The album includes multiple versions of the representative song "Ribbon." It contains live recordings from the 1995 "WORLD PEACE FESTA," as well as TATSUMAKI and Hazuki versions, allowing listeners to feel the breadth of the song as it is passed down. The Nagasaki Children's Choir and the Shin Fujin Chorus Hana no Wa also participate, layering "prayers" that transcend generations. The jacket conveys "the heart of Nagasaki wishing for a peaceful world without nuclear weapons." Peace begins with empathy for people's sorrow and suffering— This message is carefully expressed through sound and words in this work. Kenichi Maki was from Nagasaki. He continued to advocate for peace through his musical activities and passed away at the young age of 32 in 2002.
