The richly expressive piano tones soothe the heart and spark renewed energy.
Wrapped in a majestic sense of scale yet filled with a warmly nostalgic feel, “Moment” is an ideal choice for anyone seeking moving, emotionally stirring BGM.
Nagisa ModeratoKōsaka Masayoshi
Since his debut in 1971, he has been one of the guitarists representing Japan’s rock and fusion scenes, scoring hits with a variety of instrumental tracks.
He places greater emphasis on the coherence of the composition itself than on the improvisational sections within a piece, and his playing is said to be stylistically closer to rock without vocals rather than to jazz or fusion.
