[@seaboatsk]

Himiko has the most beautiful smile in the world!

[@batlin]

Calling Waves and Little Romping Girl are incredible, such an atmospheric sound!

[@mmessam]

Awesome!!!!🙂

[@jedimaster708]

Proper old school into the night telly! Sounds like lounge music, or something from a 1980s ad campaign for some trendy product aimed at the jet set.

[@batlin]

I used to stay up sometimes and listen to this stuff when I was around 10-12 years old... quality stuff!

[@dvidclapperton]

Tslking about the 1980's, BBC1 tape Japanese Nights.

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

It's just smooth modern jazz, really. We don't get much of it in the UK anymore but it's still really popular in Japan and the USA.

[@blackmonster4708]

the VH1 night music! "new age" was the real "punk"

[@Retroloving1337]

It's like the completion music for the game if Super Mario Kart and Outrun had a baby...

[@raggabrashbanshee9223]

Brilliant special this great to relax and sleep to.

[@yazidtalbi8726]

Blessed by the algorithm

[@TommyWylie]

What were the albums called? I hope to find them sometime.

[@dvidclapperton]

I think some of her tracks (not on this video though) were first on Japanese Nights.

[@firealarmsfrommichigan3695]

Did they use to air all day or just durning the night when the channel signed off?

[@hibbiea8841]

Everyday's A Miracle is Weather Song (beat)

[@sandramendozarivera2784]

Hibbie A, I found the sample of Weather Song from Rainstick and Making Moment Music

[@hibbiea8841]

For My Buddy is Bubble Print Picture Frame

[@sandramendozarivera2784]

I found the sample of Bubble Print Picture Frame Song from the episode of the same name and Making Moment Music

[@hibbiea8841]

It's the songs for the Mai Kuraki samples

[@sandramendozarivera2784]

Oh, Yes

[@TedShatner10]

Portal 2's "Smooth Jazz" was clearly ripping the piss out of this kind of soundtrack.

[@sandramendozarivera2784]

Hibbie A, Smooth Jazz is Blossom's favorite music genre

[@RSK.Rainbolt-Syanic-Kerodii.]

Me, Xydonea, Nintendea, Psine, Uboa, Xana, Rainbow Drunk & Twilight Plasma approve of these awesome songs.

[@TastyMintRob]

Out of curiosity, where did you get the recordings from? Discogs says they were only released on LP. Your uploads are CD or certainly excellent tape quality. Thank you for a fantastic upload, and you've brought back many memories for me.

[@barebarekun161]

Robert Tucker My guess is he recorded the LP and then convert it to digital files like WAV or FLAC. Any well maintained records with right equipment can sound wonderful easily trumps the CD.

[@ethandantesmyth4125]

+Barebare kun There is a japanese cd of her work which is called Woman, I think

[@barebarekun161]

I just got the vinyl copy of one of Himiko Kikuchi's album "Woman"

[@hibbiea8841]

Calling Waves is Bubble Print Picture Frame

[@sandramendozarivera2784]

Hibbie A, I found the sample of Bubble Print Picture Frame Song from the episode of the same name and Making Moment Music

What Track Is It

[@steviebauer386]

What channel is that

[@DisobedientSpaceWhale]

Was this music specifically commissioned by the BBC for Ceefax?

[@JohnF-hh8xn]

The answer is...no! Fay Gibbs Music Services supplied various library and commercial tracks to the Beeb. These tracks could be used as they were published and released outside of the UK, avoiding full copyright charges...

[@JohnF-hh8xn]

Tracks from Italian libraries Patchwork and Ariston, and various Czech produced/performed tracks also featured on the Fay Gibbs supplied tapes. The BBC cue sheets ended up with mostly made up track names and performers....

[@hibbiea8841]

Higher Levels is Ball Biscuit Tin Bg

[@sandramendozarivera2784]

Hibbie A, I found the sample of Ball Biscuit Tin BG Music from the episode of the same name and The Best of Chris
