Since 1991,
on almost every Wednesday,
I play at 'Hibarigaoka Gakuen' in Yokohama, Japan.
It is one of the oldest & largest homes for retarded children.

Every time,
same room,
same temperature,
same illuminance,
same curtain time,
and,
I play a completely different exprovisation,
at maximum volume.

There are 20 - 30 children in front of me,
they have really serious multiple handicaps,
they have no words,
hard to communicate with,
someone is dancing,
someone is shouting,
someone is laughing,
someone is meditating,
everyone is enjoying in every way,
complete freely,
me too.

We call it "Niko-Niko-Ongakukai",
it means "The Concert In Great Delight".

One of my best friends,
Takehito Nakazato,
he is a great musician named "Dub Sonic".

One day,
Takehito experienced "Niko-Niko-Ongakukai",
of course,
he enjoyed it with the handicapped children,
after the show,
he said to me,
"JINMO, we must make a recording so people outside of the home can enjoy
the same as the
children",
so,
he recorded it,
and,
made the CD album.
He named it "hibarigaoka".
He drew the cover art by himself.
He released it through his own label "F.E.E.S." 2000-12-19,
with his own money,
yes,
he loves "hbarigaoka".
He died on 2004-09-27.

So,
I say to him,
"Takehito, now those people outside of the home can enjoy the same as the
children with the download released worldwide today",
everybody.
All notes were recorded exactly as played with just one guitar on stage,
there's no editing,
no over dubs,
no sequencers,
no MIDI guitars or any synths.
This album is the pure guitar solo live documentary,
recorded at "Hibarigaoka Gakuen" Yokohama, Japan,
2000-09-12.

Please enjoy in great delight.
