Alto Saxophone, Sopranino Saxophone, Flute, Electric Piano – Sadao Watanabe
Bass – Yoshio Suzuki
Drums – Fumio Watanabe
Flugelhorn – Chiyoshige Matsubara, Masahiro Tanaka
Guitar – Yoshiaki.
Simone Rossetti - lead vocals, Mellotron, synthesizers, flute
Giorgio Gabriel - electric guitars, 6- & 12-string acoustic guitars, classical guitar
Marco Fabbri - drums & percussion
Mattia Rossetti - basses, bass pedals, 6- & 12-string electric guitars, vocals
Valerio De Vittorio - keyboards, Hammond L122 organ, Mellotron, synthesizers
