The highly anticipated second installment of the immensely popular series that dominated charts is finally complete! World-class anime x jazz Japanese anime has now become a symbol of Cool Japan. In this album, famous songs that have brought tears to the eyes of anime fans around the world are reconstructed into cutting-edge European jazz by Swedish melody house producer Rasmus Faber and the country's top jazz musicians! Furthermore, the artwork and illustrations are by Kenichi Yoshida, a popular animator who worked on \"Only Yesterday,\" \"Porco Rosso,\" and \"Princess Mononoke\" during his time at Studio Ghibli, and has since worked on character designs for popular works such as \"Eureka Seven\" and \"OVERMAN King Gainer\" after going freelance. The musical cultures of Scandinavia and Japan are now meeting in a miraculous encounter! Album Overview Based on over 150 candidate songs, this album was created over several months with the theme of \"maximizing the beauty of uniquely Japanese melodies,\" selecting the best tracks, finalizing the arrangements for each song, and recording them in Sweden. Some of the most brilliant songs that shine brightly in the history of Japanese anime have been wonderfully reborn as \"sweet,\" \"catchy,\" and \"romantic\" jazz. The participating musicians include jazz pianist Martin Persson, whom Rasmus praises as \"the reincarnation of Bill Evans,\" and a gathering of highly skilled Japanese musicians! Vocalist Emily McEwan, who sang on Rasmus's mega-hit songs \"Ever After\" and \"Are You Ready,\" participates on three tracks. As a result, it developed into an unprecedented big project involving top musicians from across Sweden! It has received high praise from anime and jazz media, as well as from the artists who composed the original songs, setting it apart from other cover albums! Media reviews and more: Legendary anime songs are given brilliant jazz arrangements by Rasmus Faber, the beautiful melody producer from Scandinavia! Includes tracks such as \"Skies of Love\" (from \"Legend of the Galactic Heroes\"), \"Aimo ~Bird Person~\" (from \"Macross Frontier\"), \"Akatsuki no Kuruma\" (from \"Mobile Suit Gundam SEED\"), and \"Tamashii no Rufuran\" (from \"Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death \u0026amp; Rebirth\").
