Virtual Rabbit is Susumu Hirasawa's third solo album.
Overview
Virtual Rabbit was made in the same style as the previous two albums, although greater in scale, with compositions more in line with Hirasawa's later solo work, and with a larger focus on orchestral styled instrumentation. It explores reality, religion, science, and dreams.
With this album, Hirasawa continued to streamline his production methods, reducing the use of guest musicians in the album almost completely to choral backing.
This was the first Hirasawa album to be engineered by Masanori Chinzei, who has since worked as engineer on all of Hirasawa's music.
