Lyric

Old Charcoal Merchant

Hon Da Q

薪を伐り炭を焼く南山の中

満面の塵灰　煙火の色

両鬢蒼蒼　十指黒し

炭を売り銭を得て何の営む所ぞ

身上の衣裳　口中の食

憐れむ可し身上　衣正に単なるを

心に炭の賤きを憂え　天の寒からんことを願う

夜来城外　一尺の雪

暁に炭車に駕して　氷轍を輾く

牛は困れ人は飢え　日已に高く

市の南門の外　泥中に歇む

翩翩たる両騎　来るは是れ誰ぞ

黄衣の使者　白衫の児

手に文書を把りて　口に勅と称し

車を廻らし牛を叱し　牽きて北に向かわしむ

一車の炭の重さ 千余斤

宮使駆り将てば　惜しみ得ず

半疋の紅紗　一丈の綾

牛頭に繫けて　炭の直に充つ

The album is structured in two parts: Side A (1-8) features a musical ode celebrating the joy of sound, while Side B (9-17) continues the conscious themes introduced in the lead single "Ideologist."
In addition to his longtime collaborator NaBTok, the album includes contributions from various artists such as Sarukichi, Livingdead, and Jackie Gen from Kyoto, as well as DJ KENSEI, alled, COBA5000, and Earth Palette from outside the city.
Moreover, a diverse array of session musicians, including SIMIZ from SOFT, Eiji Suzuki from Dachambo, and Shoichi Murakami from Kobeta Piano, have lent their unique sounds to the project. The featured vocalists include distinctive talents like RHYDA, fuyuco., and KOKORO STAR.
