A masterpiece that shines between electro and pop. A diverse soundscape created by a stellar production team including Yoshinori Sunahara.
With participation from Yoshinori Sunahara and DJ KRUSH, and including songs such as "Flowers Blooming in Joy," this album defined her musical individuality.
Featuring cutting-edge trackmakers of the time, including Yoshinori Sunahara, DJ KRUSH, and Towa Tei, the album depicts a soundscape that effortlessly straddles the boundary between electronic sounds and acoustic instruments. In "Flowers Blooming in Joy," delicate vocals intertwine with minimalist beats, quietly bringing inner emotions to the surface. In her cover of Stevie Wonder's "Another Star," she transforms the soulful energy of the original into ACO's signature transparent, floating feeling. The overall composition, which combines cold and warmth, is striking, making this a work that shines uniquely in the history of Japanese alternative pop.
