*Limited Edition* Pianist Shoji Aketagawa, the creative force behind the consistently unconventional Aketa's Disc label, presents an album with an unusual title that aligns with the label's distinctiveness. The material, while not explicitly erotic or grotesque, showcases Shoji's beautiful and robust notes on several solo tracks. The album takes a unique turn as Shoji collaborates with the trio on the final tune, offering a quality unlike any other artist we can think of. The piano, possessing the richness of a grand piano combined with the stiffness of an upright, creates an instantly distinct atmosphere, captivating listeners in a manner akin to Jaki Byard, despite the considerable differences in their styles. With titles in Japanese, the set includes seven tracks.
