[Full throttle on every track.] Thrilling and unpredictable! Aggressive piano entertainment that will overwhelm the listener. Pianist Sumi Wataru, who has an overwhelming presence on YouTube and street pianos, has finally completed his first self-cover album! The theme of this work is "RIDE (vehicles)." From the ever-changing, virtuosic "Rolling Coaster," to the heart-pounding "TAKE OFF!!," the aggressively depicting the hustle and bustle of the city in "Rush Hour," and the wanderlust-inducing "Night Bus Song," to the locally-loving "ROUTE170" and "Sunrise Driveway," the excitement will hit you like riding one amusement park ride after another! A rapid-fire exchange of melodies that never slows down for a single moment. Be captivated by the unfolding sounds, where you never know what will come next! The most exciting musical journey begins here.
