Description
Tsunaki Kadowaki, a staff member at Kyoto’s record store Meditations, the supervisor of “New Age Music Disc Guide”, and the founder of Sad Disco, curates the fourth installment of “Midnight in Tokyo” themed around Ambient Kayo.
The Midnight in Tokyo series by Studio Mule focuses on Japanese music, serving as a soundtrack for Tokyo nights—whether for home listening, club play, or as a driving BGM, transcending location and space. After a six-year hiatus, the fourth volume takes “Ambient Kayo” as its new perspective, compiling genre-defying tracks released between 1977 and 1999 to explore the intersection of Japanese ambient and pop music.
