NTsKi 2nd album. The field-recorded sounds of nature, the fluctuating rhythms and voices, and the organic sound are warm and intimate, while NTsKi's distinctive melancholic voice reminds one of nostalgia and good old-fashioned Japanese songs. Throughout entire album, more Japanese lyrics are used than ever before. The songs contain words to express feelings, memories, and love for her mother as she traces her happy memories from her childhood to the present after her beloved mother passed away last year. An album capturing love is delivered to the world, where each listener can feel intimacy with their own experience.
