The song "Distant Thunder at Tsubojiri Station" has been sold on Pond5

Distant thunder and rain sounds recorded at Tsubojiri Station, an unmanned station deep in the mountains of Japan, have been sold on Pond5, an overseas sound source site. Why do the quiet sounds of rain in Japan sell? Based on actual experience, I will explain, using 32-bit float recording, Portacapture X8, and the atmosphere of an unmanned station

POND5 was the first time my music sold—the day the “sound of rain” recorded at an unmanned train station late at night reached the world

I sold my first sound material on POND5. It's the sound of rain recorded in front of JR Takuma Station late at night using a Portacapture X8 and a BME-200. I'll explain in detail the background of the recording, the equipment used, the selling price, and my realizations

Why did you decide to sell your music on POND5?

With experience creating ASMR rain sounds on YouTube, I decided to try selling recorded nature sounds on POND5. I will deliver high-quality thunder and rain sounds recorded with TASCAM Portacapture X8 to the world.

Why we chose TASCAM Portacapture X8 to record rain sounds

Using TASCAM Portacapture X8, we recorded the sounds of a thunderstorm at Goshoji Temple in Utazu Town, Kagawa Prefecture. We will introduce an example of how we were able to record everything from light rain to thunder naturally without any distortion.
