Album art by me
My most important album so far. It takes heavy influence from Picopop and Shibuya-kei, mainly on acts such as Capsule and COPTER4016882.
I was conceptualizing this idea as early as 2020 with my dear friend Luok, guy behind beepbox classic Dr. Worm ( / dr-worm-mmc5 . Our idea was a café themed album where each hour corresponded to an hour of the day.
I started making songs for this in mid to late 2020, during my Shibuya-kei obsession peak, with its lounge inspired compositions and toy-like instrumentation. In 2021 Devious and I started working on a little jazz song. It eventually reached (nearly) 7 minutes in lenght and became my longest song (for a while, disconsidering the megalovania remix). This song became the album's titular song. Most progress on this album was seen between 2021 and 2023.
Waterfront Booossa is a cover of .numa's Waterfront Booost from 2019, originally started in 2020. / waterfront-boost
Track 13 was made with Devious and is one of the best things we've ever made / devious-on-jummbox
All songs were made on Jummbox (1-3, 5-16) and Ultrabox (4) between 2020 and 2023.

I am a kindergarten teacher and me and my students love this music, they say it is "cat's music" and they will ask me to turn it on during class and lunch time.

[@dweeb4]

This is so cute :,)) Even if they don’t remember these songs one day, they’ll remember you- and fondly.

[@civetcawfee]

🤍😭❤ That would be a + in my grade school days. Hope it's a peaceful & enjoyable time for all. Thank you for your teacher service!👏

After playing this music, I now have 50 stray cats in my yard! Thanks, nobonoko!

[@sinewavy]

Don't tell me, i lost count of the amount of badgers and raccoons that came into my house while producing some of the tracks, the latter specially for the last track

This is giving me severe nostolgia for mid-2000’s nintendo music. Thank you for uploading.

[@sinewavy]

I'm obsessed with that era aesthetically, thank you!!!!!

[@arabellat]

yes this reminds me so much of professor layton!

The most thoughtful YT comment ever

[@kyrathedragonshark5455]

I just noticed I thinks it's pretty cute

[@AgentMulder120]

not enough people are commenting on how adorable and well drawn the album art is. its so damn cute!!!!! the art style of it is my favourite part

[@lukashm4298]

true that

[@testingbls]

Agree, it takes the album to a new level. I walk around and show my friends "hey this album is the best and look at the album cover because it is also the best"!!!

[@jeffanderson3424]

This album was a big hit durring toddler breakfast time~ beautiful tracks that enhance a playful atmosphere.

[@sinewavy]

this makes me so happy I can't process it

[@berrys_shorts]

Thats actually super cute omg 🥺🩷

[@sinewavy]

i'm getting a loaf of FAQ, so here it is: Q; Can I use your music on videos/streams? A; Yes! You can use my music on stuff as long as it's not on anything harmful or offensive. Q; Will it be on Spotify? A; Only time will tell really. I will likely not be using any cheap distribution services. Maybe if i make a deal with some record label at some point, but it's possible that my music might not reach Spotify. As a rule of thumb, if you see my music on Spotify or any streaming services without me making an announcement on KZbin, Twitter or any social media first, it probably wasn't me who put it up there.

[@neolight1010]

Would love to see your music on Spotify someday!

[@AProblemOfficer]

I too, would love your music on Spotify eventually; KZbin is great and all- and I’ll still support your music here- but it would be soooooo nice if it were.

[@Earthshine256]

What about a video game pet project? Please consider giving your work a creative common license of your choice. It will help other artists and answer all the questions about the way you want your work to be used. (I've tried linking the project's site, but KZbin hates the links)

[@NovaMischief]

[@deadfr0g]

• A café where you can pet real panthers and sip nice espresso • A café where you read stories to hamsters and brew your own tea • A cafe full of polar bears where the food is you, actually

[@twoli]

the fact that you make your music in jummbox is so insane to me, ur a huge inspiration 🤍

[@entitypolyhedron]

JUMMBOX??? What. I love this person already

[@tsu08761e]

i know you meant that as a compliment, but trackers are quite commonly used DAWs and are super accessible. lots of people (me included) find them a lot easier to use than DAWs like ableton, fl studio etc

[@DoktorBeta]

@@tsu08761e jummbox isn't a tracker

[@MeatCatCheesyBlaster]

wtf is jummbox

[@puppable]

wait this was jummbox??? What the hell? how do you even get this kinda sound outta there????

[@nikonradish]

This album hits the Professor Layton, Story of Seasons, Animal Crossing, and Pokémon vibes with a dash of almost 2009 Vocaloid and that hits so right, this is absolute vibes 🤙👌

[@batalayar]

You forgot about Omori, I can't think of anything more but it

[@pricture]

Pokemon & Omori are the first things I thought of when I heard this music. 😀

[@beans445]

YOU GET IT. YOU UNDERSTAND

[@BrambleTakato]

Didn't expect a Professor Layton mention here but I can kinda see it!! Happy to find more PL fans around the corners of the internet. :]

[@cybersucia]

This is so accurate

[@ZephyrEmbyr]

KZbin randomly recommended this to me and I'm SO glad it did. Every single track on this album is just OOZING character and charm. Just an absolute joy to listen to from start to finish, thank you for making this!!!

[@sinewavy]

THANK YOU!!

[@Alex_zaiok]

Omg as a bass player I usually only play prog rock and metal but that first tracks bass line had me playing to it!!!! SO GROOVY

[@TheEpicGBX]

I love it when my personalize KZbin algorithm is recommending indie musician's soundtracks. I usually get the most chaotic genres of music. But a comfy jazzy Shibuya-Kei with clear inspiration of both Animal Crossing and Kirby is a very welcoming offer. can't wait to hear more from you!

