身兼作曲家、錄音工程師與網頁設計師數職的Kazumasa Hashimoto，在這首張專輯上，討喜地運用自小學起的鋼琴以及吉他等弦樂器與電子聲響效果搭配組合，以妙曼的編曲輕鬆呈現聲音本身的美感。風格方面，他交替運用搖擺音型和下行五聲音階營造出遊樂與哀傷兩種相對比的氣氛，而層層重複音階所產生的時間被延長的感覺，似乎與Avro Part的作曲手法類似，又彷彿是介於Ekkehard Ehlers、竹村延和與The Penguin Cafe Orchestra之間，成功表達了漫步於樹蔭下，天上白雲變化，腳底綠草如茵的意境。

Kazumasa Hashimoto is a composer, mastering engineer and a web designer from Tokyo, Japan. He plays the piano from his childhood and studied composition at Tokyo College of Music (a prestigious music school) in Japan. Besides making his own tracks, he also participates in various albums as a pianist and works as a mastering engineer for several labels.

"Yupi" is this talented man's debut album. The album consists of few long pieces and short interludes to express the whole. He plays and uses various orchestral instruments such as piano, chello, violin, flute, drums, guitars to make the basic structure and combines it with digital pleasant sound effects on the computers to create his total new world. You will find that the tracks are meant to hear the tones itself as well as the beautiful arrangements. Maybe his music can be described as somewhere between the works of Ekkehard Ehlers, Nobukazu Takemura and The Penguin Cafe Orchestra.
