AKARI VOL.Ⅲ: A Story Reposted on the Owner’s Blog

Original Blog Reposted on the “Owner’s Blog”

AUG 30, 2026

As part of the website move, I’ve reposted a blog article originally published on the former “CHIAI’S WEB” in 2024, about the day I first met Damon from Tsunami Sounds in Shibuya.

It’s a record of how a connection that began online through my participation in AKARI VOL.Ⅲ eventually led to meeting in person in Japan.

My conversation with Damon that day also inspired me to start blogging at the time, and eventually led to what is now the “Owner’s Blog.”

Chill Compilation “AKARI VOL.Ⅲ” Released & Join

SEP 27, 2024

I was invited by Damon Broussard of Tsunami Sounds🇺🇸 to take part in the third installment of the compilation series.

For my contribution, I explored the theme of autumn and the meeting of Japanese cities and nature, imagining a quiet place to pause in a back alley away from the main street. I created a soft acoustic folk beat that brings a sense of nature into the midst of the city.
