OCTPIA

Octpia was launched in Japan in 2000 as Hitoshi Kojo's private label.
By 2006, the label had released nine titles and took a four years hiatus after relocating to Europe, where its purpose was taken over by omnimemento.
With the exception of "The Epidemic Symphony No. 9", which was the last physical release title, all titles were released with handmade packaging by Kojo himself.

Digital file editions of all titles are available on Bandcamp.
Digital files of unreleased works from before 2006 will be released on Bandcamp from 2023 onwards.
