Hi from Oakland CA found you on the website Radio Garden. I’m an experimental visual artist and musician and found reprieve in your music selection for a few hours today. Thank you for the good vibes <3 looking forward to adding your station into my rotation!
Wow, I love the new album. The Kamo River song really helped me cope with the recent death of my younger brother. I love your music !!! Many blessing to you all. – Eugene
You’re wonderful music truly helped me through the COVID-19 pandemic after I lost my mother, a brother, and a close friend. I wish you and your family’s many blessings and a vacation to Kyoto City.
Have sent your several notes/emails. Would love to discuss making my readers/listeners of my podcast aware of your music, but I don’t want to do this without your permission.
I’m aware of your music because of 3030 Deathwar Redux and I must say your music was a big part of my enjoyment of the game. I’m still playing the game, flying around the galaxy and listening to really nice music.
Stumbled across you by pure chance on Radio Garden, looking for authentic Argentinian tango, But the name seemed interesting and I can go for electronica/ambient and Japanese minyo. (I started out looking for something out of Okinawa, without luck!)
I discovered Kyoto 2020 on Youtube. Setsuko’s Smile helped me cope with the loss of family and friends before and during the global pandemic. I’m a fan of your music for life now. Thank you for your musical gifts.
I also know from 3030 Spacewar Redux 😉
There´s nothing comparable to leaving the space station with “Take on me” and rushing through space!!!
AWESOME!!!
More 80´s synthwave PLEASE!!!
I’ve read that people who use more than one exclamation mark don’t attach much importance to their own statement.
Mmmmhhh. I´ll think about that.
AND YOU DO MORE 80´s SYNTHSTUFF!!! Thank you
Thanks for your passionate assemblage of all things related to the venerable Roland D50/D550! We had a beautiful D50 in a computer store that I managed in 1991. It was my first contact with a real synthesizer. I used to tool around on it for hours. I don’t own one yet, but I will own one, one day!
I maintain a not-for-profit Mac freeware reference on Blogger at the URL freeware.rocks and I’m going to post about your projects soon, promise!
Hi Glenn! Thank you so much for your comment! Roland D-50 is probably the “soul” of our sound palette. We love it and we’ll use it in our compositions forever! All the best!
I just wanted to say, thanks, for all your hard-work and passion. Its definitely something that has shone through in all your work.
I’ve been to Japan once before some 9 years ago and it was a truly great trip. Going back to climb Mt. Fuji is definitely on my to-do list.
When I was a kid, Japan felt like this mysterious, far off place so different from what I was familiar with; A certain je ne sais quoi that captivated me.
Please keep up the good work. I hope that you enjoy time in Japan.
Hi Ryan! Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our music. We too have a special connection with Japan, although we still didn’t have the chance of going there. We’ll go for sure, and climbing Mt. Fuji (and maybe playing some music from there?) is definitely on our to-do list.
Thank you so much for your music – you guys have no idea what it means to me! I have never been to Japan in my life – but all I need to do is put my headphones on, close my eyes, and tune in to your music – and suddenly I’m transported to Hokkaido, with all my worries seemingly going away. It’s really magical, and I look forward to Postcards II!
P.S. Can’t control my nostalgia overflowing as a result of your website design 🙂
Hi Aniket! Thank you so much for your warm words… we’re tuned into the same feeling. Hopefully we’ll have the chance to travel to Japan soon and reveal the magic 🙂
PS: Regarding Postcards II… we’re currently working on it. I’ll happen soon!
Postcards is a work of genius!!!
Right up there with Hiroshi Yoshimura and other Japanese ambient greats.
How do you not have CDs or Vinyl?
This is excellent, one-of-a-kind music being made today!
ho scoperto da poco il vostro gruppo, e da appassionato di musica elettronica e giappone devo dirvi profondamente grazie per la vostra musica profondamente delicata, ampia, a volte malinconica….come il cielo di una giornata di settembre dove le nuvole corrono veloci e si rincorrono col sole.
Sto provando anche a suonare le vostre melodie con l’handpan e i flauti NAF: mi danno un profondo senso di appagamento.

