Serene state of mind

In this February, S.L.T. made a release of "Anthology", best collection consisted of five CDs.
Now, on July 29, 2015, Chikuzen made a release of best collection of his solo works.
This collection consists of two discs:
New songs are included in both discs.
One is a collection of songs from his three solo albums "Fact of Life" "Okra", and "Indigo".
Another is a collection of collaboration works.
Chikuzen has performed together with various musicians at recordings, not only at live performance.
Senior musicians who have influenced him a lot, such as Masaki Matsubara and Kazumasa Oda,
Bright hopes like Harumi Tsuyuzaki -this year is 20th anniversary of her career, but when she recorded "In This Love" with Chikuzen, she was a newcomer.
Musicians from different fields, such as Yuu Watanabe and Yuu Hatakeyama.
On the official site of record company, Chikuzen places statement about those musicians he performed together with:
As he looks back his career, he realizes that how great people he has performed together with.
At the same time, they are ordinary people -he feels like going for a drink together and performing together again and again.
Although it can be a collision of personality to perform and collaborate with different people,
Performers' kindness and affection can turn such competition into good intensity, because they all want to make listeners and themselves smile in the end.

As well as "Anthology", old songs in this collection are remastered new with the latest technology by Stephen Marcussen.

Recently, market of music distribution is growing rapidly.
Chikuzen said that he wants to leave trajectory of S.L.T. and himself with media of CDs while he can.
