The rhythms and laid back nature of the Caribbean Islands were the initial inspirations for this piece although the final song deviated somewhat from this idea.

Specifically composed for recording, this piece incorporates two shinobue, rei (Buddhist bell), three atarigane (brass hand gong), hand claps and a variety of taiko played in an uplifting and skippy fashion.
