In Japanese, humans are expressed using two Chinese characters.
One means "Human" the other means "Between". Humans are creatures that do not live by themselves, but by interacting with many others.
In this album, I tried to express through tunes how people meet, part, and then meet again.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the wonderful violinists and sound engineers who collaborated with me on this project.
I live in the northern part of Hokkaido, Japan, and spend my days composing music, playing in a jazz band, and holding musical workshops for the townspeople. Yamame trout swim in the river in the town where I live, and deer, foxes, and rabbits pass by my house. You can even meet bears if you walk a little bit. I would like to express spontaneously musically all the scenes that I feel from the animals that live close to me and the overwhelming workings of Mother Nature. I hope it touches someone's heart.
