The instrumental rework of "energy flow" by U-zhaan & Ryuichi Sakamoto, "energy flow - rework", and "energy bath" based on the instrumental with rap by ROY TANROY and DOPENESS CHINZA, have been newly interpreted for this 12-inch version, and two songs have been newly recorded for this release. It was released as a new 12-inch with 4 tracks! The original as well as the new new version, the piano ambient tabla electronica meets poetry future modern A2 "Natural Energy Bath" (sample 3) are wonderful.
Track List

Ryuichi Sakamoto's song "energy flow" was released in 1999, triggering the "healing" boom of the time and becoming the first instrumental single in history to reach No. 1 on the Oricon charts. In the fall of 2018, some 20 years later, Ryuichi Sakamoto himself and tabla player U-zhaan made a new arrangement of "energy flow - rework" (sample 2), which is included on the B-side of this album. The sound is euphoric, with avant-garde distorted guitars echoing beautifully over the melodic tabla loops that offer the ultimate in healing. On A1, U-zhaan, who had the idea of putting rap on "energy flow - rework" from the beginning, summoned ROY KAN and DOPENESS CHINZA to participate as a new interpretation of the rap version of "bath," which was released on April 26, 2019 (good bath day) and received a great response. The song includes A1 "Energy Bath" (sample 1), the best "bath hymn" that creates a new groove with its innovative lyric on the subject of "bath" and the accented flow of both rappers. In addition to these two songs, the 12-inch release also includes two new tracks recorded for this release: "Flowers" by Asa-Chang & Pilgrimage, which is reminiscent of piano, ambient, tabla, and electronica meets "poetry future," and "Energy Bath" (sample 1), which is a new groove created by both rappers. It even includes the poetry-future modern A2 "Natural Energy Bath" (sample3) and the YMO unique bath cover B1 "Technopolis". Clear vinyl 12" (45rpm) with careful and excellent binding, lyric card enclosed. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
