Content and inclusion
An acoustic adaptation album by Leaf/AQUAPLUS in collaboration with Elements Garden, released on November 28, 2007. Four songs performed by Suara on the ten tracks, with "POWDER SNOW" included here as an acoustic cover; There are also six uncredited arrangements.
Selected and arranged pieces
The tracklist includes works such as "ToHeart," "ToHeart2," "The Legendary Thing," "Tears to Tiara," "WHITE ALBUM," and "Lock." Noriyasu Uematsu, Junpei Fujita, and Hitoshi Fujima were responsible for the different arrangements with clear repertoire; The four songs signed by Suara are "Dream Song," "POWDER SNOW," "Kimigatame," and "Zodiac."
Creating concepts
Naoya Shimokawa hopes to introduce listeners familiar with game and anime music to adaptations centered around live instruments. He chose Elements Garden because the team had both experience in the same field and the ability to bring sounds different from AQUAPLUS's internal arrangements.
Arranging and recording
During the conversation, the two introduced methods of reducing the number of voices and highlighting the singer and each performer. Noriyasu Uematsu identified the string arrangement as a difficult point and also mentioned the use of shinobi, kena, and erhu in the project.
