Sim City is an electronica album by Susumu Hirasawa. Inspiration for this album came from visits to Thailand and transsexuals. Several Thai vocalists have appeared in this album, providing some samples for his songs. Susumu Hirasawa later took some songs from this album, remixed it, and released it again in Switched-on Lotus, a memorial soundtrack.
Initially, it wasn't a Thai-related album, but a sequel to the previous album, Aurora, which was going to be a 90's version of Pink Floyd 's The Dark Side of the Moon . The theme was " backside of the moon ", and at that time "moon shadow" and "Caravan" were created.
