“Inner Voice” — the debut work of Just you and the moon, a Japanese-Peruvian artist now based on Ishigaki Island. The project features composer and sound artisan Chihei Hatakeyama, who contributes modular synthesizer, electric guitar, mixing, and mastering. In the autumn of 2024, captivated by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Yaeyama Islands and their profound silence and soundscapes, the artist recorded field sounds of the sea of Iriomote, the tropical rainforest, and the call of the crested serpent eagle. Blending these with the colors of urban soundscapes from journeys to beloved metropolises—Tokyo, Bangkok, and Chiang Mai—she layered piano melodies, synth harmonies, and her own voice into the music. Hatakeyama’s expansive sound design resonates with both the wild nature of Iriomote and the inner voices of people living far from home. Her debut EP “Inner Voice” was self-produced and recorded between a cottage on Iriomote and Ishigaki Island, portraying solitude and longing etched into her body through migration from distant Peru to Yaeyama. The cover photo was taken by Shohei Nasu of Michikusaya, a tour guide based in the untouched western reaches of Iriomote. On September 8, 2025, under the Total Lunar Eclipse in Ishigaki, Just you and the moon will present this work for the first time in her debut live performance.
