The modal jazz of "Fukushima" is led by a flowing piano, "Float In Oriental Spring" has an oriental feel, "Silent Night" has a pleasant groove created by a tight rhythm and a supple bass line, and "Soprano Soprano" has an elegant string sound and a soprano soprano soprano soprano soprano soprano. The classical 'Nobody Knows' blends elegant strings with a soprano saxophone and 'Perspective' is a spiritual jazz piece with sharp percussion. This is a superb album of sophistication and passion, built by the Sinsuke Fujieda Group.
