The first solo album from commmons, released in 2009. It was a quiet, all-instrumental work, and the first original solo album without any synthesizers. The album features mainly piano and nature sounds, with guests such as the British ancient music group Fretwork, sho player 東野珠実, and the Gagaku (Japanese ancient court music) group Nanto Koyokai, along with Keigo Oyamada, Hirotaka Shimizu, Ren Takada, Christian Fennesse, Rob Moose, and a variety of other string players from different genres. String players from a variety of genres have been invited. The album also includes "disko," "ice," and "glacier," which were strongly influenced by his experiences in the Arctic Circle, which he visited during the making of the album. The song "glacier" was later used in the film "The Revenant: The Resurrected" (Alejandro González Iñárritu: 2016). The CD comes in a "full artwork" version, with a booklet that includes text by the artist and photos taken in the Arctic Circle, The "Full Artwork" version was released in two versions: an inexpensive "packageless" version in a simple eco-friendly packaging.
