Akinori Saito
Circuit Love
Based in Kanagawa, the rising young house/jungle/ambient producer “akinori saito”. Influenced by 1990s-2010s game music, new age, and Frutiger Aero, comes to Sweet Chunk with a new concept EP providing his sound within the context of a cyberpunk love story.
"This album tells the story of a girl living in Shibuya,
racing through a fluid inner world made of her own nerves and electronic circuits, driven forward by nothing but her impulses.
The city is always drowned in noise, neon, and damp air that clings to her skin.
Yet inside her, a different rhythm moves.
A network of circuits shifts like water, and electrical signals pulse like living creatures, bending into blue arcs that lead her forward—
synchronized with the lights of the city, pulling her toward places she can't name.
Loneliness breathes quietly near the core of who she is.
It isn't fear or pain; it settles inside her as a cold calm, a state that steadies her.
In those moments when no one touches her, her breathing gets lighter.
Somewhere behind Shibuya's chaotic surface,
she moves through the highway of her inner world more freely than anywhere else.
Soft as water, sharp as the speed of the city—
each time she cuts through these fluid nerve-paths,
she slips deeper into herself and toward an unpredictable future.
This drive is not an escape.
It is the raw, textured breath of emotion and curiosity
that pushes her forward and keeps her alive."
