Ohashi Trio

Ohashi Trio is the brainchild of Japanese multi-instrumentalist and producer Yoichiro Ohashi, a modern maestro blending jazz, city pop, and electronic beats into smooth sonic cocktails. Since emerging in the late 2010s, his project has become synonymous with twilight-hour vibes – picture neon-lit cityscapes and late-night drives wrapped in warm synth textures and sophisticated arrangements. The Trio (often a flexible collective rather than a fixed lineup) gained traction through collaborations with vocalists like Riria., showcased in tracks like the dreamy "アーモンド," and through evocative soundtrack work like their atmospheric score for TV drama "探偵ロマンス."

With releases like the shimmering "GOLD HOUR" EP and compilation album "collaboration best -off White-," Ohashi Trio’s music feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking – like discovering a forgotten ’80s cassette that somehow predicts future music trends. While keeping a relatively low public profile, their consistent output and hazy, genre-fluid sound have cemented them as darlings of Japan’s contemporary chillwave and city pop revival scenes.
