More info about this intriguing album: “Kaze no Notam" was released in 1997 by Art Dink Corporation, known for its popular simulation games such as "A Train on the A Train" series ('85 onward) and "Aquanaut's Holiday" ('95). The title "NOTAM" is an abbreviation for "NOtice To AirMen," an aviation term. The developer's meaning is "the wind gives us a flight permit for our flight. In this game, players operate a balloon to clear conditions in two modes, "Round" and "Tritask." The game was a hit because of its highly realistic balloon operation and the worldview of three stages where the weather and time can be set. One of the reasons why the game is still talked about by fans is its soundtrack. The music produced by the Art Dink production team, while based on electronic music, is not confined to the game music genre, but is diverse, ranging from ambient, house/techno, electronica, and city pop, with a futuristic sound that has been highly praised for its high quality, The soundtrack version of the album has been eagerly awaited. In addition, the jacket artwork was designed by Hiroshi Nagai, who created the image of city pop that is currently being re-examined worldwide.”
