父が危篤という知らせを聞いて実家に戻り、父を見送るまでの10日間。父の周りを家族や孫が囲んで、最期の時まで一緒に過ごした、心温まる思い出を曲にしました。(MONKY)

レコーディングはメンバー4人による一発録り。

バンドならではの一体感と臨場感のあるエネルギッシュな録音を収録。

ミックスは内田直之が手がけ、大胆かつグルーヴィーなミックスに仕上がりました。

マスタリングは巨匠・田中三一が担当し、立体感と心地よい音圧で自然に身体を揺らします。

「ベットに寝たまま空に飛び立っていくように思えた。」というMONKYのイメージを素敵なアートワークで表現してくれたのはイラストレーター、苦虫ツヨシ。

【Music Description】

The 10 days between receiving the news of my father’s critical illness and seeing him off at the end of his life.

The song is based on the heartwarming memories of family and grandchildren surrounding my father and spending time with him until his final days.(MONKY)

The recording was a one-shot recording by the four members.

The result is an energetic recording with a sense of unity and realism that only a band can achieve.

Naoyuki Uchida was in charge of mixing, resulting in a bold and groovy mix.

Mastering is handled by maestro Mitsukazu Tanaka, and fits comfortably on the floor or for listening.

It seemed to me as if I were flying away into the sky while lying in bed.” The illustrator Tsuyoshi Nigamushi expressed this image of MONKY in his wonderful artwork.
