The word "Hyottoko" comes from a man who builds a fire in a bath or kamado (a kiln), and due to his unique appearance, it is said that he appeared as an entertainer at "Matsuri" (traditional Japanese Festivals) throughout Japan and entertained people. Acknowledging his heavy yet light-hearted presence in our lives, DJ KENSEI, Goro the Vibratian, YUKKO! and Hon Da Q brought their own music, or lives, to create this song without any prior discussions, and it became a magnificent suite of music expressing full of tenderness and joy that celebrates human life.
