Official Video “556-102” on YouTube | Dec 25 ,2024

Today is Christmas. In Japan, Christmas is more of a seasonal event than a celebration. I suspect that few Japanese actually understand what Christmas is all about.
I am a Buddhist, but I have studied Christianity and have a Bible, so I have some understanding. By the way, I can sing a few hymns.

Now, on to the main topic.
Continuing from yesterday, an official video has been produced and released on YouTube.

TAKEO SUZUKI – “556-102” (Official Video) | Experimental Electronica

The video material was sourced from Canva Pro. The material is time-lapse footage of major Japanese cities such as Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka.

I can’t really explain why I chose this footage, because I just followed my instincts. I used a sample of a Japanese folk song in the intro of the music, and perhaps because of the sound of the song, I brought the material of Japan in a cheap way. The time-lapse video also fit well for me because of the atmosphere of the sound.

By the way, the production time for this video is roughly one hour. I try not to spend a lot of time on production for the reason that I do not have enough time to allocate to production.

If I could make a living only with my musical activities, I would have enough time to spare, but that is not possible right now, so I do it that way.

How many people will really watch this video?
Hopefully, many people will watch it.
