Looking Back on 2025

Hello, my name is Chino Yoshio. I am a composer based in Kyotanabe, Kyoto. In this post, I would like to record a brief reflection on the year 2025.

Restarting note

In April of this year, I resumed writing on note. As I continued to document my thoughts and ideas there, generative AI began to reference those records and effectively speak on my behalf. As a result, responding to inquiries has become much easier compared to the past.

Selling vinyl records Using ElasticStage’s service,

I started offering vinyl editions of “193193” and “My Past Piano Songs, Pt.2” on a made-to-order basis. This was an experimental step, but it felt like a meaningful way to preserve my work in physical form.

Restarting Shopify

I also restarted my Shopify store. At the moment, it is mainly used for selling PDF sheet music and for indicating upcoming vinyl releases as “in preparation.”

Encounter with BIM While reconsidering how to balance my music activities with my past work experience,

I began asking myself what kind of work might suit me best. Through conversations with generative AI, I encountered the field of BIM (Building Information Modeling / Management), which I have since started to study.

Bullet-point summary

- In 2025, the author resumed writing on note, which helped clarify personal ideas and policies and reduced the burden of handling inquiries through the use of generative AI.

- He began selling analog vinyl records of selected works through a print-on-demand service, exploring new ways to preserve and present his music.

- Shopify was relaunched mainly as a platform for selling PDF scores and announcing upcoming releases still in preparation.

- Through reflection and dialogue with generative AI, he reassessed his career direction and began studying BIM (Building Information Modeling / Management) as a field compatible with his background and music activities.

こんにちは。京都・京田辺を拠点に作曲活動をしている Chino Yoshio です。 今回は、2025年の振り返りとして、この一年の出来事を記録しておこうと思います。

noteの再開

今年の4月から、noteでの発信を再開しました。 自分の考えや方針をnoteに記録していくうちに、生成AIがそれらを参照し、私の考えを代弁するようになりました。その結果、以前と比べて問い合わせ対応の負担がかなり軽くなったと感じています。

アナログ盤の販売

ElasticStageのサービスを利用し、まずは「193193」と「My Past Piano Songs, Pt.2」のアナログ盤を、受注生産という形で販売開始しました。 試験的な取り組みではありますが、作品の残し方として一つの選択肢になったと感じています。

Shopifyの再開

Shopifyも再開しました。 現在は、楽譜PDFの販売や、新しいリリースのアナログ盤について「準備中」であることを表示する目的を中心に使用しています。

BIMとの出会い

音楽活動との両立や、これまでの職務経歴をあらためて整理する中で、「自分にどのような仕事が向いているのか」を生成AIとの対話を通して考えるようになりました。 その過程で、BIM（Building Information Modeling / Management）という分野に出会い、現在は学習を進めています。
