This was introduced in the guidebook "OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION". It was released in 1978 with music by Yuji Takahashi and songs by Chinatsu Nakayama, based on poems written by Masashi Oka, a boy who committed suicide by throwing himself to his death in 1975. Takahashi and Masahiko Sato play synthesizers, and Shigeo Suzuki, Masaoki Terakawa, and Yoshisaburo Toyozumi participate as live instrumentalists. The music is composed based on the rhythmic patterns of Korean music, such as A6 and B2, which were covered by Akiko Yano on her album "Brooch," as well as melodies from Changdang and Korean folk songs, and features primitive percussion rhythms, light flutes, and analog instruments including a Korg polyphonic ensemble. The melody of the sine wave by analog synthesizers including Korg polyphonic ensemble, and Chinatsu Nakayama's expressive vocals vividly express the world of Masashi Oka's original poetry in this wonderful work.
