“Under the Cedar Avenue” — A Quiet Short MV and a Gentle Tribute to Nikko Cedar Avenue

 I have released a quiet short MV titled “Under the Cedar Avenue.”

This piece is a small moment watched over by the world’s longest avenue of cedars,

known as the historic Nikko Cedar Avenue in Tochigi, Japan.

Through this MV, I hope to share a gentle glimpse of the calm beauty

that this ancient cedar avenue has carried for centuries.

If this short moment can inspire someone to discover or revisit Nikko Cedar Avenue,

that would make me very happy.

Chasing the Cherry Blossom Front & Miku Miku Bloom

The cherry blossom front, which began its journey across Japan in late March, is currently making its way through the northern regions.

Speaking of cherry blossoms, did you catch my previous post? I shared a song featuring Sakura Miku titled "Miku Miku bloom" (Miku Miku Sakura). It captures the same fleeting beauty of the season, so please give it a listen!

Cherry Blossoms & A New Beginning: A VOCALOID Love Song from Nikko

 Cherry blossoms are in full bloom across Japan in early April 2026. I am happy to announce that I’m restarting this blog!

I have updated my VOCALOID songs on YouTube with English descriptions and a fresh perspective. This particular track is a love song set in the Nikko Cedar Avenue, a beautiful World Heritage site. It captures the bittersweet yet warm emotions of pure, teenage love.
