+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| The long-awaited first physical release from Yaruo: If there is one DJ |
| who truly deserves the phrase 'the time has finally come', it would |
| have to be this man. Over the years, Yaruo has uploaded countless free |
| mixes online - only to remove them shortly after. Yet every single |
| release became an instant sensation, creating waves of excitement |
| across social media and quickly turning into a legend among listeners. |
| His relentless dedication to exploring music is nothing short of |
| remarkable. Now, Yaruo presents his very first physical release: a |
| passionate vinyl-only Japanese groove mix, crafted through years of |
| digging, collecting, and countless hours spent with dusty fingers |
| searching through crates for rare sounds. Built around a mellow flow |
| that recalls 'the summers of those days', this elegant selection is |
| filled with carefully placed Japanese grooves that shine at just the |
| right moments. A truly unique Light Mellow mix that stands apart from |
| anything else. Through Yaruo's hands, forgotten Showa-era classics - |
| tracks that may have gone largely unnoticed when they were first |
| released - are brought back to life once again. Whether you use it as |
| the perfect background soundtrack or as a guide for discovering new |
| sounds, this is a release you'll return to again and again. |

| Yaruo (Beat Kaigi) is from Tokyo. He got into DJ culture at the age of |
| 15, when he began working as an assistant to a well-known local DJ, |
| helping him with tasks such as carrying record cases and equipment. At |
| the same time, he started DJing himself, initially focusing primarily |
| on Hip-Hop. After his mentor advised him to move away from playing |
| Hip-Hop and focus instead on Japanese music, Yaruo moved into Wamono. |
| He began searching for and collecting Japanese music on vinyl, and |
| playing these records in his DJ sets. After a ten-year break, Yaruo |
| returned to DJing. He began putting his mixes online as free-to-listen |
| releases, but kept them available only briefly, taking them down |
| shortly after upload. This approach helped build his popularity and |
| got more listeners interested in his mixes. When one of his online |
| mixes caught the attention of a well-known figure within DJ circles, |
| gained his approval and reached a wider audience, some Japanese record |
| shops also took an interest in Yaruo's mixes. They asked him to make |
| mixes for them, which they could then offer to their customers as |
| physical releases. At first, the mixes appeared as CDR's in very small |
| runs. Then, in 2015, Yaruo received an offer from the Japanese record |
| label "Twilight City Records", leading to the release of his first |
| officially pressed Mix-CD. When it comes to his Wamono mixes, Yaruo |
| does not confine himself to any particular genre, instead weaving |
| together a wide range of Japanese musical styles, including: City Pop, |
| Enka, Blues Kayo, Folk, Boogie, and Jazz. This eclectic approach has |
| shaped a distinctive style of his own, earning him a strong reputation |
| among Wamono enthusiasts.He is also a long time member of the Japanese |
| group of DJ's and diggers called "Beat Kaigi". |
