Aura means "wind" in Latin. The floating, nostalgic and nostalgic sound is pleasant. A wonderful album that gets better every time you listen to it."

The members are Yukiko Hayakawa (p), Comeri (vo), Taiichi Kamimura (ss, ts), Yutaka Kaido (b), and Kyoshi Iya (ds).

The band was formed 11 years ago (around 2010) as a duo by Comeri (vocals) and Yukiko Hayakawa (piano). After a long period of activity in the form of a duo, the number of members gradually increased to the current lineup (5 members) in order to further expand their expression.The concept of the band is "to express our Japanese taste through the filter of jazz standards, without being bound by genres, valuing what we were born, raised, and felt.
