The new song “Labyrinth” has been released as a single, about two months after “Beyond the blue.” It’s an up-tempo song that exudes a sense of speed and tension, as if racing through time and space.
The album has a jacket color never seen before, and it’s an instrumental that’s over six minutes long, featuring the Minimoog as the main instrument. Please give it a listen if you’d like!

Today, we released our new single, “Beyond the blue.”
This is our first digital single in about three months since our last release, “Music Helicopter (Run-up Ver.).” While our last track was a fairly intense one, this one is about 6 minutes and 47 seconds long, just as the cover image suggests, it’s a calm instrumental, like waves drifting in a blue world. It includes a choir and was created with a grandiose and cool image in mind. Please give it a listen if you’d like.
The remake of “Music Helicopter”, which was previously distributed as a single, will be released as the 2025 version on 5.11. Compared to the original at that time, the sound source is thicker and more flashy, so please listen to it if you like.

It’s March now and the weather is gradually getting warmer. Now, here comes the first single release of the year!
🔸kNock in Story Project J.M.C “Spring(2025 Ver.)” 2025.2.27 Release
This is the second release of the year. I remade the previously produced “Spring” into the 2025 version. It’s a medium tempo song with a gentle and sad atmosphere.
🔸kNock in Story Project J.M.C “Ancient Explorer” 2025.2.20 Release
This is the first release of the year. It’s an experimental song with a slightly different structure and worldview from previous songs. I started working on it around November of last year, and it feels like I’ve finally been able to release it.
I’ve had these headphones for so many years that I don’t even know how many years they’ve been in use. When I took them out of the vocal booth for work, they broke.
If you’ve used it so much that the “STUDIO MONITOR” letters that were supposed to be written on the headband have faded away, it’s time for the earbuds to reach the end of their life. The plastic supporting the pads on both sides has deteriorated and can break with just a little force.
So, I have a few other headphones (MDR-CD900ST) on hand, but my tastes have changed and I’ve been using the same Sony MDR-7506 for a while now. The jack is gold-plated, so there’s no noise, and the cord is curled, so it’s easy to carry around. Above all, I find the bass easy to hear, so I find it very useful. That said, I think I’ll probably buy the MDR-CD900ST again.
I’m making a new song as the first of the year, and I’m working on creating a new song. It’s a slightly different stage than before, but I hope I can shape it with my own worldview! I think it will be released soon, so please enjoy it. I hope you have a wonderful year!
Thank you for visiting and watching the site this year.
This year, we were able to release our 4th album “Long-Road” (25 songs) and mini album “Black aRRow” (8 songs), which we had been planning for a while, so I think we have achieved our goals for now. We are still working on recovering the broken HDD filled with songs, and we had a lot of issues, such as getting sick in late November, but we are currently working on creating new songs with the next goal in mind.
We will continue to work hard and have fun so that we can deliver unique songs and sounds next year! We look forward to your continued support in 2025.
