Zelda Ocarina of Time but its Japanese Jazz Fusion Phantasia Records 2025-12-09 | Continuing our reimagining series, this mix revisits the soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998), composed by Koji Kondo, whose work has shaped the emotional language of game music for generations. The score’s depth, atmosphere, and thematic clarity make it one of our favorite projects to reinterpret, offering a wide spectrum of moods that naturally invite exploration.Because of this emotional range, the final piece extends beyond the familiar aesthetics of mainstream Japanese jazz fusion. Several tracks return to the roots of the genre, using acoustic instrumentation without digital processing or synthesizers. Others embrace the brighter, more polished sound associated with groups like Casiopea and T-Square, allowing the mix to move between intimate spaces and energetic arrangements. The original soundtrack provided an opportunity to explore multiple branches of jazz fusion, including its more traditional and unembellished forms.Thank you for listening.

Banjo-Kazooie but its Masayoshi Takanaka Jazz Phantasia Records 2026-04-14 | Continuing our reimagining series, this mix revisits the soundtrack of Banjo-Kazooie, composed by Grant Kirkhope, whose work defined the game’s identity through its playful phrasing and constant sense of movement. The score’s ability to shift seamlessly between moods while maintaining a strong thematic core makes it especially suited for reinterpretation.The first half of this project leans into the bright and expressive style associated with Masayoshi Takanaka, drawing out the rhythmic elasticity and melodic clarity already present in Kirkhope’s writing. These arrangements emphasize fluid phrasing and a more open harmonic space, allowing the themes to take on a lighter and more expansive character.The second half moves in a different direction, transitioning into a more traditional, laid back jazz approach. Here, the same material is reinterpreted with a focus on warmth, restraint, and slower ensemble interplay, allowing the music to settle into a softer and more reflective space. This contrast provides a gradual shift in tone, guiding the listening experience toward a more relaxed conclusion.Thank you for listening.

Sonic the Hedgehog but its Masayoshi Takanaka Jazz Phantasia Records 2026-04-08 | Continuing our reimagining series, this mix revisits the soundtracks of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, composed by Masato Nakamura, whose melodic approach and rhythmic sensibility gave the early Sonic titles a distinct musical identity. His writing, shaped by a strong sense of groove and harmonic clarity, allowed these themes to stand out even within the technical limits of the hardware.For this reinterpretation, the arrangements lean specifically into the style associated with Masayoshi Takanaka, drawing from his bright tonal palette, fluid phrasing, and rhythmic lightness. Nakamura’s compositions adapt naturally to this approach, revealing a shared musical language rooted in groove and melodic expression. The result highlights a more playful and sunlit character, while maintaining the structure and identity of the original themes.Thank you for listening.

Castlevania Bloodlines but its Japanese Jazz Fusion Phantasia Records 2026-04-02 | Continuing our reimagining series, this mix revisits the soundtrack of Castlevania: Bloodlines, composed by Michiru Yamane in her first contribution to the Castlevania series. Drawing from her background in classical music while embracing the series’ established rock-driven identity, Yamane crafted a score that balances baroque influence, melodic intensity, and the raw character of FM synthesis, giving the game a distinct and forceful musical presence.Approached through the lens of Japanese jazz fusion, these reinterpretations focus on expanding the harmonic and structural depth already present in the original compositions. The arrangements translate the soundtrack’s driving momentum into a live ensemble context, allowing its melodic lines to unfold with greater phrasing and dynamic contrast. At the same time, the reinterpretation highlights the classical undertones in Yamane’s writing, bringing them closer to a jazz informed framework without losing the urgency and dramatic weight that define the original score.Thank you for listening.

