about

These are demo takes of "Azul" released only on vinyl record (currently out of print) from PSF Records in 2009. The track order is based on vinyl. Only 05 is the version of it. PSF lost the original master used to press. Now I regret that I gave it to them without leave a copy.
The two songs 05 and 06 are the same files include on my "An Anthology".
I hope you enjoy!

Dedicate to an eternal friend, Masaaki Motoyama. He gave me a lot of inspiration.

"AZUL" -- This project's name is AZU + L, which is the combination of Usui / L, and Motoyama who lived in "Azumino (northern part of Nagano prefecture)". Of course azul means blue, my favorite music "BLUES".
