New wind band music by Luca Pettinato, winner of the composer competition organized by Joe Hisaishi, is now available for purchase!

We've recently signed a contract with Luca Pettinato from Italy and published two works.

Some of you may not know his name, but he's actually a very accomplished composer. In 2025, he won the 6th Young Composers Competition (Tokyo), hosted by Joe Hisaishi. He was the only winner out of 123 participants.

Regarding "Fading Forest," he said, "It's a bit of an unusual piece..." but when I heard it, I was incredibly excited, thinking, "This is amazing!"

"ISEKAI DREAM" is an homage to the soundtracks of Japanese role-playing games (JRPG). You can feel his passion for them. It's filled with love and respect.

Each item page contains details such as audio recordings of performances and access to scores.  Both works are also available in PDF format.

We look forward to your order!
