An interview with environmental musician Takashi Kokubo appears in the July 2026 issue of anemone, a magazine dedicated to spiritual and natural living, released on June 9, 2026.

Drawing from humanity’s earliest experience of sound in the womb, Kokubo reflects on our relationship with sound and nature. Having traveled to more than 50 countries and recorded natural soundscapes using his original binaural recording device, “Cyber-kun,” he shares insights into the healing power of natural sounds, the connection between people, sound, and nature, and the future of environmental music.

The interview also highlights his work as a sound designer, including the creation of familiar everyday sounds such as earthquake early warning alerts, electronic payment tones, and mobile phone notifications.

Through this first appearance in anemone, readers can discover Kokubo’s warm personality, rich worldview, and profound perspective on sound.
