遡れば2001年、SA2のAquatic mineが自分的には当時のLo-fi HipHopではあるのですが、数年前からストリーミングで盛り上がっている、Lo-fi HipHop(BGM的なHipHop?)を、最初は聴いてるだけで満足してたんですけど、じわじわとチルでリラックスなLo-fi Musicを作る事への関心が高まり、昨年あたりから、

機材を買ったりプラグイン買ったり、少しづつ準備をしていたものが形になった感じです。公開するならYouTubeがいいかなと思ってアカウントを作りました。（チャンネル登録よろしくお願いします😉✨）家で過ごすことが多いと思うので、BGMとしてなんとなく流しておく感じで使ってもらえると、

いい感じにハマると思います。とくに何も起こらない動画ですけど、チルモちゃん（女の子の名前）をぼーっと眺めるのもまたチルです。今後は不定期で更新していけたらと思っていますが、曲が増えてきたらまたその先の展開も考えていきたいと思ってみたり。以上、ちょっとだけ語ってみました😁

Ohtani-san further tweeted that his first lo-fi HipHop song might be Aquatic Mine from Sonic Adventure 2 (2001), but recently as he has been listening to BGM-like lo-fi HipHop on music streaming services, he started wanting to compose them on his own.

He has been preparing with additional devices and plugins for this purpose, and was finally able to release his work. He made a YouTube channel for this so please give him a subscribe!

He hopes that the video fits as BGM for your days at home well. "Nothing much happens in the video, but just watching Chillmo (the girl's name) makes you chill as well. More works may be uploaded occasionally, and if enough songs are available I'd like to think about how to develop the series further."

If this becomes popular, more music might come! Subscribe to his channel, chill with Chillmo and stay tuned!
