conceptualized and recorded remotely in California and Minnesota during the pandemic, yana-imi and Micah Chibana's "imi ru yataru | just a dream" EP consists of one original song from each artist and a collaborative cover of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion." both original songs draw influence from the artists' shared cultural heritage and incorporate a traditional Ryūkyūan/Okinawan instrument called sanshin.