[@takowacki]

ive always loved this type of music and im glad to find out theres actually a genre for it. thank you for this awesome set of good feel bangers 🙏

[@prognosticii]

What is the genre?

[@Kyrolsha]

@@prognosticiithe album is heavily influenced by the genres picopop and shibuya-kei!

@@Kyrolsha I see.

[@user-wj8zg7ih5v]

@@Kyrolsha Thank you :)

[@niicespiice]

it's also kind of animal-crossingy to me, but that's not exactly a genre. i do wonder what genre animal crossing music (mostly talking about acgn, acww, accf, the retro stuff) falls into @@Kyrolsha

[@spombp]

I feel so whimsical and silly after listening. This is genuinely a brain smoothie thank you for this... I feel so giddy now

[@buffmorb]

i thought you made a playlist, but no, YOU MADE THIS?? AND DREW THE COVER?? needless to say, i've been thoroughly enjoying this

[@pblair6591]

the sound design on this is amazing. the fact a chiptune tracker like jummbox can produce such smooth sounds just blows my mind

[@cinda4524]

Oooh!! This is the new 00s-era Capsule era album I always wanted but never got!! I'm so glad this exists and that people are still making things like this. I'm telling all my friends about it right now!

[@tsu08761e]

as a big capsule fan, i dont hear many similarities to capsule tbh

[@cinda4524]

@@tsu08761e I heard the similarities in instrumentation and mood when I compared it with songs like Weekend in My Room, Idol Fancy, Fashion Fashion, and Candy Cutie.

[@GryndStone]

@@tsu08761e there early stuff was very lounge influenced with pico-pop vibes. this isn't as 'pico-pop but I see it. Same vibes

[@waddledeedeee]

​@@GryndStone i do think this is quite picopop, especially in the use of chiptuney instruments, the simple arrangements and the laidback playful melodies. it all gives it a very bgm-like quality that i feel is very picopop

[@Hoozelfitz]

Ahhhh i wish this on spotify! This has become my work music to make the day a bit goofier

[@meggle_]

Saaame, I was just looking for it on there

[@wormworm580]

I’m a professional artist and sometimes having so many commissions on my plate can get stressful, especially with all my health problems. This music makes it much easier for me to go into my workshop in a silly goofy mood and smash out that art!! :))

[@keysden]

Immediately amazed from the beginning, "its time oclock" has such a soft beutifull progression and feel that reminds me a lot of comfy pikmin ost, amazing work!

[@MenRHott]

[@luvcomplex]

This is such a cozy and funky listen! Imagining all of the cafe goers and their characteristics is so fun!

[@dkcfan123]

Its like playing a new DS game... I was waiting for someone to do music using similar instruments and you just gave an excelent album with them.

[@rufaabdalla1726]

This is literally my favourite thing on the internet. I am not exaggerating. I have been looking for this type of relaxing, nostalgic video-gamey type of ambience music forever. Yes there are many who have similar playlists but they're always missing that special whimsical-ness. Thank you for making my day better! I'm sure I’ll be back any times.

こんにちは！ 突然KZbinからおすすめされて、アルバムジャケットに惹かれて視聴したのですが、全ての曲が個性的で中毒性のある曲で驚きました！貴方の作り出す世界がとても好きです！ これからも貴方の活動を日本より応援しています！🇯🇵

[@sakurai33700]

はい❤

[@penwozhere]

WAA this is super neat 0: was shocked to see how low the views n likes are! big fan of shibuya kei so it was only natural i suppose it was only natural that i ended up discovering picopop, thx for introducing me to this style this is also so very furry so it gets bonus points for that- the cover art especially matches the vibe the songs give me im only halfway through the album, and i write all this just to say: this is really really neat, and i'm glad i didnt ignore the suggestion

[@cameronm7318]

I agree, this is the epitomic furry music genre

[@mouthwaterin]

furry :D

[@sinewavy]

Actually so happy my music gets the approval of other furros

[@lopodyr]

Incredible stuff. As someone who is super inspired by some early 2000s game soundtracks, it's my favorite music in the world. The "Nintendogs/Paper Mario 2/Animal Crossing Wild World" style in this is very strong, and I'm here for it. It's awesome. Thanks a lot for making and sharing!

I'm glad this showed up in my recommended! It really brightened up my day having such a lovely album to listen to at work.

[@kwatar54]

You've got a nice synesthetic presentation with this album. This is exactly the kind of low key peppy music that I and my family enjoy and the cozy Animal Crossing-like album cover is a big draw in, whereas otherwise we probably would not have clicked it. Good work here, I hope your channel starts to take off after this!

[@user-fj2me7wp4k]

This is actually my favorite thing I have randomly stumbled across in the past month at least! Sometimes you just think that the internet is all tips for straining pasta and nine year olds who've died and then you find a gem like this and it makes it all worth it. Thank YOU nobonko!!!

[@nailahday5587]

This whole thing is beautiful and I’m probably not even a minute in.. this is a great example of why I want to make an album. The cover art, title, song names, and little sounds on each track are completely up to the artist. It’s like an art gallery. I love this whole entire video. The album cover, the song names, and the songs themselves…. UnbeLIEVEable. Whoever made this has such a beautiful mind. It’d be the greatest sin of the universe for them to forget that. Keep making stuff, cause what else are earth’s creatures for? 😁🫧💫🌷⛱️🌈🐞💗
