*2023 stock. 200 copies limited release* Chiho Oka is a computer music player and sound artist. Aoi Tagami specializes in improvised voice performance and is also a singer-songwriter, performing songs with her own lyrics and music. A solo CD by each of these artists, produced as part of the "Ftarri Fukubukuro CD 2021" series, was presented to those who attended concerts at Ftarri in the 2020/2021 New Year period. Released for sale to the public in February 2021, the CDs are Chiho Oka's "Manipulating Automated Manipulated Automation" (hitorri-882) and Aoi Tagami's "LIVE on October 26, 2020" (ftarri uta 221).

Oka (laptop, synthesizer) and Tagami (voice, singing, electric guitar) gave a duo concert at Ftarri on January 3, 2021, as one in that year’s “New Year Concerts with Ftarri Fukubukuro CD.” The collaboration was so great that it resulted in this CD release, which consists of a 22-minute improvised performance from the first set (track 1) and a 25-minute piece called “Hanafuda Game” from the second set (track 2). On stage in the latter performance, each musician drew a "hanafuda" card and the two simultaneously performed separate pieces inspired by words written on their respective cards. Their conversations in the intervals on this track are recorded as well, so listeners can enjoy the atmosphere of the "hanafuda" game.
