Credits on the song "朝露のように (Like Morning Dew)" also tie him to Cesli Vane, listed as "Cesli Vane (Lyrics by Gontani Tatsuya)."
The project
U-Rock®'s artist profile for Gontani Music Worldwide lists its genre as "Indie / Peace Rock" and describes it as "independent music & community radio from the Noto Peninsula — global peace & collaboration." The official site, gontani.com, also presents the internet radio station NOTO MOTHER EARTH WAVE and the "能登・新時代の風2026" (Noto: wind of a new era 2026) banner. U-Rock® Records catalog notes say the limited Japanese CD of The Collection — The Best Of Sarajevo ships from Japan via Gontani Music Worldwide.

The play logs list more than a hundred song titles, written in both Japanese and English. Among them are "Hymns," "変わらないぬくもり Unchanging warmth trance," "Smile for me," "I don't need memories anymore," "Apology for peace" and "あたらしい時代をともに."
