Numerous Noh stages still remain in each village, and Noh plays and Onidaiko drums are still a part of life on Sado Island, along with its rich natural environment surrounded by mountains and the sea. This compilation album was produced to document the music and people of Sado Island as it will exist in 2025. The album features solos by Yuta Sumiyoshi and Junko Maeda, both important members of the taiko performing arts group Kodo, which transcends tradition to explore new horizons; the group Sadram, which creates its own grooves by making its own bamboo drums from moso bamboo native to Sado; Nozomu Sato, a musician with a versatile compositional sense that ranges from pop to avant-garde music; and The group "Plantar", a musician Nozomu Sato with a versatile sense of composition from pop to avant-garde, "Gilles Stassard", a chef/artist who runs a restaurant "La Pagod" on Sado Island and tries to fuse food and art, "Charles Munka", an artist who sublimates test writings from around the world into art works and creates ambient mixes based on the theme of Noh, and "Sado Island Galaxy Art Festival", a pioneer of the Sado Island Galaxy Art Festival, who is also a radical artist in his own right. Moriyuki Yoshida, a cutting-edge contemporary artist and leader of the Sado Island Galaxy Art Festival; Kota Aoki, who creates paintings and experimental music from an original perspective and aesthetic; Miyuki Fukunishi, who has been active in music since the 1990s and has recently been expanding new compositional possibilities using a laptop; ukulele player Yuka and John Zorn, the leader of Tzadik. The Blowfish Plan?" is a unit of ukulele player Yuka and bass player Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz, who is also known for his releases on Tzadik, which is led by John Zorn. and a total of 10 groups have gathered here.
