Beautiful skyscapes beyond the trees choreographed to the mesmerizing sound of “Daylight” by Kokin Gumi from their “Zen Garden” CD. The music for this CD was written by the late Masakazu Yoshizawa, who is also heard performing in this recording. For more info visit: www.kokingumi.com, or visit the ‘more info’ section of my “There’s More To It” video, featuring “Snow” by the same great artists of Kokin Gumi. The depictive photography was carefully choreographed to quotes written by me that are sure to awaken your spirit, stir your soul, and provoke your thoughts.

As a result, Yu joins a local gang and becomes a master of hentai photography. Amidst the chaos that ensues, he falls in love at first sight with Yoko, whom he later discovers will become his new step sister.
