Comment
(I'm a fan of HATENKOHRO. lol)
The collaborate with them was my hope so when I asked to talk about participating in the album this time by HATENKOHRO, I immediately replied.
I'm looking forward to hearing their songs every time,
Example, "What kind of song is it every time you listen to the album or song of HATENKOHRO?" "Is it an arrangement?" and so on.
But this album goes far beyond that imagination.
In the Jonkara-bushi song bullets that I participated in, there are no rules regarding measures or speed, and the performance is improvised.
Therefore, when playing with other instruments, there are many points to consider, such as measures and speed but this time, I was told "Please play freely ♪", so I played as usual without worrying about it at all.
I think that this work is the result of the superimposition of the improvisational Jongara-bushi, the terrible arrangement of the heavenly route, and the hot performance.
This works will betray your imagination.
You should listen to "Unprecedented"!

Comment from Ayanaha Fukuda
It was a great honor for me to say, "I want you to enjoy drawing as much as possible."
Ms. Hananomoto has been watching the illustration posts on my SNS for a long time and she requested me to the jacket illustration candidate for the new mini album. I'm amazed at present day internet world!
During the production, I saw the music and activities of HATENKOHRO,
I was surprised and sympathized with the great love for Japanese culture and the way it sublimated.
I heard a scream that "What we like is so cool!" in their works.
And I wanted to answer "I know this feeling!" loudly.
When asked about the characteristics of the members, they seemed to have different personalities and temperaments.
Plenty of wonderful personality that makes you think it's a cartoon character.
It was so much fun and I became to feel just like my character.
The songs of "FURUSATO" is nostalgic but new
A mysterious throbbing springs up comfortably in the bottom of my stomach.
I felt it was such a piece.
I hope people will love the jacket illustrations as well as the music.