Hi Giovanni, thank you for your warm and kind words. We’re so glad you’re enjoying our music! And thank you for your support on out future trip to Kyoto too!
Huge thanks for the music which is appreciated. Please do carry on. I’ll make a donation for the trip soon too. Best wishes to fellow Japanese music fans in Argentina from Nottingham, UK.
Really great stuff. You’ve captured IT, whatever that IT really is, I don’t know, but it has soul.
I’d like to play some on my radio show in Salem, OR. The Crazy Alien Mass Transport Express is an electronic show, from Berlin School and moving forward.
Thanks for such great music, hice una pequeña donacion me hubiese gustado dejar mas pero tengo medios limitados. El hecho de que pongais la música gratis es lo que me hizo dar ese paso extra y donar por vuestro trabajo. Tal como una madre orgullosa podéis estar seguros que he escuchado vuestro album “postcards” al menos 200 veces. Un abrazo muy fuerte y muy buena continuación !!
Hola Pablo! Muchísimas gracias por tus palabras de aliento, estamos muy contentos de saber que estás disfrutando de Postcards. Recibimos tu donación y no te imaginas lo mucho que nos ayuda en nuestro camino por llegar a Kyoto. ¡Estamos muy agradecidos!
(¡te enviamos un enlace con toda nuestra disgrafía para que la disfrutes!)
Thank you so much for your kind words Stan! We’re very happy you are enjoying our music.
Compiling all our material in loseless files will take some work, and it’s something we could will do in the future. If you have a favorite album that you’d like to listen in a loseless format, let us know!
I’ve been listening to your amazing work for a couple of years now. First time I heard your songs was through a game, 3030 A Space Odyssey. And then I fell in love with all your songs… Que puedo decir, ‘The best days of my life’ y ‘Take on me’ son dos de mis canciones preferidas en mi vida. Como cuarentón friki que soy, vuestra música me hace muy muy feliz. Sólo espero poder veros algún día en directo 😉
Hi Nacho! Thanks for your comment! Many people discovered our project thanks to 3030 A Space Odyssey and we are very grateful to the developers of the game not only for considering our music for the game, but also for being really big supporters on our campaign to get to Kyoto.
Known about your band since Deathwar2020redux. Played it over an year ago but still listen to your songs now. Just saw the new online radio, it’s amazing. Stay safe.
Love your songs since deathwar 2020, how are you guys holding up with the pandemic? Has it killed or inspired creativity?
The recent parody songs are popular in my household currently.
Cant wait to hear more of your songs.
Hi Lyshian! Glad to know that you’re enjoying our music. What can I say about this pandemic… when the chance to travel to Kyoto for the first time finally arrived… pandemic appears! It was devastating news for us, we where so excited! So, yes, our plans will have to be redefined and meanwhile we will continue to do music, and share what we love with the world.
Thank you for asking! Be safe, all the best for you and your loved ones!
Cant leave glasses guy hanging without a comment. Thank you for the music, but also thanks for the nostalgia trip back into the era of small personal websites.

Absolutely love postcards! Its one of the few albums I can listen to while I work and is super chill 🙂
Be sure that if it was ever released on vinyl, I would buy it in a second
Keep it up!
Thank you Jim! We have a vinyl release scheduled in a near future and it’s codename is “Postcards II” 🙂 Hope you’ll like it!
Listening to Postcards for a while now, yet i only discovered your website just today when reading the bio.
Entering your website, it feels like a travel back to the 90’s where is used to code a lot of html myself.
Loving those frames and lo-res pics and like Postcards it feels much like a memory from a distant past or maybe a time capsule of some sorts.
The Penguin Powered logo ticks another box so had to leave a comment.
I hope you guys will be able to visit Kyoto soon!
Thank you for your kind words! Welcome to our world 🙂
Amazing work, can’t get enough. Please keep it up! Also i got so much enjoyment from the website 🙂
sending love from Ireland!
Thank you Chris! So glad you like our music and our website. Hopefully 2022 will find us releasing a lot more songs! Cheers!

Hey, I like your music to relax and to get into a nice focus tunnel while working for Uni. Thanks!
Love, Max
Hi Max! So happy to know that our music helps you focus on your projects! Thanks for writing!
Thank you so very much for your music, it’s so inspiring. I use to draw and whenever I need to get into a deep-thought-focused state.
I love that your repertory is so wide, with songs for moments when I’m up and moments when I’m down.
I heard many of your songs a good thousand of times across the years, so thank you so much for all your art.
PS the web site looks awesome 🙂
Hi Dam! Thank you so much for your comment. We love working with different genres… “changing our hats” is a very creative way of approaching music!
Glad you liked the new website! We’re enjoying so much the interaction with you all! Hope to see you often around here!
I’ve been listening to your amazing work for a couple of years now. First time I heard your songs was through a game, 3030 A Space Odyssey.
