Description:
Sweden × Japan A Fusion Band Featuring the Best of Both Countries Makes Its Debut From Sweden, the lineup includes Henrik Linder, bassist for Dirty Loops, and saxophonist Björn Alko, who is also a member of Billy Cobham’s band. From Japan, the lineup features Chisato Kawaguchi—who receives constant offers not only domestically but also from overseas artists and drum festivals—and Akito Shirai, who performs across genres, including as a session musician for LiSA and T-SQUARE. The band’s name is formed by combining the initials of the four members’ last names. Their debut tour in September 2025 was completely sold out. This album was recorded at a studio in Sapporo following the conclusion of that tour. The album is centered around original compositions by Björn Alko and Akito Shirai. It is a work that allows listeners to fully enjoy not only the individual members’ exceptional playing techniques but also the band’s meticulous ensemble work. Björn Arko: tenor saxophone, NuRad Henrik Linder: electric bass Akito Shirai: piano, keyboards Chisato Kawaguchi: drums ★Recorded on September 24 and 25, 2025, at Geimori Studio in Sapporo
