The long awaited first album from Hiro Kimura, one of the most in demand drummers of his generation in Japan!

This album shows Hiro's current standpoint displaying not only his foundation in jazz but also incorporates various elements such as pop music and Brazilian music.

Eight generational talents have joined the act including Kohei Ando (aka MELRAW) who has a widespread reputation from pop music to jazz, Akiha Nakashima whose first album is gaining attention, and Mao Soné who has been dubbed the "two way wonder of jazz" in his major label release and made a successful appearance at Blue Note Tokyo.
