Akira Inoue

**Akira Inoue** is a visionary Japanese keyboardist and composer known for blending electronic experimentation with classical elegance. Active since the 1980s, he’s carved a niche in ambient, jazz fusion, and avant-garde soundscapes, often weaving hypnotic synth textures with live instrumentation. Recent works like *RHAPSODIZE* and *OSTINATISSIMA* showcase his knack for reimagining traditional melodies (like the folk-inspired *私たちの大切なうた* series) into immersive, genre-defying journeys. His *TOKYO SPATIAL INSTALLATION* project and live performances emphasize atmospheric, almost architectural sound design—proof that Inoue’s music isn’t just heard, but *felt*. A cult favorite in Japan’s electronic scene, he keeps pushing boundaries while staying true to his meditative, cerebral style.
