Nami Hotatsu, a singer/pianist who has been performing at Organic Music Live 2 at the end of 2022 since almost 10 years, and is now creating more updated Gaia music as the unit Aurora Argentea with sho (japanese traditional instrument) player Ko Ishikawa. She has released her CD album on Green Energy in 1994. This is the first analog version of it. This is a masterpiece of Japanese ambient house music, with rhythmic sound production mainly using synthesizers and drum machines, layered with Houtatsu’s clear, beautiful, and lustrous vocalizations. A2, a killer tune made famous mainly in the U.S. by Japanese DJ Mori Ra's heavy playing, and B1, a tranquil spread of the serene world that has been inherited from Hotatsu’s recent works, are also excellent.
A2: へび Like a snake
B1: Fossils of childhood
