why we love this

With delicate layers of vintage synthesizers and generous acoustic space, Tatsuro pays homage to formative spaces left behind. This record takes melancholic turns through urban alleys, and brings us back to the light in the end.

about the cassette

Mita Koyama-cho offers a fresh perspective on today’s ambient music scene, blending acoustic and electronic elements into a rich, evocative soundscape. Tatsuro Murakami, a multi-instrumentalist, weaves together acoustic and jazz guitar, saxophone, fretless bass, and an array of keyboards—including vintage synthesizers, Mellotron, and acoustic piano. The result is a fusion of jazz, new age, folk, Brazilian music, and even 1970s progressive rock.

With an intuitive sense of melody and arrangement, Murakami layers warm cassette textures, vintage amp tones, and intricate string and saxophone orchestrations. Mita Koyama-cho is a deeply personal tribute to the musician’s family and the Tokyo neighborhood they once called home, demolished in 2024 due to corporate redevelopment.
