Steve Reich: Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ

Let me introduce a figure from contemporary music.

Steve Reich is an American composer who represents minimal music, creating works through minimal (repetitive) structures.

As you listen, you gradually start to feel sleepy.

It’s very delicate and beautiful, so within contemporary music, it’s something you can actually fall asleep to.

The Blue DanubeJohann Strauss II

Johann Strauss II / Waltz “The Blue Danube” | Sascha Goetzel – NHK Symphony Orchestra

It’s a waltz by Johann Strauss II that was used as part of the soundtrack in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Since the piece flows expansively through the space scenes in the movie, watching it with the visuals might be nice before bed.

Its transparent, airy quality makes it a calming waltz.

Ryuichi Sakamoto — energy flow

This is a masterpiece whose delicate, translucent piano tones gently soothe the heart.

The clear, pristine melody played by Ryuichi Sakamoto tenderly accompanies the listener, like a breeze rippling across the surface of water.

Released in May 1999 as a theme for a Daiichi Sankyo pharmaceutical commercial, this piece achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first instrumental work to top the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, its simple yet deeply expressive sound resonating with many.

Its pleasant sense of weightlessness offers a moment of peace from a busy day, aids concentration, and provides a serene companion for quiet reading—creating a truly healing experience.

To my gentle youNornis

[Original Song MV] Nornis – To the Gentle You [Inui Toko / Machita Chima]

Nornis delivers a ballad that wraps you in warm kindness.

Its melody gently nestles close to the heart, highlighted by the crystal-clear harmonies of Tokoyami Toko and Machita Chima.

The song tenderly sings of the importance of supporting one another and the preciousness of someone who accepts your feelings just as they are.

Released digitally in February 2025, the piece was brought to life with the members’ involvement from the conceptual stage.

On March 8, they also performed it with an orchestra at Omiya Sonic City’s Main Hall.

It’s a song to share when you want to encourage someone who gives their all every day, or for those whose hearts feel tired.

sleep music

Ultimate restful sleep

For those who are truly exhausted and want a deep sleep.

The plaintive, Asian-evoking melody and the lonely sound of the flute will take you into a world of your own.

It’s also great for pre-bedtime yoga, stretching, and relaxation.

Sleep Music for a Truly Restful Night

Sounds like waves, rivers, and wind seem to have elements that ease human nervous tension.

And these music box-like tones somehow feel relaxing, too.

Even just listening to timbres you personally find pleasant can be soothing, so why not explore various sounds that help you relax and find ways to weave them into your daily life?
