Originally released in 1977 in an extremely limited edition of just 200 copies through Kojima Recordings, this deeply personal album has become one of the most elusive and sought-after private press records of its era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt just 20 years old, Honda left his home in Osaka after high school to travel and write songs, driven not by ambitions of a professional music career but by a simple desire to capture his music on record. The album was recorded in a makeshift studio inside a small room at a local textile factory owned by a friend’s family, with a group of local musicians helping bring his songs to life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the decades, the original pressing gradually disappeared into obscurity.
