A waltz jacket that connects with the listener, with everyone dancing in a fantasy world.

When I hold a piece of music in my hands, I think the old-fashioned jewel cases and paper jackets that fit comfortably on my CD shelf are functional and simple, but I'm drawn to the custom-made, handcrafted feel and the way they are made with love.

"Circles" is a waltz compilation featuring artists from around the world.
The jacket resembles an old picture book or a paper theater, and its adorable appearance, as if it was printed privately to give as a gift to someone, makes you want to display it on your bookshelf so you can look at it whenever you want.
The illustrations and designs are by Miyake Ryuto, who has also worked on many FLAU label works.

I pull it out of the sleeve and the red disc starts to spin, opening the door to a story, and I take my steps and begin to dance in the world of my imagination. A waltz where I transform sadness into melody and dance all night with a bear. A swan waltz that spreads ripples of love. A waltz where I master body language by pouring my heart right down to my fingertips. A waltz for the eternal serenity that I will dance someday. If I could live in three beats, would my life be lighter?

Whose footprints are these?
What does the exchange of glances mean?
By posing a riddle that takes a step back, the viewer is free to feel something new. The experience is imprinted in their mind. And so, the piece becomes special for that person.

Although it has some sort of narrative quality, the essential story is left to the imagination of the person who holds it in their hands.
The design has a nice sense of space and playfulness to it.
