With the support of e-mura, who was in charge of the production at that time, this work is a collaboration with Ah's ally, YAMA (SWEET-TING), a female reggae selector and track maker who continues to promote the Tokyo japarege scene. Inatch from hybrid niya bingi band Yant Izez has been brought to SAX, and it is a new and beautiful song that feels deep inside your body.
Recommended comment from SISTER KAYA
"When it was first produced 25 years ago, this song was a friendly and lovely candy voice, but over time it has been brought back to the present by a collaboration with YAMA from SWEET-TING.
Ah's constant candy voice has increased in depth, and to my ears it sounds like a beautiful, sweet, vintage voice like Hortense Ellis or Marie Pierre, which is very charming and comforting. "
