ZERO #1: ZERO #2

[Machine Translation] ( This product is a cassette tape. Only cassette-only devices can play this product. ) The "ZERO" series of mini-albums began production in December 2017, and the "ZERO #1", released in March 2020, and the new "ZERO #2" have been combined into one cassette album for the first time in their career. The 24 basic tracks, most of which were in the repertoire at the time, were recorded in two days on a hard disk MTR in 2017, and the production process has been intermittent since then, but the tracks have been gradually layered. The production continued in the form of gradually layering sounds on those tracks, although intermittently. During this time, Ba. and Vo. Murakami moved to Kyushu, but they continued recording little by little through data exchange and live performances in Tokyo, and finally released the six newly completed tracks as "ZERO #2"! The first release of many songs that have been well-received at live performances, such as "Firefly," which depicts a faint scene in one's late teens, and "Night Pool," sung by Murakami, are now available for the first time! The artwork for this special cassette was originally designed for this release, and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we did. About the "ZERO" series: Following the release of their first album "classicus is not like that" (released in 2016), the band tried to make a second album, but it didn't work out. The series of sessions started with the theme of going back to "0" (ZERO) before "1" and making a ZERO album.
