Dreamer high-res image
I have just submitted the distribution request for "Seaside Voice
Dreamer," the first single from the upgraded version of Anime Hop. I
expect it will be available on various music streaming platforms around
tomorrow or the day after.In the upgraded version, the original eight
tracks from the first Anime Hop have been newly mixed and feature
additional arrangements. Furthermore, I will be adding five new songs,
and these will be released sequentially, approximately one track per
month, like a serialized manga. I actually wanted to release all the
tracks today, but I decided to take the time to complete them to
enhance the quality of the music.Last year, I released the original
Anime Hop without any prior explanation of its change in musical
direction. I’m truly sorry for the confusion and disappointment that
caused for longtime Xinlisupreme listeners. This project was born from
many stories—one of them involving a Korean fan of Xinlisupreme, and
another about Vocaloid rap, which I talked about in my most recent
interview. For the upgraded version of Anime Hop, I will update my
social media and official website about twice a month, sharing my
thoughts on the new tracks of Anime Hop and anime until the project is
complete."Seaside Noise Dreamer" is a remake of Seaside Voice Guitar,
and also the version of Seaside Anime Hopper from last year without the
rap part. Seaside Voice Guitar was born from the desire, after
releasing my debut album, to put all the time and ideas it would take
to make one full album into a single song — to create one supreme
track. For that reason, I left FatCat and spent four years trying to
make it the supreme song.Five years ago, I set out with the goal of
surpassing that track, spending three years creating Seaside Noise
Dreamer. However, during the process, I realized that my creativity had
reached its limits with that sound. And that's when Anime Hop was
born.So as the prologue to the Anime Hop story—and the final track to
carry the name “Seaside”—please listen to “Seaside Noise Dreamer”Let
the story begin.
** The upgraded version of Anime Hop will be a "playlist album,"
compiling all the singles into playlists on platforms like Spotify. It
will not be released as a single, cohesive album again. There will be
various single cover artworks for the 13 tracks, so please choose your
favorite cover artwork to use for the playlist album cover. The initial
version of Anime Hop will be removed after some time. In my first post
and interview about Anime Hop, Xinlisupreme’s third full-length album,
I spoke about the bullying I experienced after releasing my debut
Tomorrow Never Comes, and about the discontinuation issues around my
second album I Am Not Shinzo Abe. Because of this, there’s a risk of
retaliation from those involved.As I also mentioned in my latest
interview, Anime Hop employs many innovative methods that differ from
the already innovative music of Xinlisupreme, so I anticipate it may
also become a target for conservative music fans. I have already
received threatening messages on Stories from Japanese accounts.
Consequently, I will not be distributing the upgraded Anime Hop on
music platforms such as Bandcamp, which do not allow specifying
distribution regions. This is a necessary precaution for Xinlisupreme's
safety and to successfully release all tracks of the upgraded Anime Hop
without omitting any. Additionally, Anime Hop may face censorship,
similar to what happened with "I Am Not Shinzo Abe," so the music
distribution method may change during the process. Thank you for your
understanding in advance regarding any inconvenience.
