Akira Kosemura
When Akira Kosemura started making music, it was a kind of therapy during his difficult time in his early 20s. He carried an audio recorder to capture the soundscape he encountered, and those field recordings inspired him to create music with his piano. “My original reason for making it, after all, was to heal myself, a kind of rehabilitation technique and it is still part of my everyday life, or perhaps an extension of it. It’s like breathing for me” he recalls.
Since his record debut in 2007, Kosemura’s compositions have been reflecting his inner voice, and drawing various images silently and beautifully – from quiet nights, four seasons, to some stories about unknown people in unknown world. He garnered attention worldwide, collaborated with notable musicians such as John Legend. Now in 2025, Kosemura looks at a new direction. MIRAI is his first-ever vocal project album featuring Devendra Banhart, Mr Hudson, Baths, Benjamin Gustafsson, Saro, Tom Adams, and Miyuki Hatakeyama.
