Schole have been knocking 'em out for a while now and they're up to their second label comp now. Yikes doesn't time fly.... Tempus fugit and all that. Yeah I did Latin... In pictura est puelle, est nomine Flavia... The spelling's all wrong but it's still in there should they invent a time machine so I can go back to Rome and speak rudimentary Latin at people confused by my hilarious accent. Here you get 15 exclusive tracks from the folks on the Schole roster by the likes of Akira Kosemura, Haruka Nakamura, Dom Mino, Sawako, Flica, Paniyolo and other Japanese folks. They all specialise in that nice sort of pastoral twinkly electro acoustic electronica. It's all very tasteful and inoffensive and pleasing and you'd be happy enough to have it on in the background while you're pottering about the house doing those things you don't want to do but you really have to do.

The invitation to the world with full of joy and devotion to music, which cannot convey in words, It contains 15 of lovable pieces which was rubbed by schole’s “present” and “hereafter” like a dream.

Each artist just played earnestly their “favorite sounds.” “Note of Seconds” is an album filled with such immaculate love to music. In a long awaited tune called “revise” by akira kosemura + haruka nakamura after three years of individual works, a vocalist Miho Ota (who supports in UA’ s pieces and tours) accompanies herself as lovely flowers and make a tune really suitable for decorating the Continues from “revise,” in a debut tune called “Koi no Hikari” by a new unit Tokinowa, formed by akira kosemura, muneki takasaka (paniyolo,) Janis Crunch, while reflecting a girl’ s swinging feeling of ephemeral love, a tune mildly lights up the positivity. “Koi no Hikari” can be described as the label’s new look. While each of new-comers that cannot wait for future releases such as “hummingbirt stereo,” “yoshinori takezawa,” “ghost and tape,” and “Janis Crunch” put their fresh pieces, the familiar artists that kept enlivens label such as haruka nakamura, paniyolo, dom mino’, flica, sawako + daisuke niyatani, motohiro nakashima, teruyuki nobuchika also presented their newly made pieces.
