Conisch is a composer and pianist whose artistic activities span across composition, piano performance, production, direction, and conducting. Known for his emotionally rich and expressive style, his music combines lyrical sensibilities with aggressive, catchy melodies. His works are highly acclaimed for their ability to empathize with characters’ emotional arcs and have been featured in numerous popular television programs. With a unique artistic voice and outstanding technical skill, his music offers an unmistakable and singular presence in today’s musical landscape.
In April 2023, he was appointed composer for the new TV anime series of the globally celebrated franchise Pokémon. The full-orchestra score attracted widespread attention upon broadcast and was met with enthusiastic support from fans worldwide.
He also composed the main theme for TBS's daytime news program HIRUOBI!, a piece that has remained familiar to Japanese households since the show’s debut in 2009. Another enduring favorite is his theme music for Joho7days NewsCaster, a program once hosted by the legendary Takeshi Kitano.
In 2025, he composed the theme and in-program music for Okonomi Wide, a news program produced by NHK Hiroshima. Remarkably, the score features woodwinds—a rare choice in news media music—and is performed by elite musicians including members of the NHK Symphony Orchestra. That same year, he was appointed to score the anime adaptation of Let’s Play, a North American webcomic with over 900 million views and an Eisner Award nomination, highly popular among young global audiences. The anime is scheduled for broadcast both in Japan and internationally from October 2025.

In parallel, Conisch continues to pursue serious concert music as a central focus of his creative work. He has composed a growing number of wind ensemble pieces in recent years, including the ambitious 15-minute Udon Anthem, featuring 10 percussionists, and Yúkucia, a virtuosic concerto for euphonium and wind ensemble. His clarinet concerto Mélodie de la Loire received critical acclaim at its world premiere, performed by Kenji Matsumoto, principal clarinetist of the NHK Symphony Orchestra.
With the project "ONKAN SEE THE SOUND", he explores the fusion of art and music through interdisciplinary collaborations. He has worked with internationally renowned sculptor-painter Junkyu Muto and SHISEIDO’s top hair and makeup artist Tadashi Harada. For the ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM GINZA at Ginza Mitsukoshi, he produced all music for the space, including the retail area, composing original works also inspired by the works of acclaimed architect Kengo Kuma and ikebana artist Shogo Kariyazaki. He also contributed music for the international exhibitions of the same museum held in Shenzhen and Taipei.
His diverse portfolio includes a piano performance of Aeonian, a work dedicated to a sculpture by Junkyu Muto donated at the Peru–Japan 150th anniversary ceremony; music production for SHISEIDO’s domestic and international hair shows; musical donation to the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science; a commissioned work for and world premiere with the Osaka Kyoiku University Wind Orchestra (which he also conducted); a performance of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata in the German film Raced Silk; a choral work Tomoyo included in a junior high school music textbook published by Seishinsha; original compositions for Yamaha Resort Katsuragi Kitanomaru; and the development of Soranone Method, a unique early childhood music education program.
Ever pushing creative boundaries, Conisch continues to carve his own path across media, genres, and generations.
