This is both a template and a completed form. Terumasa Hino captivates the world, effortlessly crossing eras and genres.

His sound and presence are truly top of the tops. Long before Japanese jazz came to be known as “wa-jazz,” and even before the rare groove movement, "Hip Seagull" had been shaking dancefloors, stimulating listeners, and fascinating collectors. Since his first album "Alone, Alone and Alone," Terumasa Hino has continued to remain at the forefront. He has left behind works that can be called masterpieces in every era, and this album, recorded in 1978, is one that should be counted among his representative works. The album features tracks with a special atmosphere, including the epic "Hip Seagull," which develops from a dreamlike intro into jazz-funk, and the mellow, cosmic "This Planet Is Ours." This is both a template and a completed form. "Hip Seagull" captivates the past, the present, and the future.
