クローゼットに丸いものが落ちてた。Macbookのゴム足。 ボタンじゃなくて良かった〜裁縫する時間ないし… と思ってたら服のボタン取れたw 今日の作曲、中止！🎼 YouTubeで裁縫の復習。玉結びは身体が覚えてた。 あとは針に糸を通す…ための老眼鏡探しからだ👓😂

The more I chase my ideal, the more I feel I could’ve done better. But what a sound leaves in someone’s heart isn’t for the creator to decide. So I choose to trust the feeling when someone says they love it, and be proud that I made it.

They say mornings are better for the body, but a senior colleague once told me, “You’re a creature of the night.” They were right. My music is sharpest at night. From this deep darkness, I’m creating songs to touch your hearts and resonate within you. Look forward to what comes next. 🌙🎶

Today, I wanted to write down what I felt. Everyone’s journey eventually comes to an end. I have accepted that for a long time. But what weighed on my heart today was not the limits of my own time. It was the thought that the sounds not yet born might remain asleep, never reaching this world. ↓

Completely forgot I was on painkillers after dental work and jumped into training. Got hit with dizziness within seconds—my body just force-quit me 😂 Turns out the meds weren’t just for pain… they were also there to stop me from doing something stupid. Respect. Thanks 😊

God's trials always show up at the absolute worst times. The small stuff piles on all at once, and the heavy stuff completely wrecks your plans. That’s why they’re so ruthlessly effective.

"What is this insanely cool BGM?" Thank you for the amazing reaction!💖 In my pursuit of a sound that only a Japanese composer could bring out, the "Wagakki Rock" sound for "The Typhoon of Chugoku" was born!🎸🎍 So glad you’re enjoying the game as well! t.co/ugprVPtyVL

「なんだこのむちゃくちゃカッコいいBGMw」 最高のリアクションありがとうございます！✨ 日本人作曲家だからこそ出せる音を追いかけたら、The Typhoon of Chugoku の『和ロック』サウンドが生まれました！🗾🎸 ゲームも楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです！😊 youtu.be/P4xk6aij_kY?... #電車アタック

37°C this morning 🥵 10-min walk to the clinic. Waiting room: every guy in short sleeves, backs soaked 💦 Long sleeves. No sweat. New parasol debut 🌂 — working better than expected? Or is my metabolism just done with me 🤣

Encountered a shoulder-checker today for the first time in years. Luckily, I dodged them at the last second—and thankfully no one was in the way. Come on... I'm already dealing with enough aches and injuries, and I don't heal as fast as I used to. Give me a break! 😭

For a long time, video game music was looked down upon as "unorthodox." Yet, I believe there are sounds that can only reach people from that very place. There are landscapes that can only be born where the rules are broken.

The Ace Combat 30th Anniv stream opened with "Fire Youngman" and I completely lost it!💨 Ended up grabbing my guitar and playing along, reminiscing about the old days. Now I’m dying to make a new arrangement... hours passed and I've barely watched any of the actual video!🎸😂 youtu.be/jtFGb9qD0XQ

From the intro chord progression to the visuals, "Supersonic" brought back memories of the R4 days... 🏎️🏁💨 It also made me think that I might have explored a version like this somewhere along the way while developing one of my own tracks. youtu.be/0LiQp7y8Wwc?...

AceCombat2 ナムコに入社して２年目、実質上初の本線投入。人気のあるフライト・シューティング・ゲームの曲を大量に任せてもらえるなんて夢のようだった。 当時、機材の知識はまったくなく、サンプラーも初めてお目にかかった。先輩であるのんたんから「魔法の箱や！」と教えられ、そのまま「そうか、魔法の箱なのか。...

今日の会合は20人弱、前回と真逆でほぼ海外の方。 会えないと思っていた方にも会え「自分の言葉で話していい」空気に助けていただき、間違いを承知で口調と呼吸の力技で感情をぶつけました。 通じた瞬間に笑顔が生まれる。 …喋りすぎました。帰りにドンキに寄ったら、声が別人みたいに枯れてました🤣

Meeting up tonight with international game music friends who came to Japan for BitSummit, so I was about to wear my Dragon Quest T-shirt… and just realized today is the 40th anniversary 🐉 The Chosen Tee… I guess it chose me 😂 Happy 40th, Dragon Quest! 🎉 #DragonQuest #DQ40th

Both my music and my life are driven by imagination. Reality catches up later—and sometimes that means 20 years later.⌛️ I love that chase. 🏎️💨

Still can't believe a 2x Grammy winner like Knxwledge put a beat on my Ridge Racers track and called me his hero. And this isn't the first time — Jpegmafia flipped "Move Me" from R4 a while back and I was equally shook. I guess love for music just... travels. 🎵🏎️💨 x.com/knxwledge/st...

knxwledge on X: "@Kohta09 Takahashi-San! Thank you for such a kind warm message thank you so much for watching i am truly honored! You and Mitsuyoshi-San are my musical hero's! 皆様のご尽力に心より感謝申し上げます！" / X

Deep in the final polish. While it’s Golden Week in Japan, it’s just a regular Monday for my international projects. Refining every tiny detail… I’m truly grateful to be surrounded by such incredible talent. Love these creative exchanges.😊

作曲詰め作業中…日本ではゴールデンウィークという連休の真っ只中ですが海外との仕事ではふつうの月曜。曲の繊細な詰めの真っ只中。本当に素晴らしい才能の方々に囲まれてます。そういう才能との出会いとやり取り、本当に嬉しい。
