"Light of Dawn" begins in the morning mists of Lake Suwa. The song was written by erhu player Shin (Jinge Liu). Although he originally hails from Dalian in China, he chose Shinshu as the base for his activities in Japan. "Light of Dawn" challenges the borders of traditional erhu music echoing the natural beauty of his second home. The clear and vivid sounds of up-coming koto player Yoshiaki Ohkawa (Sakuramen/avex trax) accentuate the mystery of the erhu and the expressivity of the two players brings a light of hope to a chaotic world. Shinshu-based unit AYER added vital spice to the track, creating a global vibe. MC Mystie is a musician, active both abroad and in Japan, and brings a lyrical integrity to the poetry. She is lauded for her talent in rap, poetry and songs. Producer Tsuyoshi Torii (representative of SSS Records) binds the talent of these three artists together.
