Himekami was the project of Japanese musician Yoshiaki Hoshi, sometimes accompanied by other musicians. Hoshi first came into prominence in 1971, winning the Victor Electronic Music contest. He started his musical project in 1980 and named it Himekami Sensation. However, in 1984 "Sensation" was dropped from the name and it became simply
"Himekami". The music was basically Electronic New-Age with sounds of nature and elements of traditional
Japanese music. Yoshiaki Hoshi died of a heart attack in 2004.