Phantasia - Odyssey (1999) Phantasia Records 2026-03-12 | ©️ 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 | 1999 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴Released in 1999, Odyssey (長旅) continues the experimental cycle that followed two consecutive mythology centered releases, introducing a distinct shift in tone and musical approach. While the previous records expanded the narrative foundations of the Phantasia universe, Odyssey steps outside the established chronology and presents a work oriented toward atmosphere, movement, and reflection. The album artwork has led many listeners to associate the work with the journey of Calypso, although the band has never issued an explicit confirmation regarding its narrative placement.The release further develops the reunited trio’s evolving sound after Seraphiel, moving decisively into a more electronic territory. Drawing inspiration from the synthesizer language popularized in Mort Garson’s work, Phantasia adapts that analog warmth to its own progressive sensibility. The compositions integrate melodic synthesizer leads with layered harmonic sequences, while maintaining the rhythmic vitality that has long characterized the group’s work. Shun Tanaka’s percussion continues to anchor the music through a combination of live drums, auxiliary percussion, and subtle electronic programming, often structured around relaxed yet intricate funk and soul patterns. Hiroshi Nakamura sustains the rhythmic center through melodic bass phrasing that interacts fluidly with the synthesizer arrangements. Takashi Yamada expands his role in the electronic palette with a wide range of analog synthesizer textures that shape the album’s tonal landscape.Musically, Odyssey can be described as a synthesis of progressive fusion, analog synthesizer composition, and groove oriented rhythm. The record alternates between expansive, trance like passages and sections of heightened melodic intensity, creating a dynamic flow that emphasizes immersion and contrast. Within the broader history of Phantasia, the album stands as a deliberate departure from the mythological chronology while maintaining conceptual continuity through its recurring motifs of journey, transformation, and inner exploration.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Crash Bandicoot 1 & 2 but its Japanese Jazz Fusion Phantasia Records 2026-03-06 | Continuing our reimagining series, this mix revisits the soundtracks of Crash Bandicoot and Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, composed by Josh Mancell in collaboration with the team at Mutato Muzika. Their work helped define the musical identity of the early PlayStation era with a cartoon like style built around highly rhythmic arrangements that mirrored the exaggerated motion and physical humor of the games themselves. While the first title established this energetic framework, the sequel expanded it further with clearer surf rock influences layered into the score.Approached through the lens of Japanese jazz fusion, these reinterpretations focus on translating that rhythmic character into a live ensemble context. Percussive ideas that originally relied on electronic layering are restructured into groove driven arrangements, while melodic fragments are expanded harmonically to allow greater interplay between instruments. The result aims to preserve the animated spirit of the original soundtracks while presenting them through a more organic and musically expansive framework.Thank you for listening.

Phantasia - Seraphiel (1997) Phantasia Records 2026-02-26 | ©️ 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 | 1997 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴Released in 1997, Seraphiel (内陽至上道) marks Phantasia’s return to the mythological saga that had defined the band over the decades. Conceived as a prelude within the established universe, the album turns toward the distant origins of the Seraphims and introduces, for the first time in the band’s discography, the image of one of these beings. The cover portrays a Seraphim in its planetary state, situated in an era preceding its later involvement in human history. The narrative dimension of the record situates this civilization within vast desert landscapes and sacred natural environments, where knowledge, architecture, and social order were oriented toward higher principles of consciousness and permanence.The project also marks the reunion of the original trio, restoring a formation not heard in decades. Shun Tanaka reengages with the Latin jazz foundations that characterized the group’s earliest period, now supported by drum machines that reinforce the atmospheric dimension of the record. Hiroshi Nakamura maintains his role as the axis of movement, his melodic bass lines interweaving with synthesizer bass textures to define the album’s rhythmic depth. Takashi Yamada returns on guitar while assuming primary responsibility for synthesizer composition, shaping layered tonal environments that color the work with a broader spectrum.Musically, Seraphiel advances beyond the band’s earlier Japanese jazz fusion identity, articulating a hybrid language that integrates ambient structures, Latin rhythmic phrasing, elastic funk patterns, and vivid techno influences. The production favors space, repetition, and gradual harmonic transformation, reflecting the philosophical themes embedded in the concept. Within the chronology of Phantasia, the album functions as both archival excavation and stylistic realignment, opening a new cycle while tracing the distant origins of forces that would later define the central saga.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia, Stella Starcross - Book of Stars (1992) Phantasia Records 2026-02-20 | ©️ 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 | 1985 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴In 1992, nearly a decade after the release of Phantom Angels, Phantasia and Stella Starcross resurfaced in a collaboration no one had anticipated. By then, the band had already transitioned into a new structural phase under Phantasia Records, and Stella’s name had gradually taken on an almost archival quality, referenced and debated but never revisited in studio credits. The prevailing assumption among listeners and critics alike was that their brief convergence in the early 1980s had been a singular, unrepeatable event.Yet internal studio logs and recently recovered session documents confirm that a new body of work was recorded during a short and largely undocumented period in early 1992. The circumstances surrounding these sessions remain unclear. There were no promotional announcements, no advance pressings, and no interviews acknowledging the project. What remains are the recordings themselves, now restored and presented under the title Book of Stars.Unlike Phantom Angels, which introduced Stella as an anomaly within the band’s framework, this later collaboration presents a more integrated dynamic. The compositions unfold as a series of distinct narratives, each carrying a subtle stellar imprint, as if assembled from fragments of a wider cosmology. Several passages echo themes and symbols embedded in Phantasia’s earlier mythology, suggesting a conscious dialogue with the band’s established lore. For years, the material circulated only as rumor, mentioned in passing by collectors and hinted at in fragmented discographies. Its official release now reframes what was once thought to be the final chapter of their collaboration.