Second album from the Gender Sanshin Trio, featuring Wataru Kosaka (sanshin) Ryosen Kamejima (gender- Indonesian metalic gamelan) Kengo Sakamoto (fretless bass) plus guest musicians on sax, darbucka and cajon. The album was recorded live at various locations which adds an interesting natural ambience including an appreciative crowd at a school. Some tracks are a laid back mix of the three main instruments, with the sanshin picking out the melody to the lilting accompaniment of gendang, while darbucka and cajon add driving rhythms on others. Elsewhere, various electronic effects are added and saxophone creates a jazzy feel. A mixture of original tunes, well known Okinawan songs and a Javanese traditional tune. 9 tracks.
