不論是參加powerbook三人組snoweffect或是單獨以Cinq的代號創作，竹村理明的音樂感覺都與「咖啡廳氣氛」這個主題密不可分。聽Day Off尤其讓人彷彿身處在一個窗明几淨，室內與室外溫度有些差異，光線與亮度卻幾乎一樣，可以泡掉一整天的好地方。
與上一張的Cinq專輯Sketch相隔兩年半，竹村的音樂明顯趨於純熟雅緻，以聲音塑造mood的手法則更加迷人的輕描淡寫卻又直接到位。風格上Cinq除了不時流露自己的爵士樂與吉他手背景，也找來包括二階堂和美、manima、船戶博史、柏倉隆史（toe）、塚越寬之（firo）和turntable玩家dj klock跨刀獻出各自的特色，促成了這張耐人尋味的情調音樂。

Cinq, the second artist to follow world's end girlfriendon the noblelabel follows their first effort “sketch” with their gentle sound-world which was highly regarded as ‘hand woven brocade of electonic sound' by various culture and club music magazines, and by the music industry. This release is 2 years and 4 months on from the last, and his signature acoustic guitar lyricism which recalls Bill Frisell and Pat Methany mixes with soft electronic sounds. Featuring collaborations with artists he respects such as Kazumi Nikaido on vocals, dj klock on turn tables and programming, Hiroshi Funato on woodbass (FUCHIGAMI TO FUNATO), Takashi Kashikura (toe) on drums, a twisted but comfortable harmony is born from the combination of electronics and instruments to make a beautiful album. The title “day off” indicates not a holiday or vacation, but a regular, un-special off day, and is cinq's effort to create a stimulating album to listen to on such a day.
