I often use photos and videos from Pixabay for my song thumbnails and YouTube videos. Since I was always the one using the materials, I wondered if there was something I could do to give back, and at one point I started uploading songs to Pixabay.

Ethereal, Japanese-style, and introspective piano solos are particularly popular. Additionally, my ethnic music-inspired pieces and charming, simple instrumental tracks have also been well received.

I now receive music usage reports from people all around the world, and warm messages of support have increased. It brings me immense joy to know that my music is helping someone in various parts of this vast world, where languages and cultures differ.

Furthermore, all the beautiful photos and artworks adorning this website are works by Edith Luethi, who shares her awesome creations on Pixabay. They are truly wonderful, so I encourage everyone to check them out.

傲慢の主はただ静かに畔で待っている
虚飾の盾、欺瞞の城、そのすべてを飼い慣らす者は
何れ静寂の野に溺れるであろう

The lord of arrogance waits quietly by the shore
The shield of vanity, the castle of deceit,
Those who tame them all
Will eventually drown in the fields of silence
