The album was produced by Moss (https://twitter.com/K_G_Seagull), who also plays as a support guitarist in live performances, and with his new ideas and expression, he gives all the tracks a thickness of sound that cannot be expressed by singing alone.

Takkun (https://twitter.com/takkunmilkcrazy), who has participated as a rhythm support in all three of the past solo live performances without an audience and this is his second recording, once again gives the songs a hot pulse and groove, making a strong impression as the key to the sound composition.

This year, mayumi (https://twitter.com/mayumi210129), who began preparing to resume activities as the vocalist of the rock band grandcanyons, adds a touch of elegance to this album with her transparent and endless chorus, as she did in the previous three albums.

Following "Daijobu," Yao-born pianist Tetsuya Hirahata has once again participated in this album, and "Jurokuya - Piano Version" has been included. Hirahata's piano, who has supported recordings and live performances for Yu Takahashi, CreepHyp, Yorushika, Ikimonogakari, and others, is a must-listen.

In addition, Hirahata's keyboard harmonica has been added to "Daijobu - Piano Version" released in 2021, and the vocals have also been re-recorded to create a "retake".

The director is Kenji Mitsunaga of OHAYO Recording Studio (https://twitter.com/StudioOhayo), who has been in charge of the sound sources for all four works and is able to create sounds that are listened to with a precise sound composition with his experience and knowledge. He also participated in this work as a chorus.

Mastering was also handled by Kenji Hamada of OHAYO Recording Studio, who gives the songs a consistent sound field throughout all of his works and an exquisite balance that makes you want to listen to them again and again, for the fourth consecutive work.

This time, as it is the 10th anniversary of their activities, a two-disc limited edition made to order will also be released.
In addition to the 8 songs included in the regular version, the album comes with a live recording of 12 best takes from live performances without an audience over the past three years (approximately 60 minutes long), as well as a not-for-sale pick. (The 2-disc limited edition is no longer accepting orders. Sold out.)
