passion of the students and decided to quit teaching. Vocational schools in Japan are not places to learn expertise, but places where young people who don’t want to go out into the world go reluctantly. Nevertheless, I thought I could be useful by conveying the fun of game creation. However, I did not find it rewarding. If you really like games and want to make them, you don’t need to go to school to start making them yourself. It doesn’t mean that if you go to school you will be able to make games. I… Continue reading I quit teaching at a vocational school.
I bought KOF15.
I bought KOF15 from SNK.SNK went bankrupt at one time, but I’m glad they are back now and have released new Samurai Spirits and KOF games. I especially like the music, with its unique SNK guitar sound. Also, in Samurai Spirits, they used the environmental sounds well in the game, which was awesome. However, I am not a fan of SNK’s games. I will take my time to practice and enjoy the music. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1498570/THE_KING_OF_FIGHTERS_XV/
Noise-canceling earphones and headphones
On a daily basis, I use noise-canceling earphones and headphones with my laptop and iPhone.The earphones are Sony’s WF-1000XM4 and the headphones are AirPods Max.I use the AirPods Max for spirited music work and the WF-1000XM4 when I’m out walking. One of the best things about using noise cancellation is that when I use earphones in noisy places, I tend to turn up the volume to make it harder to hear. However, with noise cancellation, the noise is reduced to a very low level, so there is no need to turn up the volume even in noisy places. In my job as a music producer, my ears are very important,… Continue reading Noise-canceling earphones and headphones
