''Free Your Mind #33'' is the first
LP recording by Japanese group
Dragon Ash, released in 1998.
Dragon Ash chose to release an LP format record because after the release of
Buzz Songs in 1998, their new
hip hop sound was escalating and there was a high demand for analogue versions of "陽はまたのぼりくりかえす" (
Hi wa Mata Noborikuri Kaesu), which sampled drums from "
We Will Rock You" by
Queen, and "
Under Age's Song (Album Mix)". In addition to these two tracks, they also updated "Fever" and "Baby Girl Was Born" from their 1997 album
Mustang! with a more hip hop sound. Their collaboration with MIHO on this LP also set the groundwork for the production duo of Kj and BOTS collaborating with and producing future albums for other artists such as
Sugar Soul,
Wyolica
Wyolica (ワイヨリカ) is a Japanese two-piece folk-pop/chillout group. They consist of Azumi (vocals) and So-To (guitar) and debuted in 1999. The band's name is a neologism defined as "people of the grass fields.”
