The second album, "Design," by Interiors, composed of Daisuke Hinata and Hidenori Nonaka, has been reissued for the first time! The group released three works in total. Their first album was released under the name "Interior" in 1982 by Alfa Records (Hosono Haruomi's YEN RECORDS). It was also featured in the compilation "Kankyō Ongaku: Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980-1990," released by Light in the Attic in 2018, which garnered much attention.
