Rest in Peace, Kobayashi-san
I really love his work and arrangements

[ShiraJemJem]

RIP. He has been produced so many wonderful Ayu songs.

JEWEL is one of those songs I wish Ayu had managed to write for RAINBOW. It's just among the most beautifully written, composed, arranged, produced, and promoted songs I've ever heard. It was more than worth it's $2M PV.

Thank you so much, Kobayashi-san, for the countless hours of special moments your arrangements have brought me. And I hope you will stay with the kami here to help Ayu and all of us make even more.

Agreed. Every time I listen to it I’m awestruck. It’s just so delicate and intricate, yet so powerful.

This is sad news.
He made such great contributions to Ayu's work.

JEWEL is the song who made me love Ayu when she sang it at Music Station for the first time. I identified it as the moment I became a fan.

OMG. One of the best...

May he rest in peace.

[Majutsu]

I've been away from the forum for a few weeks, I wasn't expecting to read this when I came back. This is very sad news. Rest in peace...

Is him the one playing the piano in "haru yo, koi"'s performance at tv too?
Rest in Peace, I wish he didn't suffer his last days.
