Quiet Sun by The Factors
This concept album was created by linking an original film scenario by filmmaker and violinist Nao Nakazawa, paintings by Kariya-based artist Mariko Okamoto, and music by vocalist SAKi and the factors, led by Jody, who is known for his work with TENGAKU DUB. The album is recorded by the same members who participated in the first "Tree of Life", the second "Cosmic flight", and TENGAKU DUB's works. The album features Yusaku Yoshimura, a Boston-based multi-instrumentalist who has toured with Kiddus-I and Earl Chinna Smith, Yoshio Tony Kobayashi, drummer for AKOYA AFRO BEAT in New York, and Kotori, bassist of the Babylon Panic band.
