DE DE MOUSE shot to prominence after performing at the legendary RAW LIFE party held in Tokyo in 2006.
He’s a multi-player who handles everything from programming and mixing to visuals.
He chops and deconstructs sampled vocal snippets, then reconstructs them into mysterious melodies that sound as if sung by aliens.
When these are intertwined with vividly shimmering synths, a floating sensation, and euphoric, uplifting drums, the result is the one-and-only DE DE MOUSE world—definitely worth checking out.

This is the 2025 version of JR East’s annual ski trip campaign, JR SKISKI.
This time, Yuzu Aoki and Natsuki Deguchi appear, and the ad shows them enjoying their first time snowboarding.
Most of the scenes feature the group having fun together, but there’s a fleeting moment when Aoki and Deguchi lock eyes that really makes your heart skip a beat.
The BGM is “you’re my” by the three-piece band Pablo Haiku, an upbeat, refreshing track written specifically for this commercial.
JR East ‘Shinkansen YEAR 2017’ — Shinkansen Running Through the Four Seasons (version)
This song, used in JR East’s “Shinkansen YEAR 2017” commercial (The Shinkansen Running Through the Four Seasons), is an original track by composer fu_mou, who produces and writes songs for anime and idol groups such as Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku and Up Up Girls (Kari).
He is also known for his remixes of Yuzu’s “Irotoridori” and Porter Robinson’s “Flicker.” While he specializes in electronica and rock, this CM track stands out for its delicate sound that evokes “wa” and Japan’s distinct four seasons.
It combines a sense of speed with a relaxing comfort—something that would feel right at home playing in a ryokan.
