Latest album of devastating emotional transcendence from the Japanese underground’s most lyrical singer-songwriter. Full of classic, richly textured songs of love, loss and stunned acquiescence to the wonders of the world. Alongside Tomokawa’s regular collaborators Toshiaki Ishizuka and Masato Nagahata, the expanded group also includes Compostela-veteran Takero Sekijima on tuba and recorder, and improv-legend Hiromichi Sakamoto on cello.

Includes Tomokawa’s ending theme song for director Rokuro Mochizuki’s “Johnen – Jo no Ai” – a retelling of the Abe Sada story.

Booklet includes lyrics in Japanese and English.