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Secret of Mana but its Japanese Jazz Fusion Phantasia Records 2026-02-16 | Continuing our reimagining series, this mix revisits the soundtrack of Secret of Mana, composed by Hiroki Kikuta, whose work on the title remains one of the most distinctive and atmospheric scores of the 16-bit era. Kikuta built a sound world shaped by texture, rhythm, and layered ambience, giving the game a sense of mysticism and scale that set it apart from its contemporaries.Approached through the lens of Japanese jazz fusion, these reinterpretations focus on preserving that atmospheric identity while bringing greater structural clarity to the harmonic and rhythmic ideas beneath it. Some pieces lean into ensemble interplay and expanded improvisational passages, while others remain restrained, allowing space and tonal color to guide the arrangement. The result highlights how naturally Kikuta’s compositional language adapts to a fusion context without compromising the contemplative character that defines the original soundtrack.Thank you for listening.

The Golden Age of Japanese Jazz Fusion | Best of Phantasia Phantasia Records 2025-09-25 | Japanese jazz fusion reached a creative and commercial peak in the 1980s, driven by a confluence of technological innovation, studio precision, and a generation of musicians with deep roots in both jazz and pop traditions. While major acts like Casiopea and T-Square gained mainstream recognition, the era also gave rise to smaller, more conceptually driven groups that expanded the boundaries of the genre. Among them, Phantasia emerged as one of the most distinctive, not only for their sound, but for the intricate universe that gradually formed around their work.Phantasia's so called "Golden Age" began in 1984, when the group transitioned from their foundational trio period into a fully structured band. This shift coincided with the release of Future Angels, their first album as a cohesive unit, and marked the start of a prolific period under Zodiac Records. Between 1984 and 1990, the band released six albums that defined their artistic identity and laid the foundation for the mythological narrative that would later shape their legacy. These works combined tight fusion arrangements with conceptual frameworks, making each release part of a broader creative arc. During this time, Phantasia refined both their musical language and visual storytelling, culminating in The Golden Voyager (1990), their final album before the formation of Phantasia Records and the end of their partnership with Zodiac.This compilation brings together selections from those six albums. Future Angels (1984), Seraphim Dream (1985), Dream Collector (1986), Awaken (1988), Collector’s Dreamscape (1989), and The Golden Voyager (1990). It serves as an entry point into the band’s core era, a curated overview of the sound and structure that defined their most influential years.Finally, we want to thank everyone who has supported the channel recently, especially through the jazz fusion video game reworks. If you're discovering Phantasia through those mixes, we hope this compilation offers a glimpse into the original project, and perhaps a reason to listen further.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Ocean Goddess | Phantasias Rarities Vol. II Phantasia Records 2025-08-16 | ©️ 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 | 1984 - 1990 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴Before the formation of Phantasia Records, the band was signed to Zodiac Records, a mid-tier label with a small but loyal roster that operated from the early 1970s through the 1990s. During this period, Phantasia recorded a large number of tracks, most of which were never formally released. This was the result of the band’s overwhelming creative output and their meticulous approach to album structure. Known for being both prolific and detail-oriented, Phantasia often produced far more material than needed, selecting only the tracks that best served the hidden narrative arc of each release.This release compiles a selection of those unreleased tracks, recovered from the label’s internal archives shortly before Zodiac was absorbed and rebranded under the Phantasia Records name. While some compositions share motifs or sonic palette with tracks from the official discography, others stand entirely on their own, offering a glimpse into the band’s exploratory process during one of their most active creative periods.All tracks have been lightly remastered for archival clarity. The structure and content remain faithful to the original reel transfers, with no overdubs or modern instrumentation added. This is the first volume in an ongoing effort to preserve and present the full creative output from Phantasia's Zodiac era.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Stella Starcross - Oasis of Self Phantasia Records 2025-08-05 | ©️ 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 | 1985 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴Following her celebrated appearance on Phantom Angels (1982), Stella Starcross vanished from Earth’s orbit with no recorded destination. She disappeared into the stars, leaving no trails of her path or any signal across space. For over two years, her presence was undetectable.We now know that after her time aboard the Sapphire Spell, and her brief collaboration with Phantasia, Stella spent the entirety of 1983 adrift in outer systems, searching for something neither fame nor music had yet answered. Late that year, the Sapphire Spell was forced to land on an uncharted desert planet after years of traveling. Severely weakened and out of resources, she was discovered by a remote and ancient people known as the Nymari. They brought her to a hidden spring deep within the sands, a site regarded in their culture as sacred, reserved for rites of spiritual renewal.Through ritual magic, they guided Stella into a process of realignment, a spiritual initiation structured around seven inner centers. Each track in Oasis of Self was composed during or after this initiation, representing a stage in her psychic and energetic evolution.Though the names of the Nymari rituals remain unknown, the recordings themselves have survived, captured on analog devices repurposed from the Sapphire Spell and later curated by Stella herself before leaving the planet at age 29.

