The truth is, I just moved the other day, so my room&#8217;s still a chaotic mess. But I thought this might be a good opportunity to show off my instruments, since they&#8217;re all out in the open.<\/p><p>The bass on the left is a 1969 Gibson EB-2D. It sounds deep and powerful. I&#8217;ve been using it as my main bass for several years now. Its body is hollow on the inside, so it has a relaxing acoustic sound. I always wanted to play a jet black EB-2D, so I painted over the original cherry red color.<\/p><p>The stringed instrument behind that is an E. 8 String Biwa. It&#8217;s an 8-string electric acoustic instrument designed to look like a biwa. The percussion instrument in front of that is an Arabian Darabuka. It&#8217;s used for things like belly dancing. I think the Darabuka has the most beautiful form of any instrument.<\/p><p>The dragon head you see in the back is the &#8220;Son,&#8221; a 3-string instrument from Thailand. It&#8217;s interesting in that the frets aren&#8217;t chromatic. In front of that is a Yamaha Classical Guitar. I don&#8217;t know the details on it, but it&#8217;s old and sounds good. Next to it is a Fender USA 1962 Jazz Bass. The instrument behind that with the swirly head that you can just barely see is an E. 6-string Syami. It&#8217;s a fretless electric acoustic instrument with three &#8216;strings&#8217; each composed of multiple strings, for a total of six. There&#8217;s a thin snare head-esque thing pulled across the body. It makes interesting sounds whether you&#8217;re slapping it like a shamisen or using a pick.<\/p><p>The cello is something I received from the composer Nobuo Uematsu. I started practicing the cello after I became an adult, and it&#8217;s a very fun, deep instrument. You can&#8217;t see these, but there are also 4-string and 6-string fretless basses behind it.<\/p><p>Hmm&#8230; I can&#8217;t list everything. But they&#8217;re all important partners to me who&#8217;ve played a part in my previous works and Penny Blood.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c589495 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default parallax_section_no qode_elementor_container_no\" data-id=\"c589495\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e7681e4\" data-id=\"e7681e4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0e1e9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c0e1e9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/hirota_pic2.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"hirota_pic2\" e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTcxNCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5wZW5ueWJsb29kLmpwXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIyXC8wOVwvaGlyb3RhX3BpYzIuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/hirota_pic2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/hirota_pic2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.pennyblood.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/hirota_pic2-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94b7da0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94b7da0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Here are my flutes.

The skull is my conversation partner. The hourglass helps me out a lot in my work. Even when I&#8217;m not in the mood to work, I can still concentrate for 15 minutes using the hourglass. Keeping up that pattern helps me work longer. Alarms don&#8217;t work for me&#8230;I prefer hourglasses. Behind that is a thermometer + hygrometer, which is very important for maintaining my instruments.<\/p><p>I prefer trackball mice.

Once I clean up my room and make it look even cooler, I hope you&#8217;ll take another look at it. I have even more instruments to show off, so I hope I can introduce them at another time.<\/p><p>Next time, you&#8217;ll get to see the desktop of Kaida Akari, another composer.
