 “Elusive yet captivating, Japanese Onsen draws you gently into the depths of your emotions, each encounter awakening a different place, a different moment in time. The video unfolds like a dream—capturing and savoring fleeting beauty, and caressing your spirit with the serene warmth of a Japanese hot spring.”

Bill Kelly, Founder of the Winter Music Conference

Japanese Onsen by Monster Taxi – the brainchild of Miami composer, producer, and musician Jason Klein, immerses listeners in a sonic journey shaped by a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan with his son. From the serene rhythm of Kinosaki’s hot spring villages to the timeless grace of Kyoto’s shrines and temples, the piece reflects the harmony of Japan’s landscapes where tradition and tranquility meet. A soundtrack echoing steaming onsens, hillside vistas, and the artistry of Kaiseki meals, the song captures the essence of discovery beyond Tokyo and Osaka’s vibrant bustle. This evocative composition pays homage to a father and son’s shared adventure, a memory etched into melody, forever calling them back to Japan’s spirit of renewal.
