Around October 2024 in Tokyo, I was invited to meet Ye for the first time through a friend. It was supposed to be just one night of freely adding arrangements that came to mind for an album right before its release, but I ended up participating in the album and helping with live instrument recording. In the end, it seems five of our recordings were used. Thank you to all the musicians who put in so much effort despite the tight schedule.
It was a precious experience. Recording and arranging while being the first to hear Ye's new songs was a joyful time. Gratitude to Jamil for making this opportunity possible.
Ye, congratulations on the release.

At first I was suposed to add some ideas with guitar and keys for just one night, but before I knew it, I ended up contributing to the album in Live instrument recording. In the end, it seems five of the tracks we worked on made it in the album. Huge thanks to all the musicians who gave their time and effort despite the tight schedule.
getting to immerse myself in his new music, was pure bliss.
