Blue Limbo is the ninth solo album bySusumu Hirasawa.
Thedystopian themes of the album were influenced by theIraq War and the remaining traces of theCambodian Civil War. One day before its release, "High-Minded Castle" and a new re-recording of "Love Song" fromAurora were given away for free to be used as a way to protest against theAmerican response to theSeptember 11 attacks and the compliance of theJapanese government to those actions.[1]
