近田ゆうきの６年ぶりとなる待望の3rdアルバム。
感情に寄り添った楽曲たちが、心象風景となって映し出される。
ボーナストラックは、敬愛するアーティスト、玉置浩二の楽曲『悲しみにさよなら』のカバーを収録。
静謐な音のしずくが波紋のように広がり、心に深く染み入る癒しの逸品。
レビュー：原田和典（MUSIC MAGAZINE 2020年4月号掲載より一部抜粋 ）

プリンスがキャンディス・スプリングスに寄せた賛辞「雪を溶かすようば温かな歌声」を思い出す。
ヴォーカルには心の凝りをそっと解きほぐすようなぬくもりがあり、ガットギターの刻みもこよなく美しい。

In 2014, he made his major debut with his second album, "Light of May" (a collection of original Japanese songs). In 2020, he released his third album, "Ripples." In 2023, he released his fourth album, "Kazauta," nationwide. In 2024, he released his fifth album, "Singing Miyazawa Kenji." In September 2015, as part of the 120th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Brazil, he held a concert at the local IMA Hall (capacity 500 people) with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Brazilian Embassy in Japan, which was well received. In recent years, he has also been active as a singer-songwriter, expressing his own unique worldview with his roots in bossa nova. He performs in a variety of locations, including temples, old houses, galleries, art museums, and buildings designated as tangible cultural properties, and is also active in collaborating with yoga, recitation, dancers, and theater. He has performed live with James Onoda (Kome Kome Club), Kensaku Tanigawa, and many other artists, and has also written songs for them.
