Towards the end of the year, Trees will bring together Lin Sheng Xiang and Okinawan musician Takashi Hirayusu in an arrangement that will have each of them visit the other's home village. Chung says, "After building mutual understanding in regards to each artist's cultural roots and dialogue, these two trips will serve as material for recording a work that crosses borders."
年底，則會替林生祥與沖繩音樂家平安隆進行合作計畫，先讓平安隆造訪林生祥的故鄉美濃，再讓林生祥前往平安隆的故鄉沖繩，「彼此都瞭解對方的文化根源，具有充分的對話基礎後，再用這兩次旅行作為材料，構思錄製跨界風格的新作。」
