“FATBOY BLUES 303” by Ryoma Maeda is an ambitious track that fuses traditional blues with modern electronic music elements.

Built on powerful basslines and a groovy rhythm section, Maeda’s emotionally rich vocals and distinctive guitar work intertwine to create an immersive musical experience. The track strikes an exquisite balance between tradition and innovation, resonating with both blues fans and electronica enthusiasts alike.
This song perfectly expresses both Maeda’s musical roots and his experimental spirit, vividly demonstrating his musical adventurousness that transcends genre boundaries.

“Drive in clear skies! A GO GO” by Ryoma Maeda is an exhilarating driving tune that lives up to its title. The track brilliantly fuses the liberating feeling of cruising under blue skies with retro and pop elements reminiscent of the 60s A GO GO culture.
From beginning to end, rhythmic beats and catchy melody lines pleasantly resonate, giving listeners the same excitement as driving along a coastal road in a convertible on a sunny holiday. Maeda’s characteristically light vocal touch and playful arrangement combine to create a groove that makes you want to move your body.
The memorable chorus phrases and somewhat nostalgic sound design pay homage to classic road trip music while reinterpreting it with a contemporary sensibility.
This track would be a perfect addition to any driving playlist, truly serving as a soundtrack for “clear sky drives” that enhances the pleasure of a sunny day outing.
