2009, Riversidemall

This 6-track mini-mixtape reflects AON's life and creative process rooted in his hometown of Gifu.Rather than just standard rap storytelling, the endless riverbanks and roadside spots mentioned in his songs project his inner thoughts and raw feelings as a local citizen."I started making music alone and struggled alone in these very places, which made me realize how important it is to cherish my hood," AON says.Riversidemall takes its name from a massive shopping complex that actually existed in Motosu City, Gifu Prefecture, until 2010.
