Ambient music composer Takashi Kokubo will participate in the ambient party “Oasis Ambience,” held in the Iizuna Highlands of Nagano, Japan. Set within the tranquil surroundings of “Iizuna OASIS,” regarded as one of the birthplaces of Japanese healing music, the event will offer a unique sonic experience inspired by the concept of “music as massage.”

Starting at 6:00 PM on May 31, 2026, Kokubo will join Dr. Tsuguaki Takahashi, director of Takahashi Clinic, for a Talk Session exploring “The Relationship Between Natural Sounds and Vibroacoustic Therapy.” Together, they will examine the profound connections between sound, the body, and consciousness from both medical and acoustic perspectives, touching on topics such as forest bathing, natural soundscapes, frequencies, and vibration therapy.

Then, from 8:00 PM, a special live performance will be presented by the new collaborative unit “Planetarian (TAKASHI KOKUBO × The Factors)” in the form of an experimental public rehearsal. This exclusive “Blue Moon Session” promises an immersive performance born uniquely from the atmosphere of the full moon over the Iizuna Highlands.

A one-night-only experience where nature, sound, body, and consciousness quietly dissolve into one another.
