Minoba

Renji Sakamoto, known as Minoba, creates the kind of music that immediately lowers your heart rate. Deeply rooted in the instrumental hip-hop and chillhop traditions, the Sapporo native builds incredibly cozy, mellow loops designed to exist in the background of everyday life. His tracks are textured with vinyl crackle, warm piano chords, and a steady, grounding rhythm that feels like rain against the window. Unpretentious and warm, Minoba’s catalog is the ultimate late-night companion for studying, reflecting, or simply slowing down.

Biography

Minoba

Minoba is a lo-fi project under Marthes Studio, created with the intention of long-term, functional listening.

His approach prioritizes mood and usability over complexity. Warm Rhodes chords, laid-back drum grooves, and subtle vinyl textures form the foundation of his work, resulting in tracks that feel familiar, cozy, and effortlessly continuous. The goal is not expression, but support — music that blends naturally into daily routines.

Music & Presence

Minoba’s releases are distributed digitally across major streaming platforms and are often accompanied by visual themes inspired by coffee shops, rainy streets, wooden interiors, and quiet urban spaces.

His visual identity reflects the same philosophy as his music: relaxed, understated, and inviting — reinforcing a consistent atmosphere where sound and mood coexist without distraction.
