A "dream of one cooking" is a dream of the short time between the cooking of rice--a dream that symbolizes the transience and beauty of this world.

It is a word that symbolizes the transience and beauty of this world.
In this piece, the shamisen sharply or delicately cuts into the sound world, interweaving the sharpness of funk and the shimmer of reggae.

The urban sophistication of the sound transcends tradition with a "fashionable" sensibility, inviting the listener on a nostalgic yet new sonic journey.

This is the forefront of "Japanese instruments and groove.
A vivid track that races by like a momentary dream.
