A mix CD by singer/pianist Nami Hotatsu, who delivered a stunning live performance after nearly a decade at Organic Music Live 2 in late 2022 and now creates even more evolved Gaia-inspired music as part of the unit Aurora Argentea with sho player Takashi Ishikawa. This CD features the audio broadcast on the internet radio program Rare Charm/Particle FM on August 28, 2024. It includes a selection of tracks chosen, remixed, and re-edited by Nami Hotatsu herself, encompassing unreleased songs by both Nami Hotatsu and Aurora Argentea (including works from the Let There Be Light era). Inspired by traditional Japanese rituals, the tracks follow a thematic flow of "purification, prayer, kagura, tranquility, and healing." The set comes with the CD and an art booklet containing a list of all 18 tracks.
