Tracklist:
01.Jinro (Werewolf) "Who can I trust? Realizing I'm 'disillusioned with humanity,' I started doubting everything you said."
02.Star "Stop with the bittersweet smile, even if you're afraid to be honest."
03.Tokyo Blues "You, who have developed a habit of seeking others' misfortune, causing hysterics. A pandemic of envy and jealousy, your ugly truth, are you aware?"
04.Esame Fisico This track, meaning "health checkup" in Spanish, tells a story that unfolds simultaneously in an operating room and a treatment room. It embodies the dual meaning of being "kept alive" and "revived." The intense guitar throughout is played by veteran hardcore band NUMB's NASTUO.
05.Kuchiyakusoku (Verbal Promise) Written by the up-and-coming artist Yuki Takei, this song candidly portrays Hideyoshi's journey with her same-sex partner, from their meeting to current episodes and future anxieties. "Discussing our future, but it's only a verbal promise... why is that?"

    After gaining studio experience in Tokyo and LA, I started Studio Decibel in 2008. The beats I create are based on a wide range of musical knowledge, spanning genres such as Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, and R&B. These beats are popular for meeting the needs of artists and clients while providing fresh inspiration. My engineering skills in recording sessions are highly regarded for bringing out the best in an artist's natural talent. I possess a broad range of knowledge and techniques, from mixing down with an overseas Hip Hop approach to tailoring mixes for the Japanese market, always delivering beyond clients' expectations. Additionally, I release tracks under the name ONODUB on my own label, featuring various guest artists. Recently, I have also released numerous instrumental beats under the alias Cavo Tagood and have performed on major stages as a live support member for the urban hardcore band "Wangan no Hitsuji," exploring new frontiers in my career.
