"This is the soundtrack for (never existed)a summer vacation but definitely did. In the summer of 1998, I spent about a month in a small town somewhere with a sea and mountains. I experienced many things for the first time. I still can't forget it, and I still think about the summer. But I can't remember which town it was. Every summer reminds me, I travel around looking for that town, but I still can't find it. It's no wonder because it was a summer vacation that never existed. However, I have recovered pieces of memories in many towns. It must be because there is a common summer scenery in people. I'm sure I'll find that town as I continue my journey. Because this soundtrack exists. This is my summer vacation. This is my summer vacation."
"This album is background music when you are reading, studying, etc. And please fall asleep. The volume is set low, which is intended for music as background music. It is recommended that you listen to music indoors and in an environment where there are few people." - noda yûki "ddbb" by Osaka-based noda yûki is a cozy, introspective take on the minimal Japanese ambient/Kankyō Ongaku genre contextualized for a modern setting. As yûki says in the liner notes that accompany the album, he composes in this environmental vein, but instead imagines the experience of quietly sitting and working in a university library as opposed to the natural aesthetics that have come before it. Each song title uses an English or Japanese library classification, and the final product sounds akin to if "Music for 9 Postcards" - era Hiroshi Yoshimura was commissioned to make music for the Wii shop channel.
