The final single released by the solitary musician Tomo Akikawabaya in 1986. Side A features “Ray,” a modern classical-style piece composed of swirling piano and profound soundscapes reflecting the intense emotions of a deeply disillusioned period, as documented in his own writings. Side B "Kojiki To Onna" which shares the same name as Kaita Murayama's work and uses violin to create an experimental and decadent atmosphere. A rare limited edition of 300 copies, featuring two intriguing tracks that stand apart from his previous style.

孤高の音楽家 秋川早友が86年に残した最後のシングル。自身の手記にもあるように深く失望した時期に重なるあらゆる情感が渦巻くようなピアノと深遠なサウンドで構成されたモダン・クラシカル風”Ray”をA面。村山槐多の作品と同名の、ヴァイオリンを用いた実験的かつ退廃的な空気を醸し出す”Kojiki To Onna”をB面。それまでの作風とは一線を画す興味深い二曲を収録した限定300部の稀少盤。

A - Ray

B - Kojiki To Onna
