It is a core track of the album, driven by sharp electric guitar solos and a solid rhythm section. Combining the power of rock guitar with the complex chord and rhythm sensibilities unique to fusion, it most clearly showcases Wada's technique and improvisational sense accumulated as a PRISM guitarist. Banana Cabana / "Banana Cabana" A3 'Banana Cabana' is a track composed by the Latin jazz fusion master Naoya Matsuoka, featuring bright, exotic rhythms and smooth guitar tones. While putting flashy performance at the forefront, the melody is friendly, making it worthy of being evaluated as a song that can be enjoyed without burden by everyone from fusion beginners to Wamon and City Pop collectors. The meeting of Matsuoka's compositional sense and Wada's rock-style guitar effectively demonstrates the album's jazz-funk and Latin fusion colors. A1. Humming Frogs – 6:36 A2. Up Above – 4:05 A3.
