This album 'Live in Tokyo 2025' is a recording of the entire live performance which was held in Tokyo by Anoice, an instrumental music band featuring a cinematic sound.

This live show was the first since Anoice released their latest album, 'Stories in White', and you can feel the destructive beautiful soundscape through their magnificent orchestral sound and stunning noises, which do not seem that they were created with only four members. The set list were selected thoroughly from all the seven albums from the first album 'Remmings' to the latest album 'Stories in White', and it consists of beautiful songs with a tension that is Anoice's unique within the world, created by a contrast of the silence and roaring sound; from neo-classical songs with a solemn and quiet atmosphere, such as 'liange' and 'all is white', to instrumental rock songs featuring a distorted guitar and intense drums such as 'kill lies all' and 'finale'.

For all those who lost their freedom.

On the 16th July 2024, the instrumental band Anoice, will release their long awaited new 7th album 'Stories in White'. After the release of their previous album 'The Hidden Forest', they released not only an EP and numerous singles, but also works from the members' solo/side projects; Takahiro Kido, Yuki Murata, Films, Mizu Amane, and Tokyo Ambient Collective, and composed soundtracks for movies and TV drama series. Now the band have finally completed their new masterpiece in the form of a full length album.

This album 'Stories in White' is the final chapter of the trilogy about the modern history of humans, which follows up the band's third album, 'The Black Rain' which made themselves known to the world through their dark cinematic sound, and fifth album, 'Ghost in the Clocks', which the album itself and each song within the album became the #1 and top 10 most streamed/downloaded instrumental music on Apple Music and iTunes Store in over 20 countries. It could be said that Anoice's culmination of their entire career was built by the beautiful soundscape of the magnificent orchestra-like sound and destructive noise. Of course, like the other two albums, an illustrator, Yoko Shinto took charge of the artworks.

The album consists of beautiful and passionate neo-classical songs played by a piano and string quartet, such as the first lead single 'aria', which Matthew Krivolapov directed its music video and 'lament' and other instrumental rock songs performed by spectacular an orchestral sound, noisy guitar, and dynamic drums such as heard on the second lead single, 'kill lies all', along with 'resonance', and especially 'the rain maker', which consists of over 100 tracks of instruments and samples and captures Anoice's unique sound.

The history has no choice but to hear this album.

The second lead single from the upcoming new album 'Stories in White' from Anoice, the instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound.

This song is an instrumental rock song performed by a spectacular orchestral sound, noisy guitars, and dynamic drums, and features as the sixth track of the album 'Stories in White', which the final chapter in the trilogy of releases about the modern history of humans, which follows up the band's third album, 'The Black Rain' which made the band known to the world through their dark cinematic sound, and fifth album, 'Ghost in the Clocks', which the album itself and each song within the album became the #1 and top 10 most streamed/downloaded instrumental music on Apple Music and iTunes Store in over 20 countries. On the release day, this song's music video created by AI, will also be released. As with the album, illustrator Yoko Shinto took charge of the artworks.

This is a song that symbolizes the anger which is another side of the album in contrast to the sadness which is expressed in the first lead single 'aria'.

A sad melody born from a lonely crowd.

The first lead single from the upcoming new album 'Stories in White' from Anoice, the instrumental music band featuring a dark and cinematic sound.

This song is a beautiful and passionate neo-classical song lead by a piano and string quartet, and is included as the second track from the album 'Stories in White', the final chapter in the trilogy of releases about the modern history of humans, which follows the band's third album, 'The Black Rain' which made the band known to the world through their dark cinematic sound, and fifth album, 'Ghost in the Clocks', which the album itself and each song within the album became the #1 and top 10 most streamed/downloaded instrumental music on Apple Music and iTunes Store in over 20 countries. On the release day, this song's music video which Matthew S. Krivolapov directed, will also be released. As with the album, illustrator Yoko Shinto took charge of the artwork.

This song is a painful but beautiful masterpiece that symbolizes the sadness which is one of the sides of the album.

The ephemeral sounds which pursue distant memories.

This is the 7th single from Mizu Amane, a side project of Films, a dark fantasy music project formed by the instrumental band Anoice, featuring their cinematic sound alongside two female vocalists with the same name. While Films' songs are sung with their own originally created languages, Mizu Amane features Japanese archaic languages which are no longer spoken.

Just like the previous works from Films and Mizu Amane, Anoice's members took charge of all the production, from composing and recording to mixing and mastering. The sound tapestry braided by the lovely sound of the piano, played by Anoice member, Yuki Murata, and the nostalgic vocal melodies sung by Films, is the world of Mizu Amane.

Mizu Amane also created the synthesizer sounds which imitate Japanese traditional instruments such as Shou, Tsuzumi, and Ekiro, using them to form some of the sounds of this release. The mystical sound of the Shou is a particularly notable feature of this song. This is a masterpiece allowing the listeners to feel a sense of eternity, which is best listened to on a gentle spring day.

