In 2019 I had the chance to travel to Tokyo for 10 days and composed an EP of this travel: Sakura Garden is the first single from Tokyo19.
Historically, I composed all the beats upon coming back from Tokyo in 2019 and then worked on the EP linked above. I believe it kind of gives back the vibe and my feelings. Honestly, it is a very-very different place. If you travel there open minded, you are to see a whole new world!
Later, I worked on tons of videos that I feature up above in my article. First, the short editions of my journeys and then during the lock down, I decided to create the uncut edition with literally all the photos and videos, I could share. Between us, this is not a small thing: we put together 56GBs of photos and video footage with my wife. And we could only record video in 1080p with my old Asus Zenfone 3, so videos are not taking up much of a space.
Anyways, Sakura Garden is featuring that one and only sakura (cherry blossom) vibe. To our great luck, we travelled to Tokyo during sakura prime. It was not planned, we bought our tickets in December and sakura was expected to arrive much later. Yet, due to some unforeseen warm front, it started earlier and we landed on the first days. Essentially, we re-planned our days immediately and spent the first days in parks to enjoy cherry blossom along with all the other lucky tourists and locals.
