Introducing Sumiko Yoseyama's third album, released in November 1985. The renowned pianist, Mar Waldron, collaborated with her on the second album With Mar, and this time, they have created an intriguing work as a duo. Before recording, the two performed live at 5 venues, deepening their mental connection. Experiences of being two when it was shared by two culminated in a masterpiece, rivaling if not surpassing their previous collaboration.

Sumiko Yoseyama's vocals exude deep emotions and maturity in each song, vividly expressing the flavors of life. Mar Waldron's piano playing adds nuanced layers to the music, creating a harmonious blend of their talents. Their interplay, where they connect their hearts through music, is both beautiful and enjoyable. This album truly showcases a duo that touches the heart.

The selection of songs is mostly standards, but as with the previous two albums, they subtly incorporate excellent songs from popular music, expressing not only sweetness but also strength naturally, creating a remarkable work.

Three tracks from the analog album DUO 76/45, originally planned for the members of Denichi Kaden (First Family Electric), are included as bonus tracks. Don't miss DUO  the complete edition!!
