A self-released album by OTOFŪKEI, a group consisting of a vocalist, electric bassist, and guitarist, supplemented by a drummer and a keyboardist, recorded between 1981 and 1982. While there are hints that the members may have been high school students, the exact details remain unknown. The collection includes tracks rooted in folk and rock that reveal a genuine sense of artistry, even among the amateur contributors. Standouts include "Kage Wo Daite" a contemporary/new age-inflected folk-rock piece, and "Subete No Omoi Wo" which leans into a melancholic, soft-rock style. The entire album is quite good.

ヴォーカル、エレクトリック・ベース、ギターの三人編成にドラムとキーボードのメンバーを加えたグループOTOFŪKEIによる81年～82年の間に録音された自主制作盤。高校生らしき情報もありますが詳細は不明。ですがアマチュアの中にもセンスを感じさせるフォーク～ロックベースの楽曲を収録。中でもコンテンポラリー～ニューエイジタイプのフォーク・ロック・”翳を抱いて”や哀愁系のソフトロック調”すべての想いを”は白眉。全編悪くないです。
