This is a project by Takayuki Hashiguchi, who is not only a leading musician but also a beat maker with a focus on HipHop, in which he fuses traditional Japanese instruments with various beats in a borderless manner. It features top-notch Japanese music players at the forefront, and uses freshly-recorded performances, not sampled material, as a lavish source of material. The beats blended and reconstructed from the perspective of both taiko drummers and beatmakers are a must-listen to.

The first one features Tsugaru shamisen player Michiaki Shirata as a guest on three lyrical pieces.
