This work is an impressive piece with an open and delicate sound that makes the most of the outdoor recording, and the organic ensemble that is unique to the Shuta Hasunuma Philharmonic Orchestra is made to feel even more lively. Recording and mixing were handled by Jiro Kubo and Toshihiko Kasai.
"Vanish, Memoria" was originally recorded in the concert performance "Memories | Vanish, Memoria" held at Ebisu Garden Hall in December 2022 and is included in the solo album "unpeople" released in 2023. It has been continuously taking shape and taking action. Now, in 2025, the members of Shuta Hasunuma Philharmonic Orchestra will record this song in one take in the open air, and release it as an "open-air recording version."
All profits, minus the technical costs of producing the music and artwork, will be donated to organizations supporting the Gaza Strip in Palestine. We are currently considering the recipient and will make an announcement once it has been decided.