An ephemeral, but beautiful and emotional masterpiece.

The dark fantasy music project, Films, will release a digital-limited lead single from their upcoming 4th album 'at the deep end' which is also their first album in seven years. The band is formed by the instrumental band Anoice, featuring their dark cinematic sounds and two female vocalists, who sing in their own originally created languages.

This song is a dark fantasy music which features ephemeral and beautiful vocal melodies floating upon the magical sound performed predominantly on piano, harp, glockenspiel, and a string quartet formed by a violin, two violas, and a cello. We're pretty sure that its emotional rise will resonate with you all. As with other songs of the upcoming album 'at the deep end', all tracks were composed by Yuki Murata, who is the pianist admired by many musicians such as the late Ryuichi Sakamoto and Takeshi Kobayashi. Anoice, the cinematic instrumental music group, played all of the instruments, and Takahiro Kido who takes charge of music for many movies and commercial adverts, arranged and mixed all the tracks, then mastered them.

This is an ephemeral, but beautiful masterpiece featuring a little slightly nostalgic atmosphere from Films, highly praised by Nobuo Uematsu who is achieved fame as the music composer for the Final Fantasy series.

it's not that we have lost everything yet.

It's been only three months since the dark and cinematic instrumental outfit, Anoice, released their latest EP 'unerasable fire', which expressed a time when the world confronts new problems generated after the pandemic period. However, on August 5th, 2023, they will release one of the highest levels of masterpieces within their past releases as a single.

A spectacular orchestra layered over and over by string instruments of violins, violas, and cellos. A piano and the snare rolls of drums which incite the feeling of an increasing pace. And, destructive distorted guitar noises. It's exactly the sound the crystallises Anoice members' talents, which is far beyond the euphoria of 'the three-day blow' included in their first album 'Remmings' and 'second coming' in the latest album 'The Hidden Forest'.

'farfa cinematic symphony' is like the last remaining song of hope left behind in an abandoned world, and also one which will go down in the history of not only specific genres such as instrumental, post-rock, and neoclassical, but music itself.

A song for those who guard the stars.

'hoshimori no uta' is the title of the 6th single, and also the first single in three years, from Mizu Amane, a side project of Films, a dark fantasy music project formed by the instrumental band Anoice, featuring their dark cinematic sounds and two same-named female vocalists. While Films' songs are sung with their own originally created languages, Mizu Amane features Japanese archaic languages which are no longer spoken.

Just like the previous works from Films and Mizu Amane, Anoice's members took charge of all the production, from composing and recording to mixing and mastering. The sound created by the lovely sound of the piano, played by Anoice member, Yuki Murata, and the nostalgic vocal melodies sung by Films, will likely induce a feeling of comfort as if you are looking at the stars in the tranquil night.

The music one craves when picking yourself up.

It has been four years since Anoice's 4th album, 'into the shadows', the masterpiece of neoclassical, post-rock, and ambient music, featuring 'old lighthouse' which became the #1 trending track on Spotify as Japanese artists, and 'invasion' which was used as the credit roll tune of 'Girl Lost', a US movie which was the #1 trending movie on Amazon Prime Video. An instrumental music band featuring a magnificent cinematic sound, Anoice will finally release their 5th studio album 'Ghost in the Clocks', after releases from the members' solo projects, Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, and side projects RiLF, Films, and Mizu Amane. It's set to be a future classic.

On this album, Anoice express the world that follows 'The Black Rain', their highly-praised 3rd album, which was selected as one of the top albums of the year by many music review websites. This is a new dark cinematic masterpiece that is also Anoice's unique sound.

This album was created from passionate piano lines and a beautiful strings section formed by violin, viola, cello, and flute, and an energetic rhythm, but especially 'time' and 'heroes' have a powerful sound akin to a Hollywood soundtrack. Also, woven into the fabric of the album is beautiful chamber music with melodies that will echo through your minds, such as 'missing', a re-arranged version of a piece composed for 'Double Fantasy', a Japanese TV drama series, and 'it' reminiscent of 'Liange' that is one of the tracks included in Anoice's 1st album 'Remmings', a popular song for Anoice fans. In addition, you can also feel a punk spirit of Anoice in a destructive rock tune 'rebirth'.

Artist Yoko Shinto, who took charge of the artworks of Anoice's 3rd album 'The Black Rain', once again complimented the music with her wonderful illustrations. 'Ghost in the Clocks' will be released not only on CD and digital but also vinyl record, a first for the band, and will be distributed worldwide.

This is a new single from Anoice, a cinematic instrumental music ensemble. This song is a masterpiece of instrumental post-rock with neoclassical a strings section and distortion guitar sound.
