We're Natsukashii Kumo ('Nostalgic Cloud')
A Jpop Acoustic Duo!

Anime has had such a big impact on the West, especially for millennials who grew up watching them on TV.  Thus, the songs that came with them have a lasting impact.  

These songs can restore memories of the characters we related to, their struggles and growth through the episodes, and the lessons we’ve learned from them. 

Even if it’s been 10 or 20 years, hearing those tunes will make us look up at the sky with nostalgia, recalling a time when life was more simple and we still had our innocence. 

We had a fun time playing the songs that are close to our hearts during summer 2023 and we are now on hiatus.
Will we come back one day? We’ll see!! 

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

Pretty Heroes Convention

Sunday, July 16, 2023

Our debut as an acoustic band has come and past. The JCCC (Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre) is always a comfy place to be. We definitely felt more confident this time around, and I think we did pretty well! Thanks again Emily for allowing us to re-debut at your convention ^_^ And thanks Ray (@rayjoevideo) for being our sound guy again and for the amazing photos while we were on stage! We’d also like to thank the other volunteers who helped us set up on stage. We really appreciate your time and care. 
We love you all!~<3

Japan Festival Canada

Saturday, August 19, 2023

We’re so honoured to be allowed the opportunity to appear at one of the biggest Japanese Festivals in North America! While it was a very big stage compared to anything we’ve been on, we already know Anime and Jpop Idol fans are some of the most supportive people in the world <3 There were quite a few sound and technical issues but we powered through and had a lot of fun. We’re so thankful for he organizer, Andrew, for giving us space on the stage, along with all the others behind the scenes who continue to make this event an amazing success. We couldn’t have asked for a better or bigger finale for the Chromatic Dreamers Band Project. It truly means the world to us!! ;______; 

I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars.

For Guitar Chord Transcriptions

The internet is still limited when it comes to Jpop chords. I can find popular tracks on SongsterrUltimate Guitar, and Anime Chords, but for unpopular or forgotten songs like I Wish and Seven (Digimon), Shiawase no Niji (Gakuen Alice), Gravity (One OK Rock ft. Satoshi Fujihara), I’ve gone to Mortecius to have them transcribed. I’m still a newbie guitarist, so it’s hard to try to figure out the weird and uncommon chords in these songs, but Mortecius with his jazz background makes it look easy. He’s in two bands, so definitely check out his socials as well!

Keep On Dreaming & Believing <3
