A performance according "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" to a piano sound source and the synthesizer strings. Although "Saint-Saens's Le Cygne" was a piano sound by the computer, Theremin united with the arrangement over for 4 minutes was delicate solemn sound just like a cello.

And "Itsuki no Komoriuta" is a performance in the unit on a Shamisen and a piano.

This is the first time that a pro's Japanese tradition folk song singer performs together with Theremin in the world. The sound of the ensemble of Theremin and a Shamisen is beautiful.
