Ethereal Jazz: Waltz For Life Will Born by Uyama Hiroto
Uyama Hiroto and Nujabes are fantastic instrumentalists and do a great job incorporating different instruments, melodies and genres to create music. The saxophone (or clarinet) is the stand out instrument in Uyama Hiroto's 'Waltz For Life Will Born', and theres something really enticing hearing the saxophone play jazz notes whilst in the chaotic background, the hi-hats brighten and give life to the track! Released in 2008, this track can be...

Kenichiro Nishihara: Lo-Fi That Speaks To The Heart
During the pandemic, Lo-Fi was listened to more than ever thanks to YouTube live videos making hours worth of content. Lo-Fi is relatively simple to make and compromises of genres like jazz, hiphop, soul and chill-out music.

The first song I listed to by him was 'my leaving' and I instantly liked the instrumental but, also...
Exploring The Timeless Soundtrack of Samurai Champloo (2004)
Over the holiday period, I treated myself to Samurai Champloo (anime) hoodies since I love the show so much. Samurai Champloo is in my opinion, one the best anime out there, released in 2004. The show delves into the journey of Jin, Mugen and Fuu who go on a journey to find Fuu's father. Not only do I love the characters and storyline of the show but, also the music as well. The soundtrack and the original songs from the anime standout from the...