Pokémon Red/Blue but its Japanese Jazz Fusion Phantasia Records 2025-07-31 | Listen to our Gold/Silver remix here! youtu.be/9mj4gBCeqbwThis video marks the beginning of a new series under the Phantasia project, a reimagining of classic video game soundtracks through the lens of Japanese jazz fusion. We begin with the legendary Pokémon Red & Blue, transforming its original score into a set of intricate, groove driven arrangements inspired by Japan’s golden era of jazz fusion in the late 70s and 80s.In the past year, reimagining video game soundtracks through niche musical genres has quickly become a recognizable trend, especially across platforms like YouTube. In light of the recent drop in traffic on the Phantasia channel, we’ve decided to contribute our own interpretation of this format, as a way to sustain activity and continue supporting the broader vision of the project. By reaching new listeners, we aim to keep the channel alive while further developing the long-term narratives and releases that define the Phantasia universe.To all our regular listeners and those who have followed the project over time, thank you for your ongoing support, it’s what has kept Phantasia alive and evolving. And to new listeners who may be discovering the channel through this mix, welcome. We hope this project offers something fresh and meaningful. Whether you've been with us for a while or just arrived, we’re always open to hearing what you'd like to see next, from more reimagined video game soundtracks to entirely new directions. Your feedback and presence continue to shape the path ahead.Original art by SebastianelliStudio.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Zodiac Archives | Phantasias Rarities Vol. I Phantasia Records 2025-07-17 | ©️ 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 | 1984 - 1990 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴Before the formation of Phantasia Records, the band was signed to Zodiac Records, a mid-tier label with a small but loyal roster that operated from the early 1970s through the 1990s. During this period, Phantasia recorded a large number of tracks, most of which were never formally released. This was the result of the band’s overwhelming creative output and their meticulous approach to album structure. Known for being both prolific and detail-oriented, Phantasia often produced far more material than needed, selecting only the tracks that best served the hidden narrative arc of each release.This release compiles a selection of those unreleased tracks, recovered from the label’s internal archives shortly before Zodiac was absorbed and rebranded under the Phantasia Records name. While some compositions share motifs or sonic palette with tracks from the official discography, others stand entirely on their own, offering a glimpse into the band’s exploratory process during one of their most active creative periods.All tracks have been lightly remastered for archival clarity. The structure and content remain faithful to the original reel transfers, with no overdubs or modern instrumentation added. This is the first volume in an ongoing effort to preserve and present the full creative output from Phantasia's Zodiac era.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

One of the earliest and most well-received releases was this reinterpretation of Future Angels, a record that held particular popularity during the band’s later period.The original compositions, rooted in jazz fusion, were adapted into new arrangements drawing from future funk and synthwave. The harmonic structures and melodic progressions were kept intact, but the instrumentation and rhythmic approach were reshaped to reflect a more contemporary electronic sound.This release bring renewed attention to a work that had already resonated with listeners decades before.

