    Great when I want to relax and lose myself in the music. The sound is ethereal, calming, and just very soothing.

    Very nice overall. I love to just sit back and listen with my eyes clothes. It's a bit of a magical experience.

    this album is so beautiful, soft voice, phenomenal instrumentals, melodies, lyrics... i feel in a field full of flowers all around, clean air, friendly people, peace and love! These among other millions of things I feel when I'm listening to this album, I feel connected to nature.

    a landscape, an aquatic world to be lost within, and one from which you’ll scarcely want to emerge.j

    From Prologue, with its deep drone, wash of waves and circling, priestessly choral voices to the closing Adan no Shima no Tanjyosai and its sparsely plucked guitar and elegiac strings and flute, the album casts a still, soothing spell.

    Aoba's hushed voice makes for an immersive meld of indie-folk, classical and jazz. [Jan 2022, p.91]

    Exquisitely crafted, lightly experimental chamber-folk album. [Jan 2022, p.21]
