About AstraTune and their original activities
"Melting the boundaries of the world with sound"
These are my thoughts after spending a long time immersed in the violin and Baroque music.
A world where people, nature, and the universe are all interconnected, without division.
When we play together, we understand each other perfectly, even without exchanging a word.
I feel a sense of synchronicity with the people listening in the audience.
I feel that it is the same world that Buddha once saw and attained enlightenment in.
Through sound and music, transcending all philosophies, religions, ideologies...even the frameworks of art.
"A interconnected world"
We are working with the desire to deliver this to you.

AstraTune
We offer sound-based sessions (dialogues).
We will take your natal chart—the celestial alignment at the moment of your birth—and turn it into musical notation, playing it directly as sound. The instrument used is a baroque violin. This instrument, which amplifies the vibrations of its strings and converts them into beautiful tones, is perfect for this session.
Even music texts from 300 years ago describe research that likened the arrangement of celestial bodies to sound, and we are now offering an updated version of that research for the modern era.
~The AstraTune Process~
❶ A dialogue session based on Western astrology
Based on your birth information (date, time, and place of birth), we will create a natal chart. We will then engage in a conversational session, examining the planetary positions, discussing your current concerns, identifying your aptitudes, and ultimately guiding you towards your true potential.
For those who wish, we can also read your solar return chart. Since it reveals the trends of the year based on your birthday each year, we recommend taking the reading a few months before your birthday or around your birthday.
❷ Music Production
Based on the session, I will create a song just for you. This is a time to create music not only by logically processing what we've talked about into words, but also by using the vibes I felt in the moment and the true nature of you as revealed by your natal chart as guideposts.
We interpret the natal chart as a musical score, and then play the sounds that emerge from it to create a musical order.
❸ You will listen to the performance.
Performance at a planetarium
Many ancient human customs and cultural traditions, such as Christmas and Tanabata, are rooted in the movement of the stars and continue to exist today. By representing these through sound, the planetarium space is filled with stars and sounds, inviting you to outer space.
This project was made possible with the cooperation of Hoshi no Sato Iwafune Planetarium in Katano City, located near the Milky Way.
Bodywork and Music
We offer mind-body healing through a combination of bodywork and music.
Through sounds improvised while being mindful of the participants, and by resonating with the sounds of Bach, which are even recognized as a World Heritage Site, we aim to provide a better accompaniment to your life.
The synergistic effect is created precisely because of Yasunori Kameyama's exceptional treatment.
Collaboration with nature and art works
I immerse myself in nature and transform the atmosphere of that place into sound, or I directly translate the worldview of a work of art into sound.
Live music at a meditation session
I had the opportunity to perform live music at a meditation session hosted by MOTOKO, an Ayurveda expert.
While the participants were meditating, I improvised a musical performance, sensing the atmosphere of the moment.
Collaboration event with people from other industries
A collaboration between a reading by author Yuya Kojyo, who listens to the voices of all things in nature, and Bach's unaccompanied sonatas.
It became a place where one could feel the grandeur of Earth's history, transcending time and national borders.
