This new album was recorded at studio near Lake Yamanaka on another end of June, season of new green leaves, just 4years after the recording of previous album“LUZ DO SOL * Gentle Rain”. During this new recording, I had lovely and wonderful days there. We recorded songs written by myself, some Japanese songs, American, and Brazilian. I believe our music touches the heartstrings of an audience. Thank you for enjoying our works ! September, 2022