Stella Starcross - The Sapphire Spell Phantasia Records 2025-07-03 | ©️ 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 | 1981 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴Following her departure from the Nebulux Star at the age of 24, Stella entered a period of isolation marked by long-distance travel across multiple star systems. This phase, though absent from public documentation at the time, represented a turning point in both her personal autonomy and artistic identity. No longer bound to nightly performances, she assumed full creative control over her sound and direction for the first time.Though primarily known at the Nebulux as a vocalist and occasional pianist, always while singing, Stella had developed a solid grasp of music theory, arrangement, and recording techniques during her years at the club. Immersed in a professional environment and surrounded by seasoned musicians and technicians, she absorbed the intricacies of the medium with characteristic stubbornness and a continuous learning mindset.Aboard her self-financed vessel, The Sapphire Spell, she began producing what would become her first fully independent work. Recording in motion and often without fixed destination, the ship became both a refuge and a mobile studio. The album comprises 13 tracks, including two that remained unreleased until this edition. The material captures a moment of transition, defined by introspection, independence, and the psychological effects of long-term solitude.It was during this same window of itinerant travel that Stella visited Earth and met the members of Phantasia, resulting in the joint recording of Phantom Angels in 1982. While that collaboration would introduce her to a broader audience, The Sapphire Spell represents her final body of work before that encounter.Though not yet shaped by the deep spiritual language of her later recordings, the album lays the groundwork for what would follow and contains early glimpses into more ethereal and metaphysical territory, particularly in tracks like “Silhouettes” and “Lost at Sea”. For researchers of her evolution, The Sapphire Spell stands as the beginnings of her transformation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Stella Starcross at The Nebulux Star | Space Jazz Collection Phantasia Records 2025-06-26 | ©️ 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 | 1972 - 1980 | 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥, 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 & 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴Stella Starcross at the Nebulux Star is the first public compilation of recordings during from her residency at the Nebulux Star, a multi-species entertainment venue located in a neutral trade zone along the Perseid drift. For nearly a decade, her voice defined the club’s atmosphere, a young woman of unknown origin who, against all odds, commanded the stage from the age of sixteen, silencing creatures of every kind with a presence that was impossible to ignore.This period predates all known studio material attributed to Stella. The recordings presented here, restored from analog and partial digital sources, reflect her early development as a vocalist and composer within a setting that demanded adaptability, charisma, and control. The Nebulux’s clientele, composed of traders, travelers, diplomats, and criminal intermediaries, made it one of the most volatile performance environments in the sector.Though still young, Stella’s work during this time reveals the foundation of her later transformation, a voice capable of precision and startling expression, shaped under pressure. While less philosophical than in her later work, already engaged themes of autonomy, longing, and emotional tension.The Nebulux years are essential for understanding her trajectory.

Phantasia, Stella Starcross - Phantom Angels (1982) Phantasia Records 2025-06-17 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐌 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐒In 1982, following the release of Call of Ethernity, Phantasia entered what would become one of the most enigmatic periods in their history. By then a well-respected trio within Japan’s progressive jazz fusion scene, vanished from public view. The band’s remaining concert dates were abruptly canceled without explanation. No statements were issued by Zodiac Records, and the three core members, known for their tight creative chemistry and prolific output, became entirely unreachable. For nearly two months, there were no sightings, no live performances, nothing but silence. It was as if the group had been quietly dismantled, leaving fans and critics alike to speculate on the reasons for their disappearance. Whispers of internal tensions and artistic exhaustion circulated, but no concrete answers ever emerged.Then, late that year, a sighting outside the Zodiac studio in Meguro stunned followers, Yamada, Nakamura, and Tanaka, intact and apparently back to work. Within weeks, a new album materialized: Phantom Angels (幻影の天使). The project marked a radical shift for Phantasia. For the first time in their discography, vocals were featured prominently. But this was no conventional pop crossover. The voice that threaded through the album was unlike any the Japanese jazz scene had heard. It was crystalline, restrained, and strangely emotive. The vocalist, credited only as Stella Starcross, was a complete unknown.The most widespread theory at the time, and one still held by many, is that Stella Starcross was simply a pseudonym for Keiko Arai, who would go on to join the band officially not long after. Arai, known for her command of synthesizers and backing harmonies, had the musical pedigree and the quiet demeanor that could fit the role. But in interviews, she consistently denied it. When pressed on the matter, she responded only that she was "honored by the comparison," but was not involved in the vocal recordings. Her denial, calm and consistent, only deepened the speculation.The band, for their part, offered nothing but silence, except for a single offhand remark from guitarist Takashi Yamada. When asked directly at the Tama Music Festival who Stella Starcross was, he simply said:「彼女はこの世界の人じゃない。