Description

[edit]

After the release of Mint Jams, an album created to break into the European market, keyboardist Minoru Mukaiya traveled to Europe to show off the album. The band traveled to record in London, all members brought their instruments except for Sakurai, who left his "Milk-Bass" in Japan, and instead used a similar looking BB2000.
