Comment on the Album
"Music is not just an accessory to anime.
Music is not some flashy statement of personal taste.
What is music? What is life?
What do I truly love?
Honk brings the senses.
Honk is pure essence.
There is nothing attached—just music, nothing else.
And I am savoring the joy of simply being able to listen to it."
— Yakob Tanaka a.k.a. Yanushi