それだけさ。」“She’s not from this world. That’s all I can say.”The other members reportedly laughed at the question, but Yamada's tone remained unreadable, somewhere between jest and reverence.In the years that followed, theories multiplied. Some suggested the band had hired a session singer whose identity was hidden for contractual reasons. Others believed she might have been a foreign artist briefly working in Tokyo, or even a figure from the underground electronic scene, brought in by producer contacts. There were also those who saw Stella as a symbolic construct, a projection of idealized voice and persona, rather than a singular individual. The truth was never confirmed, and the band never revisited the subject.What remains is the music. Phantom Angels endures as a singular moment in the band’s timeline, an album that feels suspended between eras, between fiction and memory. Whether Stella Starcross was real, imagined, or somewhere in between, her voice transformed Phantasia’s work into something closer to myth. And for a brief instant, the boundary between reality and dream felt thinner than ever.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia - The Jungle Witness (1976) Phantasia Records 2025-06-06 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐉𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒Released in 1976, The Jungle Witness (密林の証人) is Phantasia's final collaboration with Ryo Kobayashi and the closing chapter of the Jaguar's Journey trilogy that began with Rainforest.This album brought all original members back for one last adventure, an unexpected convergence that delivered something profound, both for the band and their listeners.The record blends two sides of the band’s evolution. On one hand, it revisits the guitar driven afro rock that defined Jaguar, now with new maturity psychedelic progressions fused with assertive jazz phrasing and a deeper integration of Ryo’s signature saxophone work. These tracks were co-produced by the trio themselves, channeling a sound that feels raw and instinctive.On the other hand, the album returns to the smooth textures of Rainforest, delivering elegant bossa nova and dreamy afro jazz pieces. These songs offer a lighter, more spacious atmosphere, at times lounge inspired, at times quietly mystical. Listening closely, one can imagine how each musical direction mirrors the figures on the cover,the jaguar’s earthbound energy and the angel’s divine prescence.After this release, Ryo returned to his academic role, while the trio continued shaping the next phase of Japanese jazz fusion on their own terms.Fun Fact:By the time The Jungle Witness was recorded, the band wasn't fully aware of the weight this album might carry in their future discography. The Phantasia universe wasn't planned from the beginning, and this record quietly anchored much of what would come later. Fans often point to this moment as the first visual and musical hint that something greater was unfolding.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia - The Golden Voyager (1990) Phantasia Records 2025-05-29 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐕𝐎𝐘𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑Two years after Awaken, Phantasia returned with The Golden Voyager (光の航行者 ), released in 1990 as the closing statement to the Future Angel saga. This album marks the protagonist’s final transcendence and for the first time her name is revealed as Calypso.Sonically, the band embraced their most refined and mature sound to date. With a full return to the golden era of Japanese jazz fusion, Golden Voyager blends all their prior approaches: from groove based compositions with layered development, to progressive arrangements, emotive ballads, and traces of the trio’s earlier disco-funk. It is both a culmination and a farewell, the sound of a band mastering its form before stepping into something entirely new.Following this release, Phantasia launched their independent label Phantasia Records and began exploring more electronically focused directions, starting with Reincarnation (1991). Though Golden Voyager wasn’t explicitly marked as a goodbye to jazz fusion, hindsight confirms it was exactly that.Visually and thematically, the album presents Calypso beyond our realm. No longer bearing artificial wings, she now ascends with her own golden crown, a symbol of her earned transcendence. Her silhouette mirrors the Dream Collector herself, suggesting a cyclical transformation: mortal becomes divine, sacred becomes flesh.Fun Fact:When Golden Voyager dropped on vinyl, fans expected a grand finale to the Future Angel storyline, a resolution that never fully came. The titles gave clues, but the answers remained just out of reach.To this day, listeners wonderDid Calypso become the Dream Collector?Was the butterfly born of stars always the Collector in disguise?Did the Seraphim uplift humanity with divine design, or quietly rewrite our fate?What future awaits us under their silent gaze?Some say the answers lie hidden in the art. Others believe they were never meant to be found.