Hello! My name is Nostalgia. I am the creator and leader of Chromatic Dreamers. I’ve been in love with anime forever and got into J-music around 2006. Having a childhood band dream that I desired to pursue, I created the Chromatic Dreamers band project, and performed anime songs around my city (Toronto, Canada). I also grew up in a Christian household, but was blinded by the true gospel due to my legalistic denomination (SDA). I still read through the bible as a teen and got baptized then. 

In early 2023, I had an awakening. While I didn’t have an encounter with demons, I became greatly aware of how real magic, dark forces, and Satan’s influences were in our world today. God has kept me save all this time, even when around people who claimed to be wiccan, mediums, and others in the anime community who were probably dabbling with dark arts. Since anime regularly promotes those things in their shows, it’s easy to assume someone is just cosplaying or joking around, but if you check their Instagram accounts, you would certainly think differently. 

As a teen, I watched real life shows like Ghost Trackers, Long Island Medium, and Criss Angel (magician). Part of my felt it was somewhat real because the emotions seemed genuine, but everyone else would say it was camera tricks and actors. I’m a logical thinker, so something wasn’t adding up, but it wasn’t a huge mystery to solve then. After my English teacher showed us Xmen, I started looking into telekinesis and started meditating to achieve that. Thankfully, I didn’t go farther into it as I realized I desired power out of fear, and chose to trust in God to protect me instead. Regardless, I became a bit more aware that we as humans were capable of things not seen by the human eye. What I didn’t know until more recently was how demons were influencing our world and that they were giving people abilities and exchanging information with them. I knew nothing about Spiritual Warfare as my church didn’t even believe in the gifts of the spirit. But suddenly, things started to click. 

I ran back to God, and only then, did I truly realize all that I’ve done and that I can’t save myself with my works. I put my faith in Jesus only, and the following morning, I felt like my mind was wiped clean. I didn’t care to listen to music and God was the only thing on my heart. I was also spiritually hungry, so I binged lots of content and came to understand the true meaning of the bible. While I was aware of other false denominations, I didn’t realize my own was false as well, but it helped clear up a few things that I wrestled with since I first read the bible through as a teen, like the Sabbath. 

I really didn’t care to play guitar any more since I already achieved my childhood dream, but my singer nudged me too and I agreed. We were only together for 4 months, but I realized just how much time I have to spend listening to these secular songs to learn and practice them. So I told God after the festival, I won’t play guitar again unless for Him. But 6 months later, I got an opportunity to serve at a church plant, and that allowed me to reconsider CCM, and start listening to other gospel songs again. 

I’ve also consecrated this blog since and trusted His will with it. It was a huge deal as I poured my heart and soul into this blog, countless hours building, writing, and maintaining it, and it had a lot of potential. While He could have taken it away, He has allowed me to keep it, I figured there had to be something I could do with it to help spread the gospel though it, but I didn’t want to change the Japanese music niche it was built on cause of how SEO works. While I did look years before for Japanese Christian music with not much luck, I hit a gold mind this time around. No one had created a list of artist, so it was a great honour to be the first. I was hoping to find at least 15, my list is currently over 100. It quickly became one of my most viewed articles. 

I’ve had a chance to interview some of these artists, along with some Otaku-focused ministries in the West. I’ve also created a new smaller artist list that is focused on J-pop Alternatives. With my new Chromatic Saints band project, I hope to cover songs from these artists to hope bring them more exposure. I’m looking forward to creating more resources for my fellow brothers and sisters who want to minister to the lost, whether in Japan or in the anime community~<3
