Born in Tokyo in 1985, Japanese composer Akira Kosemura (he/him) debuted his first solo album, “It’s On Everything”, on an Australian label in 2007 while he was still in school. That same year, he founded his own label, Schole Records, and garnered good reviews by releasing various albums of crossover genre music featuring the sounds of piano, strings, winds, synthesizers, and field recordings. Akira has composed music for film, stage, game and commercials, including the Cannes 2020 feature film True Mothers (Asa Ga Kuru) directed by Naomi Kawase, the OWN series Love Is__ produced by Mara Brock Akil, Nintendo Switch game JACKJEANNE produced by Sui Ishida, TBS series Chugakusei Nikki, a contemporary ballet piece MANON choreographed by Kimiho Hulbert, and Japan Pavilion in Milano EXPO. Also the Amazon original movie Jonas Brothers Chasing Happiness and Golden Lion winning French director Audrey Diwan’s debut feature film Mais vous êtes fous (Losing It) used Akira’s catalogue. In recent years, he has worked collaboratively with international brands such as Palme d’Or winning Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s current documentary film “The Center Lane” by SK-Ⅱ STUDIO, TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. SS22 collection runway, some commercials of La Mer Blue Heart, Land Rover, L’Occitane, Nikon, Rado, IKEA and Kinfolk. Akira also featured Devendra Banhart on a single titled “Someday”. His works have received high acclaim from media outlets around the world, including Pitchfork in the US. “The album, paradoxically, expands with multiple listens. It feels impossible to get tired of, circumscribed and boundless at once, and it’s so subtle that you might let it spin two or three times before you start to notice the repetition.” by Pitchfork
