This slicked-up, smooth-jazz vocal version of “Sōranbushi,” an old traditional folk song of the Japanese O-Bon Festival season, is one of the top tracks on Camaru’s 2006 debut CD in Japan, “Just As I Am.” Video stills selected from Wikimedia Commons.

Sirius —True Mind Version

The original music and lyrics of “Sirius” were composed by Nobuyuki Mizuoka.

Mizuoka-san has a bottomless creative capability that could catapult him to great heights as an international-caliber composer-arranger. And how wonderful it would be for that to happen in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics!!

The melodies of Composer-Pianist Nobuyuki Mizuoka are routinely featured in the background music of the TV-Asahi Channel's weekly “秘湯ロマン (Hot Spring Romance)” program in Japan.
