Really Really good as always!

It felt much more like a piece that would be in the background of a movie or cutscene than a focal piece of music which is totally fine. I don't think I'm good enough to write music like that yet because I feel like I always have to have a melody present or it feels underbaked. 

I do wish that there was more of a "High Point" in the music here because those peak moments are the most memorable moments to me but this song doesn't really have one. Again, that's not a bad thing since it feels more like a backing track but I think it could have made more of an Impact if there was a part of the song like that.

Personal wants aside, the mixing was phenomenal with the percussion especially sounding like feature film quality.

Hey Jofes, thanks for the comment!

Yeah, when I was experimenting with the scale, I quickly found it was super hard to get harmonic momentum going with it, so I opted to create more of a backing track, compared to the music I've made in previous jams. For the sake of the challenge, I restricted myself to just the notes in the Hirajoshi scale, but for real composing, I would definitely mix the Japanese scales with more Western scales to allow for a wider range of harmonic motion.

Funnily enough, because I was so harmonically restricted, I was able to spend way more time than usual on polishing the sound and phrasing of each instrument, and making my percussion line a lot more detailed. Really glad you liked the sound and mix, the hours I spent polishing it were worth it I guess, hahaha
