［Description］

A female vocal group, MAREWREW, revives the traditional Ainu song "Upopo" in the modern era.
This release features a re-recording of all the songs from their 1st mini-album MAREWREW released in 2010, along with 4 new tracks added as bonus tracks. The album focuses on songs deeply connected to Marewrew, passed down and sung in the Chikapunitan, the people who lived in Chipukani or who have some mentality or identity that I live with Chipukani.

In Asahikawa, there is a district where the Ainu people live called "Chikapuni Kotan," and Marewrew members Rekpo and Mayunkikiki are also from Chikapuni. (※"Kotan" means settlement or village.) Additionally, Kumie Kawamura runs the Kawamura Kaneto Ainu Memorial Museum in Chikapuni.

The album also includes songs of Rimirim, who hails from the shores of Lake Akan in Eastern Hokkaido. This album is a folklore of Ainu.

"I realized that the vessel that has carried these songs is not CDs or records, but the human body. Music is passed down mouth to mouth, not in written words or musical notes. This album makes you think deeply about the meaning of songs, music, and language, and the history they connect to. I would love to create a piece with Marewrew someday."

"Before I knew it, I was on a cradle, spinning round and round with a song, and my memory was drawn into the distant past where it all began."

"So gentle, yet such a powerful shower of sacred voices!! It's like a prayer of Mother that gently wraps around you no matter when!! A polyphonic trance tapestry is woven by the oldest instrument of humanity, the voice!! I was deeply healed from the warmth of Marewrew that entered into the spirals of my ears!! ❤️ Among female vocal groups around the world, led by Zap Mama, Marewrew emits a special warmth and kindness. 💝"