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia - Aetheria Solterra (1992) Phantasia Records 2025-05-12 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐀𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐀After the release of Infinity Embodied in '91, rumors swirled about another Phantasia album, one last return to their classic era, a direct continuation and possible finale to the Starborn Metamorphosis saga. This was Aetheria Solterra (地霊守), a reimagining of Call of Eternity and the definitive closing chapter of the band's well known synth driven disco funk era.Unlike Infinity Embodied, which evolved the original compositions further, Aetheria Solterra stays true to the core essence of Call of Eternity. However, with refined production methods, every synth was reworked, every texture polished, creating a cohesive, immersive soundscape. This was not just a remaster, it was the album as it was always meant to be heard, crafted to shine in a disco atmosphere.While every song remained faithful to its roots, one track transcended. The final, self-titled piece, Call of Eternity, took on an entirely new meaning. This was no longer a mere call, it was the final incarnation of the character, her ascended form, now bearing the name Aetheria Solterra. To embody this transformation, Keiko Arai returned, delivering a mystical, yet haunting vocal performance, channeling the divine presence of Aetheria herself.Fun Fact:Thanks to its refined remastering, this version of the album better portrays its original two chapter structure. Side A unfolds as a unified journey, leading the listener from the anticipation of the call to the ritualistic moment of ascension. Side B expands into the vast unknown, capturing the different phases of the ascension, culminating in the final form, Aetheria Solterra.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia - Divine Incarnation (1978) Phantasia Records 2025-05-01 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐃𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍After the departure of Ryo Kobayashi in 1976, Phantasia entered a period of silence. Two years later, in 1978, the band returned from the shadows with Divine Incarnation (神性の化身), the dawn of what fans now call their Golden Era.Phantasia returns with an album that feels patient, luminous, and deeply assured. There’s no urgency here, just a quiet confidence, as if the band allowed the music to grow slowly, taking root and unfolding at its own pace. Rather than looking back, the album opens itself to total creative freedom. It begins in familiar terrain, lush tropical textures and Afro-jazz rhythms reminiscent of their early days, but slowly drifts into new territory, folding in waves of funk, soul, and psychedelia. All of it is filtered through a matured jazz fusion language the band had been quietly mastering.Divine Incarnation doesn't explain itself. It simply unfolds, delicate, radiant, and unknowable. It marked a rebirth for Phantasia, and the start of a mythos that would only grow deeper in the years to come.Fun Fact:After Ryo’s departure, the band had their first direct exchange with the artist responsible for their earlier album covers, an anonymous figure who had always worked through Ryo. With Divine Incarnation, the communication shifted, but the collaboration continued without pause. That moment quietly marked the beginning of a new visual chapter, one that would slowly drift from the jungle to the stars.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia - Jaguar (1975) Phantasia Records 2025-04-15 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐉𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑Released in 1975, Jaguar (ジャガー) shifts away from the tropical serenity of Rainforest, embracing a wilder, more electrifying sound. The inspiration came from the album’s closing track, where the trio were given full creative freedom, resulting in a raw jazz-rock experience. Recognizing their natural affinity for this sound, Ryo encouraged them to expand on it, leading to an album that pulsed with energy, blending surf rock, jazz, and Afro-Latin rhythms.Jaguar became a wild and dynamic adventure, propelling Phantasia beyond niche jazz circles and into the heart of a thriving underground scene. Their music now filled clubs and small festivals, bringing a newfound dance energy to their performances.After the trio graduated, Ryo found himself at a crossroads. He had grown attached to the energy of Phantasia, embracing the wild spirit of live performances alongside his students. Rather than stepping away immediately, he chose to guide them through this next phase, teaching them how to command the stage on their own. Slowly, he began taking a step back, but not without leaving an open door. Before fully returning to academia, he made them an offer, one final project, a record that would close this chapter of their journey together.Fun Fact:Jaguar was the last album the trio recorded as students, capturing their raw passion and youthful energy.

