Summary
- Cornelius, led by Keigo Oyamada, embraces a new phase.
- A cover of Yosui Inoue's 1990 song 'Yumenemi' has been released.
- Recent activity follows a past scandal involving Oyamada.
The musical project Cornelius, helmed by Japanese composer Keigo Oyamada, is entering an exciting new phase. Fresh off a surge in popularity on TikTok, Oyamada has signed with Eat Your Own Ears. This marks the release of his interpretation of "Yumenemi," a beloved Japanese Balearic song originally created by Yosui Inoue in 1990.
This new musical offering signals a period of increased output for Cornelius. Oyamada's most recent solo works arrived in 2024, including the EP "Bad Advice/Mind Train" featuring Arto Lindsay and the ambient album "Ethereal Essence." These followed the 2023 full-length album "Dream in Dream," released after a controversy regarding past comments led to Oyamada's departure from the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony preparations.
