**The unreleased 1984 follow-up to the groundbreaking albums 'Kakashi' and Mariah's 'Utakata No Hibi'**
'Kiren' is Yasuaki Shimizu's work of experimental dance music. Employing cutting edge production to create lush new wave soundscapes, it bridges the gap between his early 80s recordings and his later work with the Saxophonettes, filling a key lost chapter in his discography.
Unreleased until now, 'Kiren' represents an important period of Shimizu's artistic expression, an artist at his peak, while successfully exploring the intersections of fusion, synthpop, new wave, and jazz.