Phantasia - Awaken (1988) Phantasia Records 2025-03-24 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐍Following the story of Future Angels, Awaken continues the journey of these mystical figures, always seen in deep slumber, now stirring into consciousness. Released in 1988, Awaken (目覚め) arrived after Dream Collector, a monumental compilation of the band's best material. Yet, it didn’t live in its shadow, instead, it took a deeper dive into themes that had only been hinted at before.With a more atmospheric and carefully layered approach to their signature Japanese jazz fusion sound, Awaken marked a deliberate deepening of the world Phantasia had been hinting at for years. Through its carefully chosen titles and evocative compositions, the album traces the contours of a universe shaped by unspoken histories and silent transformations. Rather than explicit storytelling, the album evokes meaning through evolving moods and dramatic shifts. It’s a world where nothing is explained, yet everything feels intentional. What that means is left, as always, to the listener.Fun Fact:Keiko’s synthesizer work on Awaken took center stage, shaping its cinematic and otherworldly feel. Some early pressings were rumored to include a 15th track, supposedly an extended piece by Keiko, but no official confirmation of its existence has ever surfaced.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia - Life Among Stars (1983) Phantasia Records 2025-03-19 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐒Released in 1983, Life Among Stars (星々の中の生命) marks the final album from Phantasia’s original trio before expanding into a full band. Following Call of Ethernity, where Keiko Arai made her first appearance, lending her voice to the final track. This album represents the trio’s last exploration of Japan’s evolving jazz fusion sound before embarking on a new era.During the making of this album, Keiko had already become a close friend of the band, frequently joining their jam sessions. When she saw the early sketches for the cover art, it immediately reminded her of the work of a good friend, Akira Matsuda. Not only was Akira a talented visual artist, but he also had a deep understanding of music, making his connection with Phantasia almost instant. Enthralled by the band’s evolving sound and aesthetics, Akira began sketching different interpretations of the celestial figure depicted on the album cover, eventually laying the groundwork for what would become the Future Angels concept.With Life Among Stars, the trio delivered their final statement before stepping into a new chapter. After its release, the band’s chemistry with Keiko and Akira was undeniable, and they soon became official members, ushering in a new era of Phantasia.Fun Fact:Fans of Call of Ethernity might recognize "The River" as the original version of Moonlight on the River, While the Call of Ethernity version transformed it into a smooth and sensual electronic ballad, this earlier rendition reveals its pure jazz roots. With its modal progressions and gradual, intricate build up, it captures the trio’s signature interplay, embodying the raw, evolving energy that made their live performances unforgettable.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Phantasia - Rainforest (1974) Phantasia Records 2025-03-03 | ©️ 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐀 - 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓Phantasia was born in the early 1970s as a project within the Tokyo College of Music (東京音楽大学). Professor Ryo Kobayashi, a specialist in Afro and Latin jazz, recognized a unique connection between three of his students: Takashi Yamada, Hiroshi Nakamura, and Shun Tanaka. Encouraging them to experiment beyond conventional jazz, he guided them in developing a style that incorporated Afro and Brazilian influences. He introduced them to complex polyrhythms, modal harmonies, and the textural interplay characteristic of Latin jazz, shaping their approach to composition and improvisation.As an academic project, the band was structured to provide a deep understanding of jazz composition, arrangement, and performance across multiple instruments. Kobayashi oversaw the compositions, handling the keyboard and saxophone arrangements to ensure a solid harmonic and melodic foundation. The rhythm section followed a structured approach, drums and bass provided a clear anchor, while guitar remained an open field for improvisation, allowing Yamada to refine his expressive style. Since this was a learning experience, each student studied multiple instruments before settling into their primary roles.As their skills developed, their unique sound began to draw attention. The trio was frequently invited to perform live under the name of their college, showcasing their talent at academic events and jazz festivals. Their performances not only impressed audiences but also caught the attention of Zodiac Records, an independent label known for nurturing experimental artists. Under Kobayashi’s direction, the trio recorded their debut album in 1974, titled Rainforest (熱帯雨林).Fun Fact:For the final track, Kobayashi allowed his students full creative control. The result was a departure from the rest of the album, a powerful, rhythmically intense track infused with progressive rock influences, hinting at the band’s evolving musical direction. This moment of artistic freedom foreshadowed Phantasia’s transformation in the years to come.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

As the second album following Ryo Kobayashi’s departure, the trio of Takashi Yamada, Hiroshi Nakamura, and Shun Tanaka embraced an adventurous spirit, pushing their boundaries both in composition and instrumentation. The result is an album that seamlessly blends elements of classic Japanese jazz fusion, playful funk rhythms, and dynamic keyboard driven soundscapes.A key aspect of Source of Dreams lies in Yamada and Nakamura’s decision to refine their secondary instruments, Yamada expanding his voice on keyboards and Nakamura exploring the saxophone with newfound expressiveness. This self-imposed challenge resulted in an album rich in variety, with each track offering a unique perspective on their evolving artistry.Fun Fact:The track titles seem to follow a progression that mirrors a metaphysical transformation, tracing the origins of existence and the forces that set destiny into motion.
