Introduction: Formed in 2023, this 5-member band is based in Aichi Prefecture. True to their name, they parallel music with mountaineering, performing live shows in mountain huts at around 3,000 meters altitude. Composer Tomoyuki Oda's genre-fusing, free-spirited music stimulates listener imagination, providing stories that evoke nature, while Hina’s emotionally rich, transparent voice provides a 'breeze-like' feeling. Their 'Mountain' × 'Music' concept is truly unique. This album, their 'super best' compilation, contains 14 tracks, including the new song 'Breathe' and the streaming-exclusive 'Hibana'.
Buyer Comment: A band that lives up to their name by performing shows on mountain tops! This first, self-titled album is a culmination of their 3-year history—a musical journey felt through the wind.
