You will be able to feel the "current" Chanty just by listening to this album. The band was formed on July 10, 2013, led by Vo. Akuto. The band's name "Chanty" originally means a rhythmical labor song sung by boatmen. As the name "Chanty" implies, the members of the band, who have been saved from any hardship by the power of music, think of the band itself as a ship, and the name was given with the hope of delivering songs like a compass to everyone involved in Chanty. The songs are thrilling, and the arrangements are outlandish, leaving a strong impression on the listener. In contrast to the current sound compositions that are mainly synchronized, the simple and minimalistic approach of the band's members shows the high level of their expressive abilities. In their live performances, they skillfully manipulate stillness and movement to create a tense and thrilling stage presence, creating an overwhelming worldview. Vo. Akuto's vocal ability, expressiveness, and melody-making are unmatched by other vocalists, and his lyrics, spun from his unique worldview, vividly color Chanty's worldview. Chitose, the guitarist, is known for his delicate guitar phrases, which add a touch of flair to the music, as well as his intense stage presence, which seems to be possessed by something, and is also a sound-maker. Chitose plays a central role in Chanty's sound production, and is so trusted by the band that she is referred to as "Mama. Taku Nonaka, the tight-playing but intense stage presence, is the leader of Chanty, with a wealth of ideas for artwork. Dr. Narihito leads the band with his steady drumming, which creates a unique groove that is one of Chanty's characteristics. His leadership skills and human nature make him a pillar of Chanty.
