A breathtakingly beautiful record performed with 20-piece orchestra.
This is a collaboration album by Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, who are members of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films, and also Japan's two representative music composers of modern classical music.
This album includes 10 songs chosen from not only Anoice, but also their solo projects, which were recorded together with the chamber orchestra, CAGMO, made up of eight violinists, three violists, three cellists, two bassists, and a flutist and harpist. Takahiro Kido took charge of the conductor role for the orchestra and Yuki Murata played the piano for all the songs. This perfect collaboration has succeeded in pushing the beauty and spectacularity of the original versions to their highest level.
'Music for Piano and Chamber Orchestra' includes some masterpieces such as Anoice's 'liange' and 'ripple', Takahiro Kido's 'where time goes', and Yuki Murata's 'red owl' which are representative songs from each project. You can feel the long stretch of the sound, shimmer, thickness, and each instrument player's breathing, which only a real orchestra can express. Anoice's 'the light' and Takahiro Kido's 'roads' have especially spread their gentleness further, like the magnificent natural landscape. Yuki Murata's 'ice flower' has risen the tension, and Anoice's 'colder than thermite' and 'drops' have increased the aggressiveness, and all are worth listening.
The recording process was executed at a recording studio in Moscow in one week in 2019, before the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, and just before the coronavirus pandemic spread around the world, and the instrument players from some countries including Russia and Ukraine joined. 'Music for Piano and Chamber Orchestra' is part of the culmination of Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata's entire career, and also the monumental work in which they show their attitude towards music again.

Takahiro Kido & Yuki Murata
![Takahiro Kido & Yuki Murata]()
Takahiro Kido is a Tokyo based music composer. He debuted as a member of the cinematic music group Anoice, by releasing their first album, 'Remmings' through Important Records, Boston in 2006.
In 2015, Anoice released their 4th album 'into the shadows' recorded in not only Tokyo, but also London, Paris, Warsaw, and Moscow. One of the album tracks 'old lighthouse' became the #1 trending track on Spotify as Japanese artists, and 'invasion' was used as the credit roll tune of 'Girl Lost', a US movie which was the #1 trending movie on Amazon Prime Video. In 2019, Anoice released their 5th album, 'Ghost in the Clocks', made from lovely melodies and magnificent orchestral sounds, which Anoice wrote as a soundtrack to a world that followed their 3rd album, 'The Black Rain' which details life after the atomic bombs. This album, 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.
Other than Anoice, he began to be active with his solo project, and also launched side projects from Anoice such as; RiLF, Films, Mizu Amane, Cru, and Tokyo Ambient Collective, and released many works via not only domestic but also international music labels such as Ricco Label, Important Records, 1631 Recordings, PLOP, Noble Label, Flowers Blossom In The Space, and Shochiku Records. As for his solo project, he had been creating basically warm and catchy music, but in 2025, released his 6th solo album 'INSOMNIA' which expressed the mentality of people who are living in the current information-filled society magnificently, beautifully, and sometimes cruelly. Its neoclassical-based sounds consist of mainly a piano and string instruments and has drastically changed the fantastic atmosphere which his past solo albums possessed. He also holds European and Asian tours as not only his solo project but also his bands, Anoice and Films every year.
In addition, Takahiro Kido has taken charge of composing music for many commercial adverts such as Armani, Louis Vuitton, Google, YAMAHA, TOYOTA, Mazda, Johnnie Walker, Ballantine's, Heintz, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, and etc, and some projects produced by the Japanese government agencies such as Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Also, he created the soundtracks of some movies such as 'Tsukiji Wonderland' directed by Naotaro Endo, 'Olivier Zahm: Digital Provocateur' directed by Can Evgin, 'Girl Lost: A Hollywood Story' directed by Robin Bain, and 'Hikikomori: A Deafening Silence' directed by Dorothée Lorang and David Beautru, and some TV programs produced by NHK, WOWOW, TV TOKYO, and etc. Some film works awarded at Venice Film Festival, Prix Italia, National Arts Festival in Japan, Cool Japan Matching Award, Japan Movie Critics Award, and Japan World's Tourism Film Festival, and Takahiro Kido himself received the Best Original Score Prize at Sapporo International Short Film Festival.
Also, he took charge of creating music for some events such as a film produced by Armani which was screened at Milan Fashion Week, a ballet 'Tanzbrucke 2011' performed at Janáček Theatre in Prague, an installation by SYN in Kyiv which was displayed at Moscow International Biennale, and an exhibition 'Black Rain Hibakusha - Out of the Shadow' by Thomas Damm in Berlin, and has been creating over 100 songs every year as the music composer and producer.
